Overview

Amazon sellers who list any electrical or electronic product on the German marketplace (amazon.de) may be stopped by Error 100007. The error appears when Amazon cannot verify a valid German WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) registration number for the item. Because Germany’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) law obliges every producer or importer to register electronic goods, the error can halt sales in one of Europe’s biggest e‑commerce hubs.

Key Points

• Mandatory German WEEE number — Every seller, whether based in Germany or abroad, must hold an active German WEEE registration before any electronic item can be listed on amazon.de.
• Error 100007 blocks listings — If the registration is missing, expired, or entered incorrectly, Amazon automatically hides the affected SKUs and prevents them from appearing in search results.
• Separate from other EU registrations — A valid WEEE number issued in France, Italy or any other EU state does not satisfy Germany’s requirement; a distinct German registration is required for each product sold in Germany.
• Application timeline can span weeks — The registration process involves submitting documentation to the German authority (or an authorized representative) and waiting for a confirmation number, which typically takes 2‑4 weeks.
• All product categories must be covered — The registration must encompass every electronic category you intend to sell—smartphones, kitchen appliances, power tools, etc.—or Amazon will flag the missing categories individually.
• Non‑compliance carries legal risk — Beyond Amazon’s listing block, German law can impose fines or enforcement actions on producers who fail to meet EPR obligations.

How to Resolve Error 100007

1. Apply for a German WEEE registration — Submit the required forms to the German “Stiftung Elektro-Altgeräte Register” (EAR) or use a certified local agent; for example, a UK‑based seller can authorize a German compliance partner to file the application on their behalf.
2. Receive the registration number — After the authority processes the paperwork, you will be issued a unique WEEE registration ID (e.g., DE‑12345678); keep this identifier in a secure location for future reference.
