Have you encountered Error 5461 while trying to create a new product listing on Amazon? Don't worry - this common error has a straightforward solution. Let's walk through what this error means and how to resolve it.

What is Error 5461?

This error appears when you attempt to create a new ASIN but don't yet have approval to list products for that specific brand, even if you have a valid GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) from GS1.

How to Resolve Error 5461?

1. Submit a Brand Approval Application

Your first step is to submit a brand approval application through Seller Central. Here's what you'll need:

  • Exact brand name as it appears on the product
  • Product identifier (UPC, EAN, ISBN, or JAN)
  • Clear, high-quality images showing:

-> The product

-> Product packaging

-> Brand name

_> Barcode

2. For Brand Owners

If you own the brand, make sure your Brand Registry account is properly linked to your Seller Central account. This connection helps streamline the approval process.

3. Wait for Approval

After submitting your application:

  • Processing typically takes up to 24 hours
  • Once approved, you can begin creating new listings for the brand
  • Keep checking your Seller Central notifications for updates

💡 Important Tips to Remember:

  • Always check if the product already exists in Amazon's catalog before creating a new ASIN
  • Double-check that your product identifiers match the GS1 database
  • Save your brand approval documentation for future reference

Still Having Issues?

If you've followed these steps and are still experiencing problems:

1. Verify your brand approval status in Seller Central

2. Ensure all product information matches your approval application

3. Contact Selling Partner Support if the error persists

A-Z claim, then onto a chargeback?
by Seller_d8WfbEccuaGMc

A customer claimed they didn't receive their order (£599.99) despite tracking showing the item delivered at their address. Customer opened an A-Z claim which was denied, they have now gone on to open a chargeback against us.

I'm trying to understand what the point is in A-Z if the customer can lose and then attempt a chargeback AS WELL?

It is not only frustrating as hell that a customer is trying to scam us but we now have to spend valuable time defending ourselves against multiple claims.

The other irritating thing about the chargeback is that we cannot attach any photographic evidence. Is there anywhere images can be uploaded?

Im having an issue which can't be solved via Seller Support.

4 months ago I received a KYC email and promptly uploaded verification details, the next day no issues and the account was back up with full selling privileges.

Today I woke up and I had disbursements cancelled and i couldn't request disbursement. After speaking with seller central they said my account has been subject to a verification check and to check performance notifications. The only performance notifications from Amazon are regarding ID for a secondary user that we cannot get a suitable ID from (that amazon needs) until next month. Since, i have deleted the user just in case this is causing the issue.

After further investigation I have noticed that my driving licence expired yesterday, the one issued within amazon KYC back in February - my issue is, if this is the issue why don't i have a notification to upload the new ID document. I can't get through to anyone and i'm just being told to wait 10 days until KYC team get back to me, it's worrying how they've not sent me any communication regarding this. Unfortunately we have staff and bills to pay for -- Any help in terms of point of contact or help from the mods would be really appreciated.

Hello to all, the buyer left me a feedback 1 star "I did not receive my package; the seller insists it was left in a safe place but acknowledges it was left outside the front door (and was in all probability stolen). My safe place is inside my porch or with my neighbour . They refuse a refund or a replacement so I have had to buy the product from another seller as my cat has ckd and this was for him. Dreadful service" The item has been delivered with tracking number FT220209558GB via Royal Mail (can't post the link, because Amazon didn't allow me). So the buyer firstly try to get money from me, but told him that already delivered and also have a Proof of delivery(picture taken on delivery time by courier). Now she have the item and money of course.... You can check that when you click on Confirm postcode => RG14 5RG . Of course the software reject my appeal with reason "

We have reviewed this feedback and found that it is not in violation of our guidelines and has been retained. To request further review of this decision, re-open the case in Case Log." as 99,99% of the cases here... So can you please remove this feedback, because impact on my Order Defect Rate ? Thank you !

by Seller_EEPvHaAR3chek
Amazon replied

I have been doing the Amazon SFP Trial - when we orginally set up the shipping for Prime Trial all went well it was showing on listing as next day shipping - after about 2 weeks this changed and now the shipping estomated dates are over a week and worse than our normal listings - i have contact Amazon who raised a case and said they would get back to me within 24hrs - since then this case has now disappeared and my listings are still showing worse delivery times than my normal listings - yet all deliveries so far on the trial have been delivered on time - i have tried a couple of time on the chat to resolve this and all i get is read the help files which i have done but still cant find what went wrong overnight

A-z scams
by Seller_QWWKBrsPchf3F

hi all, what do we do about customers that take the Mickey?

Customer stated parcel was not delivered. About £50 worth

Customer opened an a-z and was refunded.

Upon checking the tracking the parcel has been delivered.

I appeal the a-z and send proof of tracking and amazon denied the case.

What on earth is wrong with them? How hard is it to check the tracking which was provided on the order and on the appeal.

Any help appreciated

Hello.

I'm in talks with a manufacturer whose delivery terms are EXW (ex work, freight collect ). I'd like to get some samples (jewellery) and wondered if anyone could recommend a Freight Forwarder? It's from China to the UK.

Hi,

I am trying to list my first product (brand new seller) - have found a product by the EAN code and it comes up with the wrong manufacturer - 5036889026065 - this says it's a TIMCO product. Whilst TIMCO sell this product, it is actually manufactured by Timloc, who we actually get this product from.

We do also sell from TIMCO so the verification isn't an issue on that side, but the information is incorrect. How do I go about this?

For reference TIMCO product page - (their website) /LOCIW50BB-timloc-invisiweep-wall-weep-blue-black-iw50bb

Timloc product page - (their website) /products/invisiweep/

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF PRINTERS!!
by Seller_9idPMYuN5lTTl
Amazon replied

Hello all,

For years I was using a cheap £40 HP printer to print my amazon FNSKU barcode labels. It largely worked but did have issues and so I thought I'd upgrade.

I print on A4 paper which has 21 barcode labels per sheet.

I then bought a Brother printer which was useless, and since then I have bought an Epson EcoTank which is even more useless! I'm so tired of these printers. The Epson was recommended as a good printer of labels but yet it jams so frequently.

Thermal printers are not an option for me for a number of reasons I won't get into.

I was just wondering and praying really that someone could recommend me a decent regular printer for this?

Thank you :)

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone can clarify this for me. I currently use Royal Mail 24 and Royal Mail 48 services to fulfill my Amazon orders. As you know, these aren’t fully tracked services, but they do provide delivery confirmation when the parcel is delivered (a barcode scan at delivery).

My question is — if I dispatch an order using Royal Mail 24/48 with delivery confirmation, and later a customer opens an A-Z Guarantee claim saying the item wasn’t received, how is this handled by Amazon’s system?

Since the decision process is largely automated (AI-based, not human-reviewed initially), and these services aren’t classed as ‘tracked’, would the AI still side with the customer even if I can provide the delivery confirmation scan?

Would appreciate hearing from other sellers who’ve been in this situation — or if there’s an official Amazon position on using services like Royal Mail 24/48 for fulfilling orders and how it affects A-Z claims.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

We’re a new seller using Amazon FBA in Germany, and we feel completely lost and frustrated. 😞

Our listings are live, our products are real (we're the brand owner, manufacturer AND distributor), we offer one of the lowest prices in our category, and we even went the extra mile to pay off our balance early and subscribed to the Professional Plan globally… all to be sure our account is 100% healthy.

And yet – our products are NOT eligible for the Featured Offer. No explanation from Amazon. Nothing. Just a dead end.

The only issue we can think of? A single FBA shipment error (box too heavy) marked as a "safety issue." The system says this defect should auto-remove within 48h… but it's been way longer, and still sitting at 100%. Could this be the reason? No one tells us.

We're sitting on stock that we invested heavily in. We can’t sell. We can’t advertise. We're brand new and already feel punished. Is this normal? Can anyone relate or advise?

Feeling bamboozled and a little hopeless right now. 😔
