Bulk item delete

Date: January 22, 2026

We added support for bulk deletion of seller-fulfilled items using the DELETE_ITEM feed type in the Bulk Item Setup API. You can now remove multiple SKUs in a single request through the same ingestion pipeline used for item creation and updates. No additional onboarding or configuration is required. This new feature is designed to help sellers and channel partners streamline catalog management and reduce operational friction.

What changed

• New feed type capability: The Bulk Item Setup API now supports DELETE_ITEM actions on the existing ingestion endpoint (POST /v3/feeds), enabling a single feed to remove many SKUs.
• Consistent processing: Delete feeds use the same ingestion, validation, and confirmation workflow as create/update; responses confirm results per SKU.

Scope

The update applies to seller-fulfilled item management via the Bulk Item Setup API, including permanent SKU deletion, multi-SKU cleanup (end-of-life and duplicates).

This does not affect publishing, unpublishing, pricing, or inventory APIs. Only partners using the Bulk Item Setup API for catalog maintenance will see changes.

Why this matters

• Faster catalog hygiene: Remove many SKUs in one operation instead of individual calls.
• Consistent tooling: Reuse your existing Item Spec generation and ingestion infrastructure.
• Clearer processing: Standardized, per-SKU confirmations make deletion easier to track.
• Improved data fidelity: Cleaner catalogs reduce confusion and prevent invalid downstream updates.

Next steps

• Roadmap: Extend bulk item delete functionality to WFS-eligible items.
• Refer to the API guide and API reference for detailed instructions, sample payloads, and best practices.
