Do Bar Codes Talk barcodes work on Amazon?

Yes. Bar Codes Talk has been selling legitimate barcodes since 1996. The vast majority of customers list successfully on Amazon without issues. Most listing problems are related to Amazon's Brand Registry system, category restrictions, or the Brand field in listings, not the barcode itself.

Why does Amazon mention GS1 or GEPIR when I try to list?

GS1 is the organization that originally issues barcode prefixes. GEPIR is GS1's lookup database. When Amazon checks a UPC against GEPIR, it finds the original prefix owner, not necessarily the current user. This is normal for resold barcodes and doesn't indicate a problem.

What is Amazon Brand Registry?

Amazon Brand Registry gives brand owners control over their product listings. If you're Brand Registered, you have more control but also face stricter requirements. For private-label sellers not enrolled in Brand Registry, using 'Generic' or 'Unbranded' in the Brand field is usually the solution.

What is GTIN Exemption?

GTIN Exemption allows you to list products on Amazon without a UPC/EAN. This is typically for handmade, private-label, or unbranded products without manufacturer barcodes. You apply through Seller Central.

What is the difference between UPC and EAN?

UPC is a 12-digit barcode primarily used in the US and Canada. EAN is a 13-digit barcode used internationally (Europe, Australia, Asia). A UPC can be converted to EAN by adding a leading zero. Amazon US accepts both formats.

Amazon 正在检查 GS1 记录。我们可以帮忙。

"Registered to another company"

转售条形码的正常情况。

Brand Registry

Amazon 政策限制。

Error 8572 / 5461

"Codes do not match the products you are trying to list"

此错误通常与 Brand/Product Identity 字段有关，而不是条形码本身。

先试这些

检查 “Brand” 字段。必须与商品的实际品牌完全一致
自有品牌商品请输入 “Generic” 或 “Unbranded”，而不是公司名称
确认该 UPC 尚未分配给另一件商品（在 Amazon 上搜索）
尝试在限制更少的相关类目上架

发给 Amazon Seller Support 的消息

I purchased this UPC from Bar Codes Talk, an authorized barcode reseller with 28+ years in business. The UPC is legitimate and unused. I'm receiving error 8572 but believe this is a Brand/Product Identity field issue, not a problem with the barcode itself. Please advise on the correct Brand field entry for my product.

I am receiving error code 8572 when attempting to list my product. Details: • UPC: [YOUR UPC HERE] • Product: [YOUR PRODUCT NAME] • Brand field entry: [WHAT YOU ENTERED] • Category: [CATEGORY] I purchased this UPC from Bar Codes Talk, an authorized reseller operating for 28+ years. The barcode is legitimate and has not been used previously. I believe this error relates to the Brand/Product Identity field requirements rather than the UPC itself. I have tried entering "Generic" and "Unbranded" as alternatives. Please advise: 1. What should I enter in the Brand field for this product? 2. Is this category restricted to Brand Registry members only? 3. Would a GTIN exemption be appropriate for my situation? Thank you for your assistance.

错误消息

GS1 / Certificate

“Not recognized by GS1” 或证书请求

Amazon 引用的是 GS1 数据库查询。如有需要，我们可以提供文件。

重要： Amazon 常常引用显示原始公司前缀所有者的 GS1 查询，这可能看起来像不一致。如果 Amazon 要求文件，我们可以为你的购买提供支持证书。把截图和 UPC/GTIN 发给我们。

含义

GS1 管理条形码前缀。当条形码被合法转售时，原始前缀所有者信息仍留在 GS1 数据库中。这是正常的，不影响有效性。

先试这些

不必慌。你的条形码是合法的
检查 Brand 字段并尝试 “Generic” 或 “Unbranded”
如果 Amazon 要求文件，请联系我们
使用下面的消息模板回复 Amazon

说明： 我们无法编辑 GS1 所有权记录，也无法把你列为 GS1 前缀所有者。GS1 所有权完全由 GS1 控制。不过，转售条形码可用于商业用途，是合法的。

发给 Amazon Seller Support 的消息

I purchased this UPC from Bar Codes Talk, a legitimate barcode reseller operating for 28+ years. The GS1 database shows the original prefix owner, which is normal for resold barcodes. I can provide a certificate of purchase from my supplier if needed. Please advise on next steps.

I understand you're seeing a GS1 lookup that shows a different company name for my UPC prefix. This is expected and does not indicate a problem with the barcode. Explanation: • I purchased this UPC from Bar Codes Talk, an established barcode reseller operating since 1996 • When barcodes are legitimately resold, the original GS1 prefix owner information remains in the GS1 database • This is standard practice in the barcode industry and does not affect the validity or usability of the code • The barcode has been assigned exclusively to me and has not been used elsewhere I can provide: • Certificate of purchase from Bar Codes Talk • Proof of my exclusive rights to this UPC Please let me know what documentation you need and I will provide it promptly. Thank you.

需要文件？

把 UPC 和 Amazon 请求的截图发给我们。我们会提供证书。

所有权

“Registered to another company” 或名称不一致

GS1 显示原始前缀所有者。这对合法转售的条形码是预期情况。

含义

GS1 最初签发 UPC 前缀时，会分配给特定公司。当这些条形码被合法转售时，原始所有权信息仍留在 GS1 数据库中。

先试这些

请理解这是正常的。GS1 查询显示的是原始前缀持有人
检查 Brand 字段是否与现有注册品牌冲突
