You're welcome and thanks for your support, I appreciate it!
really thank you, it is good for beginner
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!
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?
I’m glad you found it helpful! The listing won’t go live until you have inventory in stock.
@@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!?
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?
I've found the answer! It's in the video, thanks Crescent! 😄
You're welcome and I'm glad you figured it out! :)
Thanks dude!!
You’re welcome!
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'?
I'm glad you found it helpful. They're just getting one main item, so put 1. Don't count the bonus items.
@@CrescentKao Thank you! I'm so glad I found your videos - I'm now working my way through them
yes, the video is really good. i think so. by the way, do you need ship from China? I am a trusted freight forwarder provide DDP service from China to FBA or the third address,professional and honest, once you need, contact me pls ,thank you.
This video is really helpful. Thank you so much. I have a question please even after trying to list a product on Amazon I’m still having the error 8541. I’m so stuck at this for the past two weeks. I don’t even know how to go about it.
Any helpful tip please??
@@TheOduwolesTv Maybe it's because of the Internet, you can try several times
Thank you for the info! what if I don't find my product on the compliance list? but only find info about the material that my product is made of ? what should i do ?
You're welcome. If you're not sure, contact seller support.
Thanks for such a detailed explanation ❤ what if I want to sell a product that already exists on Amazon but I m ganna have custom packaging with my logo. Can I sell it as private label with my own listing?
You’re welcome. If you’ve customized it then you need to create your own listing.
Really good content, thumbs up
Glad you found it helpful! And thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it!
Hello, thank you so much for your videos!
Amazon keeps notifying me that I over priced an item I have listed as "used - good" and they deactivated it leaving it stranded. However, I'm seeing the exact item listed by others as "collectible - good" with the same asking price. I really don't want to lower the price unless I have too. Can you PLEASE consider making a video on how to convert the item over to collectible if you've already sent the item as "used - good" to FBA? Thanks!!!👍👍👍
Hello. You're welcome! You'll going to have to remove the current inventory, create a new a condition on the listing and sent it back in.
@@CrescentKao Thanks so much for the quick response! I was hoping there was a way around having the item returned and re-sending it back to Amazon. Thanks again!!!
@@AsalazIII23 you’re welcome
Thank you very much! Everything is okay so far. But after this, what should my next steps be? The list is ready and I need to send the items to Amazon?
You’re welcome. This goes over everything step by step: th-cam.com/video/BcXfpo7dMr0/w-d-xo.html

Do you have a video on add a product for only FBA please? So I can follow this better
It doesn’t matter if you’re doing FBA or FBM, the process is the same.
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!
Hello. Correct but the honeymoon period will still start. As soon as you have inventory in stock, the honeymood period starts.
@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?
Thank you for sharing useful information If I have colour variations should I need to mention product has variations while first time listing for getting Amazon approval to Brand. Or I can get GTIN exemption thank you or later I add variations and product ID ( UPC barcode) thank you
You're welcome! You should create the listing with variations right from the beginning. Don't use a GTIN exemption: th-cam.com/video/4ZM2JkPOHnE/w-d-xo.html
@@CrescentKao ok thank you for answering if a product has 4 pack with two different colours do I need only add colour variations how many upc barcodes required thanks
@@ManinderjitSingh-o4g You're welcome. The video I shared goes over how many barcodes you need.
@@CrescentKao thank you make a sense 👍
That mean 4 packs of same colour need one upc barcode, need another barcode if colour differ is it right.
@@CrescentKao if I add firstly, one product 4 pack with one colour. Can I add another variation after listing.
You are great !!!
Glad you found the video helpful!
yes i think so, the video is good, by the way, I am a trusted freight forwarder provide DDP service from China to FBA or the third address,professional and honest, once you need, contact me pls ,thank you.
Hi Crescent. I'm Crescent too. I'm stuck on the ASIN in brand registry. I don't have ASIN. Do I look for similar products on Amazon and use theirs? If so, how do I find their ASIN? Do you do one on one trainings?
Hey! That's awesome! I've only met one other Crescent before. You need to add ASIN's that belong to YOU. This goes over it: th-cam.com/video/nn2eTMWuy0U/w-d-xo.html
@@CrescentKao but I don’t have an ASIN. I’m selling self made journals. Trademarked brand. I was going to do GTIN exemption after registering my brand. What do I use in the ASIN area if I don’t have one?
@@crescentnovell8421 That's impossible. Every listing on Amazon has an ASIN. The video shows you where you can find it.
Thank you very much
You're welcome!
Hi I am a trusted freight forwarder provide DDP service from China to FBA or the third address,professional and honest, once you need, contact me pls ,thank you.
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
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: th-cam.com/video/4ZM2JkPOHnE/w-d-xo.html
@@CrescentKao man, no matter what I say it won't be enough to thank you. we appreciate you
Hi crescent can i Add new listing product even if they have an existing product on amazon catalog?
Hello. If you're doing private label products, then you need to create a new listing. Otherwise, if the product already exists, you need to enter the UPC barcode that's on your product and use th existing listing.
@CrescentKao do you mean i click the resell item?
Thank you for your video, extremely informative. I managed to get the supplier to print my brand on the box, I have the picture of the front of the box. Is one picture adequate enough?
You're welcome! Adequate enough for what?
@@CrescentKao I was asking about the brand approval.as I am not trade marked. I've just managed to get a picture of the the back of the box and the side of the box. I'm waiting to hear back from them, thank you!
@@lnajjemba I don't work for Amazon so I can't say with any certainty what will work or not. Submit what you have and see.
@@CrescentKao I submitted the 3 pictures and they have just approved the brand, thank you!
congratulatons on you have your own branded. by the way, do you need ship from China? I am a trusted freight forwarder provide DDP service from China to FBA or the third address,professional and honest, once you need, contact me pls ,thank you.
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.
Thank you Crescent for your reply!
@@ecombiznetwork You're welcome
Do you have to pay extra for this if you are brand registered? And is it worth getting the codes please?
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!
You’re welcome! I went over in the video how to check for any compliance requirements.
@@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. That's why I wonder if I can do a dummy listing and even a dummy shipping plan to get Amazon to tell me what papers they need. I'm just not sure how to do these dummies, esp shipping plan
@@gilen2111 To create a "dummy" listing, just create a listing. Shipping plans have nothing to do with product compliance.
@@CrescentKao Thank you Crescent! I started with the dummy listing already. However, to be able to submit it, I need the brand approval as i don't want to put Generic as a brand. I'm now following your tips in your other video re getting brand approval without a trademark. Hopefully, Amazon will tell me what papers I need to provide 🙏
@@gilen2111 Omg I have same issue with dummy approvals and listing product. Does you went through? Was brand approved without any trademark?
Hey if I am selling another brands product, what should I put as the “manufacturer”?
Hello. You’d put the brand.
Hi . Thanks for the video. Do I always need to run ppc ads to rank my unique product on Amazon?
Hello, you're welcome! You should always run PPC. Optimize the campaigns and continue to run them if they are profitable. This goes over it: th-cam.com/video/oujYIiRVuqE/w-d-xo.html
@@CrescentKao Thank you
@@healthpioneers9264 you’re welcome
Good !!
I'm glad you found it helpful! :)
Hey man, i bought my gs1 barcode and tried to make my listing i keep on getting denied saying brand does not meet critira for approval
Hi Crescent,
I already asked one question but I have another.
I am working on a new listing for a product that has 3 different colours, that is the only variation.
Soon after you start the new product form you are asked if there are variations but then you only input one UPC code.
I have 2 more variations, I’m confused about those, do I go back and fill out the form again for each of those variations?
Thank you for your help!
Hello. If you have variations, then checkmark the variations option on the Product Identity tab and fill out the details on the Variations tab. You'll need a new barcode for each variation. This goes over it: th-cam.com/video/-IOFXsLDFhA/w-d-xo.html
@@CrescentKao Just to jump on this - I am listing my first every PL product but I know in future I will have variations of it. Should I checkmark the variations option now so that it is easier in the future or is it easy enough to add it as a variation later on? Thanks v much
@@fs11047 Yes.
@CrescentKao sorry is that yes, checkmark now for future?
The problem with adding items is you have to be approved first and they always want to purchase order. So how do you get approved without buying something lol
Do don't wholesale or arbitrage.
i am trying to do retail arbitrage, buying products from walmart or home depot. when i try to list the items it still asked me to submit approval. so can i submit walmart receipt for approval?
No. As I went over in the video, you need invoices. Not receipts.
I had to cancel my first order because my munbyn printer or canon printer will not print the shipping labels. Any suggestions?
th-cam.com/video/mIqQzkasAeU/w-d-xo.html
Hi Crescent, if I have brand registry, do I use UPC barcode or apply for gtin exemption.? Will it still exprire in 6months? Thanks
Hello. Brand Registry has nothing to with barcodes. Always buy a UPC. Do not get an exemption: th-cam.com/video/4ZM2JkPOHnE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qK3ECmY66lTHqDUK
@@CrescentKaothank you for the tip and all the videos..
Hi Crescent, I recently just listed my first product however I don't see the keyword tab or vital info tab anywhere. I see that also yours is not listed, is it something that had gotten removed recently?
Hello. The Add Products workflow has been updated. Many fields and tab have been moved or renamed: sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G9YKQNSGEKXKPAYT
@@CrescentKao Hi thank you for the prompt response, im on the page now however i still dont see any tab for keyword search, i see generic keyword however only allowed to list one term. Is there something I need to fix about my listing?
Hi, can I ask why my product says “inactive (start future date)” i’ve tried changing the date and it won’t work
Hello. You need to have inventory in stock for a listing to be Active.
@@CrescentKao but you said we need to have it on our list before buying anything
@@adrielrodriguez9471 need to have what?
@@CrescentKao the product, we need to have it active in our listing before we buy it, but it’s telling me to edit the future start date🤷🏻♂️
@ I never said it needs to be active.
yeppers - bought several items under my business account name but CANNOT sell it
