Clashing SKU - Nike Slides
Clashing SKU
I am in the process of creating a child listing for nike slides in a size that is not currently listed for sale. When adding products via upload, i receive error 8541, meaning the SKU for this product is already in use by a different size of the same variation. Is there a way to fix this?

Stop where you are. Save yourself a great deal of trouble and don't list Nike.
Nike is one of the brands that routinely patrol Amazon to rid the site of unauthorized sellers. They don't want Nike sold on Amazon.

What @Seller_Hi7wbO2Kbo6bl is telling you is that you are one small step away from being suspended from Amazon permanently.
Unless, of course, by some miracle you have written authorization from Nike to sell their products on Amazon.
You probably need to spend the next two or three months studying Seller U and reading the Forum about all the creative ways that sellers get suspended.
I'll condense it for you --
Here are the NEW rules for selling on the ‘new and improved’ Amazon.
Only you can tell us if you meet the requirements.
The first question is -- Are you authorized IN WRITING by the BRAND to sell their items on Amazon? That means from the BRAND, not some random wholesale source that can NOT authorize anything – they only SELL.
More and more brands have provided a "whitelist" of their approved sellers and if YOU are NOT on the list you will be stopped in your tracks and probably hit with an IP violation.
The second (and probably more important) question is -- Where are you sourcing your products? Are you buying direct from the brand or through an AUTHORIZED wholesale source?
Have you verified with the BRAND that your distributor IS an authorized wholesale distributor for ALL of their products. Some wholesalers are only allowed to distribute portions of a product line.
NOTE – FOR 'GATED' CATEGORIES' DOING RA IS NOT PERMITTED ON AMAZON. PERIOD. If you have to 'apply to sell' you WILL need an INVOICE from an AUTHORIZED distributor and not a receipt.
