External product ID HELP! i have a product which has a barcode on there but it won't match up any ASIN EAN UPC or GTIN can i use somebody elses?
Hi there new to amazon here,
I have a product which has a barcode on there but it won't match up any ASIN EAN UPC or GTIN can i use somebody else's?
The product is a generic product from ali express, not someone else's brand. I can see multiple of the same item for sale on Amazon but they all have different EAN and or UPC numbers. Can someone please explain how i can obtain one or both of these numbers so i can list my item. I don't want to copy someones elses number as im unsure if it's even allowed and don't want my account banned before ive even started.
Thank you in advance

You cannot just list on another listing randomly. That listing is likely to have a brand on it, and if you list on it - you are likely to be hit with a counterfeit claim or similar.
If you have a barcode - and that isn't returning a listing you should be creating a new listing for a product not sold on Amazon EVEN if there are similar products on the site that look the same. The brand would need to be set as Generic.
