Automatic product matching
As in another Amazon integration extension, there should be a function that automatically searches amazon for products that are already listed from other sellers and provide the possibility to the owner to just be added as another seller to the already existing product listing instead of creating a new one. During the search, this function should present to the user possible matches for every product and ask him to choose the right one. The search filter should be chosen by the user (search by product name, UPC etc). This should be combined with the repricing idea.

This is an automatic Amazon function. Amazon does not want to clutter its site with duplicate products (although it does happen quite often). When products are submitted to Amazon via any method, Amazon attempts to match to an existing ASIN in its catalog. If it finds an exact match, it will attach your product to that ASIN. If it finds a lot of close matches, it will return a multiple matching error along with potential ASINs it detects as possible matches. Most Amazon integrated software I've seen are able to display those ASINs with thumbnail images and relevant attribute data (size, color, brand, etc.). Then the user selects which ASIN to match to. I submitted a request to match to multiple ASINs for maximum visibility.
