UPC Barcode Manager , 3 条评论

I spent $50 on UPC barcodes because the APP advertises "You can also purchase original UPC barcodes which allows you to list your products on popular third-party marketplaces like Amazon, Google Shopping, and Houzz." Amazon would not accept these barcodes. I contacted the apps customer support and they replied "Hi there!

Thanks so much for reaching out. In your specific situation - to be able to use our barcodes on amazon you have to apply for what is called a GTIN exemption.

Here is some more information: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html?itemID=200426310

Please let me know if you have any further questions

Applying for the GTIN exemption eliminates the need for a UPC barcode on Amazon so it is a waste of time and money. In my opinion this is false advertising as the UPC Codes provided don't work to establish your product on Amazon.
$50 down the drain and lesson learned.
