Skipping: – This SKU has been listing on Amazon

This article explains why this message appears when sending a product feed in Creation mode, what it means, and how to resolve it.

Error message

When sending a feed in Creation mode, the module may display the following message:

“Skipping: – This SKU has been listing on Amazon

What does this mean?

This message indicates that the SKU already exists on your Amazon Seller account.

Amazon does not allow creating a product with a SKU that already exists on your Amazon Seller account.

The module detects that this SKU is already present on Amazon and skips the creation process.

Is this an error?

❌ No, this is not a blocking error.

It is an informational message indicating that:

• The product already exists on Amazon
• The product cannot be created again
• Creation mode is therefore skipped for this SKU

Common situations where this happens

This message usually appears when:

• The SKU was already created previously on Amazon
• The product was deleted recently from Amazon Seller Central

What should you do?

Case 1: The product already exists on Amazon

✔ No action required

If the product already exists:

• Do not use Creation mode
• Use Matching mode or Offer / Price / Stock updates instead

Case 2: The product was deleted from Amazon

If the product was deleted from Amazon, the SKU may still be present in Amazon’s inventory data.

In this case, you must update the inventory listing data used by the module.

Required action

Run the Inventory Listing cron task:

• Allows the module to correctly detect whether a SKU truly exists or not

After running this cron:

1. Wait for the task to complete
2. Retry sending the product feed in Creation mode
