- Reference 140 Error- “You have problems with your Seller Account. You cannot register your Amazon Brand Registry account with these credentials. Please go to Seller Central or contact Seller Support to update your Seller Account. After your Seller Account is active, you will be able to register at Amazon Brand Registry.”
You are receiving this error because of either of the below two reasons:
- Your current account status is not normal. Hence, you are not eligible to enroll a new brand in Amazon Brand Registry at this time. Please contact Seller Support to address your selling account status issue before reapplying.
- If your current account status is normal, then the other accounts linked to your ID are not in normal status. In this case, please find out the account having issues and then Please contact Seller Support.
- Error message “You indicated you are a new customer, but an account already exists with the email abc@xyz.com”
You are receiving this error because there is an existing account associated with the email address you are using to create a new Brand Registry account. You may have a Seller Central or Vendor Central account, but you are not logged in with that account while creating your Brand Registry account. Using your Seller Central or Vendor Central account credentials when creating your Brand Registry account will ensure those accounts are properly connected to your Brand Registry account and benefit from Brand Registry features.
- You are already in Brand Registry but receive a disclaimer: “If you are planning on creating a Seller Central account with the credentials you used to log in, please create that account first. Once completed, please come back to Brand Registry to enroll your brand, using the same credentials. If not, you may continue with Brand Registry enrollment."
You are receiving this warning message because of two reasons:
- You do not have a Seller or Vendor account created. Please create an account.
- If you already have a Seller or Vendor account created, abandon this registration, create a new Brand Registry account while logged in to your Seller Central/Vendor Central account. You can also complete your brand enrollment using the email you used to create a Brand Registry account. After you are enrolled, contact Brand Registry Support to add your Seller Central or Vendor Central account as a user to your Brand Registry account.
- You are unable to apply for Brand Registry because of the error “There was a problem while creating your brand application” or you are already a part of Brand Registry but there is no brand record and the system asks you to enroll a new brand.
This is a catch-all error message for any unexpected problem that arose while creating the application. Please try again after 15 minutes. If the issue persists, you can reach out to the Amazon Brand Registry team to resolve the issue: http://www.amazon-brand-registry.com/eng/contact_us.
- You are on the page titled “Intellectual Property” and receive the error message “The trademark registration number you entered is in the incorrect format. Correct USPTO format is six or seven digits long and should include numbers only. The trademark registration number can be located under the ‘US Registration Number’ field on the USPTO trademark record. Please ensure you are correctly entering the trademark registration number before trying again. If your trademark was recently approved, it may require up to 48 hours for the change to be reflected on this site.”
You are receiving this error for one of two reasons:
- You are trying to add the serial number of the trademark instead of the registration number. Please ensure you are correctly entering the trademark registration number.
- You are receiving this error because your trademark status is still not in the “registered” state or your trademark was recently approved. However, it may require up to 48 hours for the change to be reflected on this site. Also ensure, you are entering the correct trademark registration number and selecting the correct trademark office.
- You are on the page titled “Intellectual Property” and receive the following error message: “The trademark registration number you entered cannot be found for the trademark office you selected.
