Submit Manufacturer Request

Manufacturer is one of the required information for creating new items in Newegg Marketplace. Only pre-defined values from our system can be used. A complete manufacturer list can be retrieved using Manufacturer Lookup. If the manufacturer(s) for your items are not available from our system, you can submit new manufacturer creation request to Newegg Marketplace.

It is encouraged that you provide as much Manufacturer information as possible, as it will greatly speed up the approval process. Any submissions without the MFR URL may be subject to review, additional processing time, and/or rejection.
