Felix - Amazon Seller Ambassador

If time allow, please touch briefly about start a listing with GTIN exemption under the approved category. Thanks. I went through Amazon YouTube and also contacted the Amazon helpline. Unfortunately, there isn't anything to change...
Tan Mei Seak, Michelle

How many GTIN exemption can 1 seller get?Can we apply 3 brand new for GTIN exemption?
Oliver Chung
46:13
I have a question on GTIN exemption. I am looking at selling some art and craft item, which the category can be found when I try to add a new product. However, when I try to do a GTIN application, it does not have "Arts, crafts & sewing" category
Felix - Amazon Seller Ambassador

Hi Ellen, may I know the specific problem you have?

Does Amazon allow for online chat support?
Felix - Amazon Seller Ambassador
49:06
Hi Wilson, yes they do, if you encounter issues when you are selling
Felix - Amazon Seller Ambassador
49:32
I recommend checking out the link I sent to find out more about FBA :)
Chooi
49:41
As you said, if cust approaches you directly on service issues, if I decide to do a replacement, how to do this outside of AMZ?
Ellen Yong
49:51
@felix I have GTIN exemption approved. I was doing a listing under the approved brand name. I supposed to leave the product ID column blank. However, I was unbale to go through the listing process. May I know if I should input anything in Product ID?
Wilson Chua
50:33
Thank you Debbie!! That was most informative!
Felix - Amazon Seller Ambassador
50:50
Ellen, sounds like a technical issue, should try and contact seller support

Do you guys make use of any Singapore government programmes/grants in your Amazon business? Thank you

In Shipping, which option is best for us as seller. (FOB or ExW)
Oliver Chung
52:05
Hi Ellen, I have the same issue this time round. But my first product had no issues, and there isn't a need to enter the product ID, it will just be masked off once u get GTIN exemption approval
Wilson Chua
53:05
Cheong: You may want to use the Buy BoxAmazon will automatically designate one seller the default seller of a product. If a customer clicks the “Add to Cart” button, the seller that owns the Buy Box will get the sale (unless the customer specifically changes to purchase from a different seller). Because customers will rarely opt for a different seller of an identical product, “owning” the Buy Box is a tremendous advantage in boosting your revenue.

Do you need to trademark your product for brand registry before applying for GTIN exemption?
B Yap
53:24
How to spell helix ?
B Yap
53:30
celix ?
Arthur Chung
54:00
It’s Sellics I believe
Oliver Chung
54:06
Isaac, nope, u dun need to. Even without trademarking your product, u can still get GTIN Exemption
B Yap
54:27
Thanks Arthur
Isaac Lee
54:43
@Oliver, how do you go about brand registry?
Oliver Chung
56:33
@Isaac, I have not done that for my product yet. Its in the plan but I wanted to see how well my product was faring before I go for that
Ellen Yong
56:43
@Oliver Chung Thanks! Yes, Felix. I contacted them a few times. And he mentioned the issue had been fixed. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Oliver, how did you submit your GTIN exemption? I supposed we logged in main category will do? or zoom into sub sub categories? And I realised the sub-categories changed too. May be this is the issue.
Tan Mei Seak, Michelle
58:14
But the response of customer support is very slow and the way of their response is very "robot"
Wilson Chua
58:47
We have an online chat support team. How can we plug this into our amazon storefront?
Oliver Chung
59:06
@Ellen The first time round, I also had a small issue so I wrote in to support. They then asked for a couple of photos which has your product standing next to your packaging which has your logo/branding. Also a letter stating that the owner of your brand is allowing you to sell under the brand (which is yourself). With these 2 docs, the GTIN will go through
Oliver Chung
59:56
@Ellen You have to zoom in to the sub category, just to be safe. That's what I did.
Chooi
01:01:19
thank you!
Ellen Yong
01:02:27
@Oliver Chung Thanks a lot. I think these may be the reason why I can't get through the whole process, as I realised the sub sub categories had changed, which wasn't the same as when I got my GTIN exemption approved. I may need to reapply again.
B Yap
01:02:52
What is the best approach to handle out-of-stock situation during 1st month launching period, without affecting AMZ algorithm?
Oliver Chung
01:03:26
@Ellen Try applying again, and this time, select the appropriate sub category. Get ready the necessary docs as well. But from experience, it will still take a couple of ding dongs before they can resolve your issue.
Oliver Chung
01:03:53
@I'm trying right now and it has been a few back and forths....so hopefully it can be resolved soon
Wilson Chua
01:05:21
I see, thanks Debbie
Ellen Yong
01:05:33
@Oliver Chung Thanks thanks! I was so excited when I got it approved just for first time. I will do that patiently again. hope to know you in person :)
Felix - Amazon Seller Ambassador
01:05:39
Oliver thank you for helping to answer!
B Yap
01:06:02
There is 200 units limitation
Ellen Yong
01:06:05
Is the customer support for Amazon.sg from U.S ? or local?
B Yap
01:06:07
do you close the listing?
B Yap
01:06:33
Ok. thanks
B Yap
01:06:51
yes I have.
Tan Mei Seak, Michelle
01:07:05
Do you encounter before, I got GTIN exemption for my brand, then few months later, with stock arrive in USA, I was told I am not eligible to sell the brand..
Kong Kwokhon
01:07:22
Would you have a session on " How to find product to sell". Thanks
Chooi
01:08:08
@Michelle, then what happened? Did you pursue with AMZ and solve it?
Ellen Yong
01:08:44
@debbie No worries. Yes, I will share if I know later time.
Tan Mei Seak, Michelle
01:09:13
I wrote in, but not exactly revert with a good reason
Oliver Chung
01:10:01
@Felix No worries, great platform to share experiences and knowledge@Ellen Sure, but i'm not too sure how we can get in touch though...hahahah

01:10:35
they just told me after review they find I am not eligible.. actually quite upset
Oliver Chung
01:11:09
@Michelle, have u done ur listing, if u did, it might be that you used certain sensitive words/phrases in your listing which is why Amazon is stopping ur sale
Oliver Chung
01:11:31
@Michelle But yes, look into H10 videos for some answers....
Ellen Yong
01:12:00
@Oliver Chung let join @AMZSASG . I followed. :)
Tan Mei Seak, Michelle
01:12:13
No sensitive word..for my 80 Pces, 53 pce of the product will be stranded. the rest is still good to sell
Tan Mei Seak, Michelle
01:12:55
