Overview

Error 18150 is a listing submission error that Amazon sellers may encounter when attempting to create or update product offers on the marketplace. This error indicates that something about the submitted listing has triggered a rejection, typically due to policy violations, missing information, or pricing issues. Understanding the root causes and resolution steps can help sellers get their listings back on track quickly.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Listing rejected at submission — Error 18150 means Amazon's systems have flagged a problem with the offer listing you attempted to submit, preventing it from going live on the marketplace.
• Multiple possible causes — The error can stem from policy violations, incomplete listing data, or pricing that falls outside Amazon's expected competitive range.
• Check your notifications — Amazon typically sends detailed information about the specific issue through performance notifications and email, so those should be your first stop.
• Account health matters — Existing restrictions or performance issues on your account can also trigger this error, even if the listing itself appears correct.
• Fixable with corrections — Once you identify and address the underlying issue, you can resubmit the offer to clear the error.

Common Causes of Error 18150

There are three primary reasons sellers encounter this error. First, the listing may contain elements that violate Amazon's policies or guidelines. This could include restricted product claims, prohibited keywords, or content that does not meet Amazon's listing standards. Second, the offer may have missing or incorrect required information, such as incomplete product identifiers, missing condition notes, or improperly formatted data fields. Third, the offer price may be significantly outside the expected competitive range for the marketplace, which Amazon flags as a potential pricing error to protect both sellers and buyers from listing mistakes.

It is worth noting that Amazon's automated systems are designed to catch these issues proactively, so even minor deviations from expected norms can trigger this error. Sellers who list across multiple marketplaces should pay particular attention to marketplace-specific requirements, as what passes validation in one region may not in another.
