Short answer

Seller Central is Amazon's web portal for third-party (3P) sellers who list and sell products directly to shoppers on the Amazon marketplace. Sellers use it to manage listings, pricing, inventory, orders, and advertising. Unlike Amazon's first-party model, sellers set their own prices and retain control of their products.
