Overview

Error 100425 is a Seller Central catalog error that blocks sellers from editing or contributing to a product listing due to restricted permissions. When this error appears, Amazon has suppressed the attempted change because the seller's account lacks the required authorization level for that particular listing or category. Understanding why this error triggers and how to resolve it can save sellers significant time when managing their catalog.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Contribution suppressed — When error 100425 fires, Amazon completely blocks the attempted listing change rather than partially applying it. The edit will not go through until the underlying permission issue is resolved.
• Multiple causes — This error can stem from restricted editing permissions on a listing, insufficient account-level authorization, or attempting edits in categories that require special approval.
• Brand and category restrictions — Listings tied to registered brands or gated categories often have tighter editing controls, meaning even active sellers may encounter this error on certain ASINs.
• Authorization is account-specific — Your ability to edit a listing depends on your individual seller account's authorization level, not just whether you have an active offer on the product.

Why This Error Occurs

Error 100425 typically surfaces in three scenarios. First, a seller may attempt to modify a listing where editing permissions have been locked down, often because the brand owner or Amazon itself has restricted who can change catalog data for that product. Second, the seller's account may simply lack the authorization tier needed for the type of edit being attempted, such as modifying key product attributes versus minor detail fields. Third, the product may sit in a restricted or gated category that requires additional approval, certification, or documentation before catalog contributions are accepted. In all three cases, Amazon's system evaluates the incoming change against its permission rules and suppresses the contribution before it reaches the catalog.

How to Resolve Error 100425

Start by reviewing your current authorization level within Seller Central. Amazon provides tools that let you check your modification rights for specific products, so verify exactly which fields and attributes you are permitted to edit on the listing in question. Next, check the status of the product itself — some ASINs have temporary or permanent editing restrictions that apply to all third-party sellers. If you determine that you need elevated permissions, prepare the proper documentation such as authorization letters from brand owners, invoices proving a legitimate supply relationship, or category-specific certifications. Submit these through the appropriate Seller Central workflows, whether that is a brand registry request, a category approval application, or a case to Seller Support referencing the specific ASIN and error code.
