This is a great educational video - thank you! Is there a way to list your item without making it "live" so to speak in order to obtain the codes you need to send to your supplier for shipping etc?

@@CrescentKao That's what I would have thought but I can see the listing on Amazon outside of my Sellers Central Account which makes me think the listing is live!?

[@fs11047]

This is massively helpful! Thank you so much - really appreciated. I had one query please - if you are selling a PL item which comes bundled with another accessory eg for example if you are selling say a bag as your main item and you bundle it with a purse in the same package as a freebie almost, then under 'Number of Items' what should you add - 1 item still or 2? The explanation when you hover over the question mark states 'Provide the total number of identical items in the selling unit to the customer'?

[@CrescentKao]

I'm glad you found it helpful. They're just getting one main item, so put 1. Don't count the bonus items.

Hi, if you don't want your listing to go live, should you click on Close Listing from the options under manage inventory? Also so that the honeymoon period doesn't start. Thanks!

[@CrescentKao]

Hello. Correct but the honeymoon period will still start. As soon as you have inventory in stock, the honeymood period starts.

[@fs11047]

​@CrescentKao Thanks v much. However, I don't have anything in stock. I just need to create the shipping plan to get the FNSKU. The listing is already showing up as out of stock/inactive so maybe I don't need to close the listing?

[@AbdullahAhmed-q3g7c]

Hey Crescent, is it better to start with multiple variations of the same product or stick to one variation? if I start with variations, do I need different UPCs for the other variations or do they all come under one UPC? thank you

[@CrescentKao]

Hello. It's best to start with one variation first. Choose the most popular variation. Prove that it sells well, then scale. This goes over barcodes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aouwY32hhbR7pKc

[@1egosumquisum1]

Hi Crescent, I'm a big fan of the content you create, so thanks again for putting together such a useful piece. I just had one quick question: will making changes to the first list we create (like adding photos, EBC or a title for the canonical) have a negative impact on how Amazon displays our content? Or should we make sure we get everything right the first time around?

[@gilen2111]

Hey Crescent! Thank you so much for this very informative video. It's really helpful! Does submitting the listing will have Amazon check it and then say what documents or certificates will I need to submit? It's worrisome that we might create our products and try to send only to find out that Amazon won't accept it unless we can provide certain papers which will likely require time to produce and then we'll miss the season for our product. Will it also require to create a dummy shipment? Thanks!

@@CrescentKao Thank you Crescent. But I'm trying to get into a category that's not restricted, but saw people complaining that Amazon eventually did ask them to provide SDS and Hazmat.

Hi Crescent, I have watched many of your videos and they have been really helpful, your information is great! I am working on a private label product and I have noticed a lot of products that have the Transparency QR code, one product I looked at seemed to have a sticker with the Transparency QR code together with FNSKU code on one sticker. I haven’t heard you talk about Transparency codes but if you could do a video about them like if you recommend them and where do you get them or apply for them. I’m sure you explain what these codes are all about. Thank you!

Hello, I'm glad you've been finding value in the content! Transparency barcodes are helpful to prevent counterfeit products especially if you have issues with hijackers. It's available to sellers that are brand registered.
