Amazon now accepting WestNet UPC codes instead of GS1
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to share a quick heads-up: Amazon is now accepting WestNet UPC codes as an alternative to GS1. The service is free at the moment, and you even receive a certificate that meets ISO standards. I've given it a try and it worked well for my listings—figured it might be a good, cost-effective option for those of you looking to avoid GS1 fees. There might be some bugs here and there , but its free why not ? {Content Removed}
Curious to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience or any tips to share!
Happy selling!

Not true! Where and when did Amazon communicate this? Proove it!
Anyone using OTHER than GS1 will get his listing taken down after - 1 year? 2 years? Who would risk this just for saving some dollars!

Hello @Seller_NML17JHpY2CUu,
At this time according to existing help pages Amazon only verifies UPCs as Valid through the GS1 database. As mentioned on the Valid UPC help page:
Obtain your UPCs directly from GS1 (and not from other third parties selling UPC licenses) to ensure the appropriate information is reflected in the GS1 database.
Thank you for your understanding.
