I have 1 item which I plan to buy a UPC code from GS1 so that I can sell my product online…my problem is when I purchase the UPC number from GS1, where can print them for lowest cost? I have an HP Color Laser jet but not sure if this is a good option for me to print myself. Any suggestions? TIA

Is this really a thing? Random sellers can just sell on my listing anytime they want?

Someone sold on my listing for a full day, and I ended up buying the rest of their stock just to get them to leave the listing, and I got the package today and its all counterfeit, now im going to get tons of bad messages on my legitimate listing that the product doesn’t work.

How do I stop this??? How can I make it that only I can sell on it??

Did they fake some brand authorization documents or something, or can anyone really sell on anyone’s listing anytime they want?

And now I can’t even report their listing because they are no longer selling on it.

It’s common knowledge that being completely out of stock hurts your ranking.

But what about when your stock gets closer and closer to 0? For example, when you only have 6 units left? I was selling pretty well for 5 days (10 units sold, 10 units sold, 8 units sold, 4 units sold, 8 units sold), but then I made zero sales for the last few days as I have only 6 units in inventory left. I wonder if the reason why I made zero sales the last few days is because I only have 6 units left??

Amazon rejected my Brand Registry saying my documents “did not satisfy the requirements to confirm brand association or ownership” and asked for proof of arrangement with the manufacturer + a recent invoice (not proforma) which I already did submit when I filled out the application.

For those who had this happen, what did you submit again to fix it and get approved?

After working across multiple brands, I’ve seen the same pattern again and again.

Everyone focuses on ads and creatives.

But growth actually breaks because of:

– Poor catalog hygiene
– Forecasting gaps
– Inventory timing misalignment
– Ownership confusion between teams
– Listing inconsistency

One brand I worked with kept increasing ad spend but conversions stayed flat.

The real issue?

Content inconsistency and stock flow gaps.

Once fixed, sales improved without increasing ad budget.

Biggest lesson: scaling isn’t about adding more tactics — it’s about removing friction.

Curious to hear — what’s been the hardest operational challenge for you lately?
