If a product that you are going to sell is listed already from another seller, Amazon prefers using the current image. If an ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) for a product is already available, then the listing process would be expedited.
Amazon accepts product information in formats XML, text or a web/desktop based product submission tool.
