Barcodes for eBay
Barcode numbers for use on eBay can be used for selling in other online or retail stores as well. Each unique eBay listing needs its own unique barcode number. You will need the same amount of barcode numbers as the number of listed products. Choose one of the products below according to your barcodes for eBay needs – number only or number plus barcode image:
Product labels are mandatory for certain eBay categories
When listing in the following categories, sellers must provide product identifiers – information typically found on labels or bar codes such as brand name, manufacturer part number and global trade item number (GTIN). These identifiers help buyers find exactly what they’re looking for and make it easier for search engines to match items to appropriate queries.
- New listings and items
- Re-listed items
- Revised listings
- Items listed as manufacturer refurbished
- Existing listings when changes are made to title, category, GTIN, item specifics, or item condition
- ‘Good Till Cancelled’ (new, relisted, and automatically relisted items)
- Manufacturer-refurbished
When you include product identifiers you can also benefit from:
- Increased visibility in eBay deals, bargains, and other promotions.
- Enhanced product search on eBay, off eBay and on mobile devices allows shoppers to find the products they’re looking for more easily.
- More robust listing information and item specifics, which are included automatically by matching your item with a product from the eBay catalog.
- More accurate pricing guidance when you list your items.
- Trending price alert in view item when your listings are priced lower than the trending price and include product identifiers.
