What we check on amazon.de

  • EU Responsible Person named on the listing, with contact details reachable by the consumer, required under GPSR since 13 December 2024
  • LUCID / VerpackG packaging registration signals, now part of the marketplace EPR-verification requirement in force since 12 August 2026
  • Backend search-terms byte budget for German keywords: umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and ß cost 2 bytes each in UTF-8, so a German keyword list can quietly run out of the 250-byte cap before it looks full
  • Title, bullet and description character limits for Amazon.de
  • Image count, resolution and main-image requirements
  • A+ content presence, counted only toward Content, never toward SEO, since A+ is not indexed by Amazon search

Frequently asked

Is GPSR compliance mandatory on Amazon.de?+

Yes. The General Product Safety Regulation, Reg (EU) 2023/988, has applied to almost every non-food consumer product sold to EU consumers since 13 December 2024, and that includes every listing on Amazon.de.

What EPR registration do I need for Germany?+

Packaging placed on the German market must be registered in LUCID under the Verpackungsgesetz (VerpackG) and licensed with a dual system. Electricals need WEEE registration under ElektroG, and products with batteries carry their own registration duties.

What happens if my LUCID registration is missing?+

Amazon checks for a valid LUCID number for sales into Germany; without it, listings can be deactivated, and EPR non-compliance penalties in Germany reach up to €100,000.

Does the free scan confirm my actual LUCID number?+

The free scan flags whether EPR signals are visible on the public listing. A connected audit reads the compliance flags Amazon holds on your account for a definitive read.

Is the Amazon.de scan free?+

Yes. The score and every flagged issue are free, on every plan, forever. Connecting your account and AI-generated fixes are paid features.
