Camron James hey camron I posted a question in your comments. Thank you

[@ismail6098]

I Camron i have no brand i applied for gtin excemtpion for category electonics after it gets approoved exsctly on your video can i just put all information? I guess I cannot save after it. Can you help me please?

[@JUANMA24202]

Hi Cameron , when you apply for the GTIN exception do you still need to buy a bard code for when you sent your products from China to the warehouse Amazon? Or Amazon will provide that for send to the manufacture

[@rebeccaclaussell9852]

@Camron James this is a lifesaver no one in the groups that I’m in knows really anything about this, this is sooo helpful in sooo many ways :))) my question is eventually you can put barcodes on ?

[@CIMAmotor]

Hello Camron, when I fill my form in it also has a section called 'part number.' Can you please advise on this?

[@dasurfengine1492]

One tip you should add - when filling out Amazon's template to request a GTIN exemption, you need to make it look like a professional memo with letterhead and a "seal" or company logo at the top of it. I went through rounds and rounds with Amazon "support" until I finally got my Dad's trademarked bike seat approved for GTIN exemption, and this is after even getting a UPC to begin with as when I signed up I thought they were required but at least I don't have the $50 annual fee anymore. Wish I would have found this video when I was trying earlier to get the GTIN exemption, this video is way more helpful then Amazon "support" ever was - they should be paying you for putting out clear instructional material - ha!

[@CamronJames]

Hi Camron, thanks for the video. So for a new seller, you would suggest to get gtin exemption with generic brand? i would like to try a product with only 24 items...however let say they are all sold out and i'd like to replenish more, should i create a new listing with a new brand or just continue with the old listing with generic brand? hope to get your reply...if you conduct a course, i am very much interested

[@datavisualizer1492]

Thanks , I thought applying for exemption is complicated, never knew it is this straightforward to list Generic item. I almost bought UPC for hundred of pounds, even after months of research. This video saved me.

Hi Camron. Great video! Since most t-shirts are packaged in poly bags without labeling, how would you suggest taking pics of t-shirt packaging when applying for GTIN exemption?

[@CamronJames]

I would take one out and add photos of the branding on the tag or printed on the shirt in anyway, otherwise just try the packaging but could take a few tries :/

Ok this video had EXACTLY what I needed....apparently the one thing I was missing was the fact that there was no star (asterisk) next to the product ID after I got approved for exemption.

Hi Camron, great videos! I have been approved for the GTIN exemption, but I still have the asterisks for Product ID & ID type on Vital Info Tab!! Obviously I can't save and finish without getting past this step. It will disappear when I click on variations (we sell 2 colors) but then I get the error when I can't fill the Product ID & ID type under each child variation.

I don't have a link in my approval email either. HELP!!! TIA
