Recently we have seen threads addressing issues with listing translation. We want to open discussion about this topic by sharing tips with the community.

Did you know that Amazon offers several easy ways to automatically translate your product listings for selling in different countries and languages?

Are you looking to expand your Amazon business globally? One key step is to translate your product listings into the languages of your target markets. Amazon offers several tools to help sellers do this efficiently. Let me guide you through the options.

Translate One Listing at a Time If you just need to translate a single product, you can do it right from the Manage Inventory page. Simply find the listing you want to translate, select "Edit", and then scroll down to the "Manage offers in other stores" section. Here you can select the additional Amazon store(s) you want to list in and enter the translated details like title, description, etc.

Translate in Bulk with Inventory Templates For translating your entire catalog or multiple listings at once, you'll want to use Amazon's inventory file templates. Download the "Multi-Store Listing" template, fill in the translated details, and then upload the file. Amazon will automatically create or update your listings in the target stores.

Use the Build International Listings (BIL) Tool The BIL tool is a real game-changer for global expansion. It allows you to connect your "source" store (e.g. UK) to one or more "target" stores (e.g. France, Germany, etc.). From there, Amazon will automatically translate your listings, create new product detail pages if needed, and keep prices synchronised across stores.

The setup takes a bit of work upfront, but once it's configured, BIL handles everything hands-off. Just make changes to your source store and Amazon will propagate them internationally. It's a huge time-saver.

Pro Tips:

✔ Review translated content carefully before publishing. You want to ensure accuracy.

✔ Consider adding a "Sold by" field to your listings so customers know your location.

✔ Be aware of any legal or regulatory requirements in your target markets.

✔ Translate one product at a time - You can use the edit product page to translate an existing ASIN or add a new ASIN and translate it. This allows you to selectively translate products.

Please share your experience with listing translations in the comments!

Request to Remove Incorrect Images from Listing
by Seller_e04PAp57GXQvV

Hello,

case ID: 11085331712

We have images for this listing, but two of them are incorrect and still showing. I have already removed them, yet they have not been taken off the listing. Could you please remove the incorrect images?

I’ve contacted Seller Support multiple times, but they continue to say they cannot remove images I have uploaded, and therefore cannot assist. I also reached out to the Managing Director’s team, but they simply referred me back to Seller Support—who repeated the same response.

Could you please escalate this issue or advise on a definitive solution?

Thank you,

Remote Fulfillment No Listings Active UK to Germany
by Seller_jLz8Ia9kOyNaj

I have been successfully selling our products via Remote Fulfillment from the UK FBA to the Germany marketplace. However, around mid-March, the listings in Germany suddenly became unavailable, even though we have sufficient inventory in our UK FBA warehouse.

I have already opened three support cases regarding this matter, but it has now been over a month without any resolution. The issue remains unresolved, and we are unable to sell our products in Germany, despite the listings being active and inventory being available in the source marketplace (UK).

This issue is severely impacting our business, resulting in lost sales and profits on a daily basis.

Amazon keep matching to my product price
by Seller_cTMW3klxGb1Um

I have a branded product listed in my inventory and currently only me and Amazon are available in that list. But for some reason Amazon is not providing me a buy box and keep matching my price with its own.

I have checked on multiple other devices then mine and I can see that Amazon is matching my price and also keeping the buy box to itself.

Does anyone know what could be the reason behind it and what to do about it? Because I do not want to drop the price on a level where I only get lose and no profit.

Potential High Pricing
by Seller_ZVAz3d5lZuGid

I have started a new thread re. this issue again, as have just received yet another listing deactivation for 'potential high pricing'. Absolutely ridiculous deactivation. My item (a book) is priced at £24.95 in 'Very Good' condition (it actually is almost like new, but I do always try and describe accurately), yet there is one listed as just 'Good' for £71.64 ! Admittedly that one is listed as Collectible , so these do not get deactivated, but there is really nothing collectible about it ! - they have obviously just listed it as such so they can list at a high price. This makes me SO angry.

Amazon wants a UK listing to be in Italian language
by Seller_rluydfDQ8rGNc
Amazon replied

Cannot update listing because Amazon wants the title to be in Italian language....Cannot make changes/ create sales etc as I get the error that 'the tite conflicts with value 'XXXXX' for ASIN Z in the Amazon catalogue'. This value, is Italian. Obviously, not right for the UK.

Seller support are obviously useless. Can a mod assit? @Seller_DNQGSsdC7DccM@Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP

Error8572
by Seller_YgS56ktUhUrfb

I keep getting error code 8572. I gave seller support all the information they needed about my UPC code and I get the same response over and over again, I bought it from the official GS1 UK site. It has been about few days ago since creating the first listing.

1. The details on the GS1 were correct. GS1 UK GTIN certificate provided

2. I have created and deleted the listing several times, and the same error 8572 keeps popping up.

Hello!

We sell "Handmade" items in the US, UK, and German Amazon Store. The listings are always created manually - no "Excel Upload". This has worked for multiple hundred listings without a problem. About two months ago, the listings in the US shop started to fail at a 50% chance. They get placed under "incomplete listings" with the following "reason":

"You are receiving this error as you may be adding Offer-Listing(s) or editing a SKU not present in your catalog or one that’s been deleted. If this was a deleted SKU, wait 24 hours before resubmitting it. If you tried to add this SKU to the Amazon catalog before, check your data and correct any errors before resubmitting. If product is being added to a marketplace from another one, it may require few hours for localization before it is valid, please check your seller account for progress or any issues.. SKU [censored] does not match any ASIN and contains invalid values for attributes required for creation of a new ASIN. New ASIN creation requires the following attributes, for which this SKU provided invalid attribute value(s): merchant_suggested_asin."

All of those reasons are false:

  • No deleted SKU is added
  • This SKU wasn't added before
  • This SKU is not present on another market place and doesn't need to be translated
  • Of course it doesn't match any ASIN - it is brand new
  • The ASIN for handmade products is created automaticaly, and the "merchant_suggested_asin"-attribute does not exist in the UI, when a handmade listing is created.

If I delete the failed listing and create a new one, it usually succeeds. However, I would appreciate if it worked on the first try.

I have spoken to Amazon Seller Support about ten times and I get a different reason for this error message every time. They basically ignore that I did create listings in the past without any problems. The told me to:

  • Take the Handmade Webinar
  • Create the Listings with the Excel Upload
  • Those products are marked as discontinued
  • Gave me an instruction how to create Handmade listings (which is the exact way how I always do it)
  • Told me to - and I quote - "add the Handmade Classification attribute, indicate whether your product is handcrafted, hand-altered, hand-designed, upcycled, or repurposed." They just made this up! This attribute literaly doesn't exist.
  • "This is a problem we cannot solve. We will forward your request to a specialized team" - only to send me the next stupid reason that doesn't solve anything.

I have added so many Handmade listings and never ran into an error. Now they fail all the time - while I do it the same way I always did, but Amazon doesn't even consider that it might be a problem on their end...

If someone has an idea, I would be very greatful!

Product improvements
by Seller_D1Hx2jN2uH4nq

Hi,

I would like to increase the size of my product by a couple of centimetre's based on some feedback. Can I edit the original listing to show the new dimensions or will I need to create a new one? I'm looking to order my second batch of inventory so would like to know the answer before I proceed.

Many thanks

Lee

Error 5461 - Amazon support not helping at all
by Seller_cLHXtCUSzQdr4

Dear colleagues,

We manufacture a few products ourselves. We registered with GS1 and got all of our products verified by them. Then we started to try to list items on Amazon, that's when the problems started.

Firstly, our brand wasn't registered, we received an error 5665. Amazon support resolved this issue, our brand was registered and we finally received authorization to create new ASINs. I did create some manually - everything was working smoothly. But then life got in the way and I had to delay listing all of our products by 2 weeks.

When I finally got around to listing these products, I switched our account to the Professional plan, so that I can upload the products in a batch. Unfortunately, now I keep getting the error 5461. Seller support has been extremely unhelpful, they kept rejecting our requests to create new ASINs, and they claim that they cannot provide a reason why. I submitted all documents and pictures. Our facilities are visible, our product is correctly branded, our packaging and label information is up to date, we have a valid GS1 certificate and GTINs for all of the products. If need be, I can change the packaging or any other issue, it's not a problem, but Amazon support doesn't even list the reason.

We genuinely want to start selling on Amazon, it's a big platform. Our product is not cheap - Amazon could make money off of commissions. This practice is not only anti-competitive, but it also hurts Amazon's bottom line. Unfortunately, it's too big to care about a measly business. Shame.

I hope someone can help me or share any advice they may have.

Thank you!

Best regards

IP.
