Overview

Amazon Seller Central uses a set of error codes in the 90000 series to flag issues that arise during product listing creation, feed submissions, and inventory management. These codes span a wide range — from 90001 through 99109 — and understanding them is essential for sellers who want to resolve listing problems quickly and keep their catalog running smoothly.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Broad error range — The 90000 series encompasses well over 150 distinct error codes, covering listing data validation, product attribute issues, feed processing failures, and catalog integration problems.
• Multiple sub-ranges exist — Codes are grouped into sub-ranges (90xxx, 95xxx, 96xxx, 97xxx, 98xxx, and 99xxx), each generally associated with different types of listing or feed issues.
• Errors block listing publication — When a 90000-series error appears, the affected listing or feed submission typically cannot proceed until the underlying data issue is corrected.
• Individual lookup required — Each error code has its own specific cause and resolution. Sellers should look up the exact code they encounter in Seller Central's Help Hub for targeted guidance.
• Common triggers include missing or invalid data — Many of these errors stem from incomplete product attributes, incorrect category assignments, mismatched identifiers (UPC, EAN, ASIN), or formatting problems in flat file uploads.

How These Error Codes Work

When sellers submit product data to Amazon — whether through Seller Central's Add a Product interface, flat file uploads, or API-based feeds — the system validates every field against Amazon's catalog requirements. If a submission fails validation, the system returns one or more error codes from this series along with a brief message describing the problem. These errors appear in the feed processing report, the listing status page, or the API response depending on how the data was submitted. Sellers must address each flagged issue individually before re-submitting.

Common Sub-Ranges and Their Focus Areas

The 90000–90299 range is the largest group and generally covers core product listing validation errors. These include problems with required attributes like title, brand, manufacturer, and item type keywords, as well as issues with product identifiers and category-specific fields. The 95000 range typically relates to more specialized catalog and variation issues, including parent-child relationship errors and product type conflicts. The 99000 range often involves feed-level processing errors, data formatting problems, and system-level rejections that prevent an entire submission from being accepted.
