Amazon Error: 8020, 8106, 8108, 8602 Missing Standard Product ID

The "Missing Standard Product ID" error on Amazon indicates that the product listing does not include a necessary product identifier, which is crucial for uniquely identifying products in Amazon’s catalog. These identifiers ensure that each product can be accurately tracked, searched, and categorized within Amazon’s vast marketplace. Common product identifiers include UPC (Universal Product Code), EAN (European Article Number), ISBN (International Standard Book Number), and others. The absence of these identifiers can lead to listing issues and reduced visibility on the platform.

Common Causes of Missing Standard Product ID Error:

1. Incomplete Product Data: The product listing lacks a required product identifier.
2. Incorrect Data Entry: Typographical errors or incorrect entry of the product identifier.
3. Nonexistent Identifier: The product does not have an assigned UPC, EAN, ISBN, or other standard ID.
4. Policy Changes: Changes in Amazon’s requirements for product identifiers that have not been implemented in the listing.
5. Listing Format Issues: Errors in the format or structure of the product listing that prevent the identifier from being recognized.

To resolve the "Missing Standard Product ID" error, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Required Product Identifier:
   • Determine which product identifier is required for your listing. This could be a UPC, EAN, ISBN, or another standard product ID based on the product category and Amazon’s guidelines.
2. Verify Product Identifier:
   • Ensure you have the correct product identifier for the item. If you are unsure, check with the manufacturer or supplier to obtain the correct identifier.
   • If your product does not have a standard identifier, you may need to obtain one. This can be done through services like GS1 for UPCs and EANs.
3. Correct Data Entry:
   • Double-check the product identifier for any typographical errors. Ensure it is entered correctly in the appropriate field in Amazon Seller Central.
4. Update Product Listing:
   • Access your product listing in Amazon Seller Central.
   • Add the correct product identifier in the designated field. Ensure all other product information is accurate and complete.
   • Save and submit the updated listing.
5. Use Amazon’s Listing Tools:
   • Utilize Amazon’s Listing Quality Dashboard and other tools to check for missing or incorrect product identifiers. These tools can help ensure your listings meet Amazon’s standards.
6. Apply for GTIN Exemption:
   • If your product legitimately does not have a standard product ID and cannot obtain one, you can apply for a GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) exemption through Amazon Seller Central. Follow Amazon’s process to request and justify the exemption.
7. Contact Amazon Seller Support:
   • If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact Amazon Seller Support for assistance. Provide detailed information about the error and the steps you’ve taken to correct it.
