How To Add a Product On Amazon WITHOUT a Product ID

Here's How To Add a Product On Amazon WITHOUT a Product ID. Many Amazon FBA sellers believe you have to purchase a UPC/EAN for each product and variation you have. However, they are unaware that you can apply for a GTIN Exemption or Global Trade Item Number Exemption to get around this. If you don't mind selling a product with a generic brand, you're in luck.

You have no idea how much this video just opened up more opportunities for me. I've been selling on Amazon for about 8 years but high volume for the past 2 years. I had so many issues with adding products that had a UPC code on the product already but most times would run into some issue. THANK YOU for making this video. I'm about to pay off my house in 10 years and not 30. lol

[@melmargar1080]

Thank you SO MUCH for making this video. I just lost time with Amazon Support on approving my UPC codes which were from GS1 but after another company's name (different GS1 Prefix which wasn't registered for selling in Europe). Following your instructions, I open the whole category for the seller and list all 12 products. Thanks for your incredibly important work! this simple!

You make things so simple my friend, thank you. With your videos i learned to sell on amazon 😃🤩

[@ayoolatoye9812]

Josh, I cant thank you enough! I spent 2 days trying to figure this out, turns out putting my brand name in the product listing instead of Generic was the problem. Followed your video and had it done in 2 minutes. You're the man!!!

[@DebtToDollars]

Glad it helped!

[@armaanchanana]

Can you have a Brand name that's not Trademarked, and still list your products under the Generic brand?

I am new to Amazon , why is everything a secret ? Why can’t they have instructions how to list for new sellers it’s ridiculous

Hi, thank you for your video. Yesterday I watched the video that I can buy GTIN and enter its number instead of UPC for listing. Is it right?

[@Mr.aliahsan]

Thanks Alot.. Very useful information.. Thumbs Up bro..

[@creatures6344]

You're great sir, one thing I'm worried about is I got logo on my product but I haven't regester or have a trademark. Do I have to use generic or simply my brand name? Thank you

[@lodiedodie2336]

So what do you give your seller to make sure your product is identified by Amazon once it gets to the factory. Do you use the number generated by Amazon?

[@vanessagalleguillos-zv5kl]

Hi ! I followed the steps and applied for the GTIN and got approved, but my next question is , I’m doing FBM at the moment. Will I still be able to do gtin? And also I bought products and I scanned the sku it’s the same product but different packaging can I still list under that or what do you recommend? Should I just make a new listing? I’m doing arbitrage at the moment and all the videos I see as fbm are just listing off the products already listed . I’d really love your advice and insight!

[@ahmadgul5791]

Thank you sir as usual Q: When I upload photos in image menu, amazon don’t display the images that I have uploaded, why amazon is displaying different images

[@EK-mx3mf]

hello! thank your for your help!i still didnt understand well! If I want to brand my product from manufacture which i have not trademark it yet ,becouse i want to test the product first, do i need the UPC barcode to list the item with my brand ? or i can list it without product ID?

[@TFresh]

Thank you for relieving my headache

[@veem3522]

[@miraboruk5144]

Hi. So the exemption has nothing to do if you have a registered brand or not? Meaning, let’s say I want to do private label but didn’t register it yet, can I go ahead and get a gs1 code and register with Amazon? Or better to get an exemption and add it without the code ?

[@dariusldn1967]

Hi, once you add your product under the generic brand name. How do you get it seen by the masses and increase sales?

[@miriamdaifallah8955]

Hi Josh, I have a question about GTIN exemption. I have one brand but different shapes and colors .Do I have to have a GTIN exemption for each shape and color even if they are the same product.? THANKS.

[@BiggiesProductions]

Very informative Video 👍🏼

[@laithalhalmi8373]

Quick question, my product is already listed but I figured out that it has no barcode so I put generic as you did but they are telling me to add a product. Should I delete it and then add another one or what you suggest?

[@_entrepreneur.x2370]

Do you have to buy the barcodes or can you just get a printer and print the barcodes that Amazon give you online?

[@steph-se2yw]

Hi Dept to ! Do you have a video explaining the process of sending from China. Especially for all the barcodes fnscu ; upc etc.. where to put it or which your supplier has to put on your product/box shipping box Thanks

[@shreyavyas386]

Thanks for this video, actually I have received GTIN exemption approval but still not able to add products(asking for product ID). Can you suggest any solution?

[@irfannayan9758]

For example if im creating a new listing on amazon , i put 3 different types of advent calender and 1 christmas basket as a bundle and add the item as generic > i can do that right ? I m not a registered brand just doing RA, However there is lot of potential product i see that i can not do anything about

Hi Josh, I am trying to resell a product, which is not listed in Amazon catalogue. The UPC and EAN codes have been verified with GS1 database, but still cannot add in Amazon catalogue. If I apply for GS1 exemption for a brand name it gives error code 5461. Can I mention brand as generic and apply for GS1 exemption for the same product? Thanks

[@lumweu23]

I get the brand has to be listed as generic. Can you add your company as manufacturer instead of Generic when listing?

[@Swaglending__]

thank you so much

[@thomaschan6898]

Thanks , Josh. May I ask you what is the different between fill in the brand " Generic " and : " N/A" ?

[@DebtToDollars]

Good question! There really isn’t a difference except that “N/A” won’t show up as a brand on your listing. If you put “generic” you’ll see that as your brand. It’s up to you if you want to sell without any brand name appearing on your listing or just sell it as generic so your customer knows.

[@KP-dd8jl]

Very helpful

[@Argon369]

hey Josh buddy thanks i am registering my account but its asking if your products have a UPC code can i select yes and then apply for GTIN exemption or start from NO '

[@darrenmacdonald9351]

Why when I type "Generic" into Brand/Publisher do I get the error : "1 of 1 Brands are not eligible for exemption The brand you have provided requires a barcode (GTIN/UPC/EAN/ISBN) to list on Amazon. If you do not have a barcode for the product, you will find it on the packaging and/or back cover of your item." Any help appreciated

[@alar2829]

hello sir, kindly explain what is the difference between UPC, FNSKU and which ones do i really need and which ones i can get away with ,, someone told me i can apply for GTIN Exemption, but what does that mean . I really want my manufacturer or Amazon FBA to take care of the codes if any . sorry for the silliest question i asked.. I'm brand new in this business so kind of need help before i take each step

[@Diegobandid0]

Hi, Im eligible for gtin exemption my issue is how can I get manufacturer part number?

IF I PUT THIS FREE GTIN DO I GET MULTIPLES FOR THE DIFFERENT SIZES,COLORS? AND HOW DO I GIVE THOSE NUMBERS TO THE MANUFACTURER IF THERES NO FILES FOR THEM TO DOWNLOAD OT AND PUT ON YOUR PACKAGING?

[@robotello]

Hey we are based in uk, And trying to sell some products from us (as well fro other countries). We have run into an issue with listing branded products. Most of the times we can’t list product that are listed in USA using same ASIN number. But we can’t create a new listing too as we get brand copywrite issue and listing get removed. But 2ce we did manage to create listing anyway using editing asin. And a bit confused now why sometimes we manage to create listings and how to create listing for products that are not listed on Amazon yet. Would be great if you could shed a light on it. Thank you in advance

[@akh253]

Thanks again for the video. I followed your instruction and after a few days of struggle finally I managed to publish my products ,but when I view my product on Amazon, it says unavailable . Also when I publish my images they don't show on my thumbnails. If you could answer that I would appreciate that . Thanks again for the great videos.

[@TheGlamorousRealtor]

Did you ever figure this issue out?

[@yosamin88]

what if i want to add variants of the generic product? can you make an example video? For the variants he wants a stock number and an article number, which I don't have. I can't complete the offer. I am also activated for the office supplies category.

[@keelywilliams104]

So if you do this, do you still have to put a fnsku on the product or are you exempt from putting that on as well?

[@DebtToDollars]

If you're sending your products to a fulfillment center, then you still need to apply the FNSKU labels on your product. Amazon will generate these for you.

[@mamabeauty4703]

Hi really nice video i just ask to any one i have 3 product its listed in amazon but i neeed 1 group photo to sell but how i add and how i have to usr ean code plz any help here thanks

[@JulianSanchez-er7ue]

Hi, I was wondering if you would recommend this over actually buying upcs for my products. My products are handmade

[@DebtToDollars]

If you're going to be selling long term, I recommend branding your products and purchasing a UPC. This tutorial is really only for people trying to avoid purchasing UPCs and don't mind selling a generic product short term.
