If you want to maximise your chances of success and speed up the listing process on Amazon, here are some common mistakes to avoid when listing your products:

Incorrect GS1GTINs™: Ensure you are using the right GS1 GTIN™ for your product. If you use the GS1 GTIN™ of another product already out there, your listing might get rejected which means more time before you can start selling.
Duplicate GS1GTINs™: If you use a random number (one that is not part of the GS1 system), it might work for a while but then when someone gets the same number from GS1, it creates duplicates in Amazon's catalogues with a risk of suppression of one of the product pages.

By using a GS1 GTIN™ issued by GS1 and following the GS1 GTIN™ management rules, you can avoid a poor customer experience and catalogue problems.
