Error 8541

What causes error 8541?

This error is commonly referred to as a "single matching error" and occurs when your Product ID (UPC, EAN, JAN, ISBN, etc.) corresponds to the Product ID of an existing ASIN; that is, some of the information you are submitting contradicts the product information (title, brand, colour, size, etc.) that is already present for that particular ASIN.

Error Message:

The provided SKU conflicts with the Amazon catalogue. The standard product ID value(s) provided for this SKU correspond to the ASIN; however, some information is in conflict with the Amazon catalogue. The conflicting attribute values(s) are: Brand (Merchant: [MERCHANT_VALUE]/Amazon: [AMAZON_VALUE]). If your product has this ASIN, modify these attributes to reflect the Amazon catalogue values. If your product has a different ASIN, check if the standard product ID value(s) are correct.

How to Solve and Prevent Error 8541:

• Check to make sure that the Product ID you had provided is correct. If it is incorrect, enter the correct product ID in your file and resubmit.
• If you have provided the correct product ID, follow these steps:
  • Update the attributes in your file to match those in the catalogue (these attributes are provided in the error report) and resubmit your file; OR
  • Replace your entry under the Product ID and Product ID Type column with the ASIN provided in the error report and resubmit your file.
