Most trustable source of UPC EAN barcodes for Amazon and ebay
I am just wondering if I should use the UPC barcode for my packaging or the FNSKU barcode? Right now my FNSKU is the same as my ASIN which doesn’t seem right. Any help would be appreciated Note: I am using Amazon UK
Answer: FNSKU goes on the product mate. EAN/ UPC are used to create the listing
Could I please ask for someone’s advice on barcodes for Amazon FBA? Do you use both your GS1 (GTIN-13) and an Amazon FNSKU barcodes on your products when you ship them into an Amazon FBA warehouse? Where exactly do you place both of them – on the product box, on the shipping boxes? Can you incorporate either or both of these barcodes into your customised packaging design when you have your own box design printed? Or do they have to be stuck on as labels? If possible, I would like to include the barcodes on the packaging design because this will save on having to print barcode labels… is that possible?? My understanding is that you need a GS1 (GTIN-13) barcode in order to create an Amazon listing. And then the Amazon FNSKU barcodes allows Amazon to differentiate your product from other sellers as well as organise it in their warehouse. But does this mean that you should put one type of barcode not another or both?
Ansser:
Your understanding in the last paragraph is correct. You need a UPC/EAN barcode to create your listing. This is to tell amazon that this product is valid. Once the listing is made, you no longer need this barcode. You can downloaded your own FNSKU/ASIN barcodes which are specific to your product. This will now need to go on the outer layer of your product packaging. Your can either get it integrated into a packaging design or have it stuck onto the product. Just don’t put 2 barcodes on 1 product!Your shipping boxes are a whole different thing. You will get your barcodes for those when it comes to creating a shipping plan !! So don’t worry bout that yet !
My sale Dropped over 50% in the last few days. my ad is showing on top of the search and ranking is good as well. increased my bids and budget but still very low conversion. My ranking on keywords is good but Amazon is keep rotating my listing from the top 10 to the 2nd page. not getting enough sales during the day but constantly getting sales between 8pm to 10pm only from last few days.Competitors’ BSR is stable. I haven’t changed anything, My price is lower than the competitor’s. over 800 reviews on listing with 4.5 ratings. Has anyone faced this issue before? any solution?
Answer: Very hard to know a direct cause with this information mate.Fortunately 7 days is a short timeframe to worry about ideally we would check over longer timeframes

Answer: I’m using Zebra ZD420. It’s a dream. If you’re doing volume, this machine prints 300+ labels in less than 2 minutes (my estimates). Buy ink rolls from Feed My Zebra. Get 4×6 labels FREE from Royal Mail. That said, we can’t wok out how to go wireless with the Zebra.
I no longer use Alibaba for payments as I’ve been stung recently where they’ve not helped when I received a poorly made product. The supplier I wish to use does not accept PayPal as they’ve had issues withdrawing money. They are suggesting a bank transfer which I’ve refused as it offers me no protection. What other method can I use?
Answer:
Only Alibaba and PayPal have trade guarantee, it is recommended that you can collect samples before placing orders with suppliers, and place bulk orders after samples are satisfied
If this supplier of yours does not support PayPal, then you change a supplier!
Trust has to be on both side. I would never work with a supplier who refuses to work with TA or Paypal. Think about it, if they refuse…how are they conducting business? Either you’re going to be conned or sent rubbish. Propose 50% advance, after receipt of goods you’ll pay the rest! If they don’t, I’d walk away. If it’s an Indian supplier, run!
If you pay via credit card you can have some protection I believe
