By JisuSell Team
TLDR β€” Quick Summary
  • Main image must be white background, 800x800+, no watermarks β€” #1 rejection reason
  • Titles cannot contain promotional words (best/cheapest) or unauthorized brand names
  • Brand authorization must be approved in Seller Lab (3-5 days) before listing
  • Category must match actual product attributes; wrong category = instant rejection
  • Pricing far below or above market triggers anomaly detection
  • Restricted items (alcohol, tobacco, etc.) under Middle East regulations cannot be listed

8 Common Rejection Reasons

# Reason Symptom Fix
1 Non-compliant main image Not white background, under 800x800, contains watermarks/logos/text Create pure white background image at 2000x2000, remove all non-product elements
2 Prohibited words in title Contains best, cheapest, sale, discount, or unauthorized brand names Remove all promotional and unauthorized brand words; use objective descriptions
3 Brand not authorized Brand not submitted or not approved in Seller Lab Submit Brand Authorization Letter and trademark certificate in Seller Lab Brand page
4 Wrong category Product attributes don't match selected category (e.g., phone case in phone category) Refer to Noon's category tree and select the correct category and subcategory
5 Abnormal pricing Price far below market or far above reasonable range, triggering anomaly detection Reference comparable products' pricing; ensure price covers cost + logistics + commission
6 Duplicate listing A product page with the same EAN already exists; system rejects new page creation Search for existing product and use Add Offer (follow-sell) instead of creating new listing
7 Restricted product Product falls under Middle East regulatory restrictions (alcohol, tobacco, supplements) Cannot list. Switch to compliant products or obtain special permits where applicable
8 Non-compliant description Description contains HTML code, external links, false claims, or competitor comparisons Use plain text only; remove all links, code, and false promises

How to Fix Each Issue

1
Fix main image
Use pure white background (RGB 255,255,255), recommended 2000x2000 pixels (minimum 800x800). Product should fill 85%+ of the image area. No watermarks, logos, text, or borders. Secondary images can show usage scenarios but still no watermarks.
2
Clean prohibited words from title
Remove all promotional words (best/cheapest/sale/discount/free shipping) and superlatives (#1/top selling/guaranteed). Title should only contain: Brand + Product Name + Key Attributes (color/size/material).
3
Submit brand authorization
In Seller Lab's Brand page, submit: Brand Authorization Letter, trademark registration certificate, and business license. Review takes 3-5 business days. For unbranded products, select "Generic" or "Unbranded".
4
Select correct category
Browse Noon Seller Lab's category tree level by level to find the most specific matching category. When unsure, search for similar products to see which category they're listed under.
5
Adjust pricing
Search for comparable products on Noon and reference their price range. Ensure your price covers cost + logistics + commission, and isn't more than 2x the market average.
6
Handle duplicate listings
If the EAN already exists, search for the existing product page and select Add Offer (follow-sell) instead of creating a new product. This lets you list your price on the existing page.
7
Verify product compliance
Check Noon's restricted products list to confirm your item is allowed. Some categories (supplements, electronics) require additional certifications. Contact Noon support if unsure.
8
Fix description content
Use plain text to describe product features and specs. No HTML tags, external links, competitor comparisons, or false claims (like "100% effective"). Keep descriptions factual and accurate.
