Searching amazon.de with that value gives a successful result. However, from my reading, a UPC value in the US should probably 12 digits. An EAN value in Europe should be 13 digits. None of the formats I looked at have 11 digits, like the value you had.

During an update by title, if the amazon search returns multiple results,
none of which have a match score high enough to determine which one is the
correct one to update, then that dialog pops up to allow you to choose. If
none of those are what you are updating, then it looks like Amazon can't
tell.

Just trying to figure out what Amazon considers a value ItemID/UPC/EAN. It
should be eiterh 12 or 13 digits, but some of the 10-digit values work. Very
confusing...
