Our customers are successfully listing thousands of products with our barcode numbers on Amazon.com<\/a>, Amazon,de<\/a>, Amazon.co.uk and other Amazon sites. You can see partial list of products here.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0You can purchase barcode numbers here<\/a> <\/strong>and barcode packages including images here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We try to keep this information up-to-date, but since\u00a0Amazon\u2019s policies concerning barcodes continue to change and they are not the same across the different Amazon sites, it is best to check directly with them to be absolutely certain of the most current requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n Amazon requires the use of barcode numbers (13 digit EAN or 12 digit UPC) as unique product identifiers. They also assign their own unique identification numbers called<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ASIN<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>(Amazon Standard Identification Numbers).<\/span><\/p>\n In the past anyone could list a product using any barcode number, as long as that barcode number wasn\u2019t already being used for another product on Amazon. This caused problems to legitimate sellers, who could find their legitimate numbers stolen and used by someone else on Amazon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In late 2016, an Amazon Executive joined the board of governors of GS1 and Amazon began tightening their policies in order to clean up the Amazon database. Unfortunately there are still legacy barcode numbers in use on Amazon that conflict with the numbers we own and sell. To avoid problems with this, we have been implementing increasingly thorough searches of the Amazon databases to find these fraudulent legacy numbers<\/strong>. We have used the Amazon APIs to search currently listed products, but this method does not allow for deep enough search of Amazon databases and has had limited success. We sought advice from Amazon support, but they were unable to assist. In response our tech-gurus developed sophisticated search software that goes far beyond traditional Amazon search options. We now operate a dedicated server that is searching Amazon’s databases for all numbers (including unlisted ones) before we sell them. If we find any of these historic fraudulent listings using our numbers, we delete these numbers and do not sell them<\/strong>. Our proprietary software is much more effective than the Amazon APIs, and searches much deeper than any other barcode seller.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As mentioned above, thousands of products are currently listed on Amazon using our barcodes<\/a><\/strong> and our customers are successful in listing new products with our barcode numbers.\u00a0We presume this is because if Amazon decides to check our barcode numbers they show up in the GS1 database thus proving the number is of GS1 origin (even though the gepir database listing is not up-to-date and shows only the original licensee). We are able to provide legal documentation to our customers, which links their numbers back to the original GS1-licensee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally our customers can list product details alongside their barcode numbers at\u00a0www.barcodesdatabase.org<\/a>, which helps to further prove to Amazon that used the barcode numbers are legitimate.<\/p>\n We do not know how Amazon’s barcodes policy will develop in the future, but we hope they will keep allowing sellers to list products using legitimate and verifiable barcode numbers like the ones we sell. It is possible that Amazon becomes more restrictive, and stop accepting our barcodes in the future, but we hope this will not be the case.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Listing on amazon can be at times difficult. There are several specific error codes that may occur during the Amazon listing process. These are commonly related to filling the \u2018Brand\u2019 field during product listing.<\/p>\n Fortunately these often easily solved.
