I have an existing parent ASIN. I am uploading new GTIN-exempt SKUs to my catalog via flat file. Then I am I moving them under that parent as variants.

The problem is that Amazon is adding many of them under existing ASIN numbers, essentially creating duplicate ASINs. This is obviously a no-no, so I’m having to delete these and try to upload again.

Context: I’m trying to add 80 variants of size and color, and it’s taken days to even get to 50% of the way through, and fewer and fewer are uploading successfully.

I suspect this is because the SKU, color, and size nomenclature is very similar, i.e. Amazon’s catalog AI probably thinks they are one-and-the-same and need merging. I’ve tried varying field nomenclature to get successful uploads, but it only had a limited impact and I’m back to square one.

Should I just bite the bullet and pay for UPCs for all 80 variants, so that Amazon is clear that these are separate products?

Has anyone experienced similar issues or have thoughts on whether UPCs will solve the issue? TIA

Every time before a “huge sale” I see a bunch of stuff I’ve saved in my cart, up their prices then lower back to “original price” and call it a sale?

For example: 4 days ago, game was $59.99, price goes up to $73.95 2 days ago, sale starts, now it’s $59.99 20% off!!!!

How’s this allowed?? It’s so scummy

planning on bringing some sample size fragrance with me on my flight back to US.

total amount would be around 500ml packed in small bottles.

am I required to declare these to custom that I intend to sell them on my store?

just want to see if there is a market for these so don’t want to go in more hussle than needed.

couldn’t find any guideline in amazon docs. any help and references to documentation is appreciated.

Today I noticed that my parent ASIN for my private label FBM products was inactive. This was due to it being out of stock. Two questions

1) Why would the non-sellable parent ASIN need stock? 2) Could this be the reason I have been unable to win the buy box for my own items for several days?

Thanks.
