POD provider sync with Amazon seller account-Global GTIN exemption
Hello,
My supplier POD has an application to create listings. In order for it to work, it requires a GTIN exemption certificate for my entire Amazon seller store, which I can't get. I manage to make exemptions on a case-by-case basis (I sell essentially the same type of hoodies and t-shirts from a single supplier) but this forces me to manage the listings/product sheets myself. Do you have any ideas?
I've contacted Amazon Help Chat, which sent me to a page with a link to a form, but the link doesn't work.
Thank you in advance for your support as I'm stuck!

Bonjour Spencer et merci de votre retour,
Non je n'arrive toujours pas a intégrer le moindre produit Printful.com (mon fournisseur POD travaillant déjà avec de nombreux vendeurs Amazon) en passant par leur application. Comme vous le savez la collaboration avec une plateforme POD comme Printful s'apparente a du Dropshipping puisqu'elle permet de ne pas acheter de stock et de ne faire fabriquer que ce que le client achète. Le système Amazon , malgré ce qui est annoncé sur de publicités en ligne, semble refuser ce genre de pratique .
Exemple :
-j'ai tenté de mettre en vente des hoodies et t-shirt d'une marque pour laquelle Printful.com a une autorisation pour ses revendeurs (donc moi), j'ai beau fournir ce document Amazon me refuse l'exemption et me demande de produire des factures de mon stock (minimum 10 pièces de chaque listing) acheté chez Printful.
Ma question: Cela veut-il dire qu'il est impossible de travailler avec Amazon en faisant du dropshipping et qu'il est impossible que mon fournisseur POD gère la fiche produit par son application qui permet de tenir le stock à jour et que l'envoi soit fait directement depuis l'usine la plus proche de l'acheteur vers l'adresse donnée par l'acheteur?

Hello Spencer and thank you for your feedback,
No, I still can't integrate any Printful.com products (my POD supplier already works with many Amazon sellers) through their application. As you know, working with a POD platform like Printful is like Dropshipping, since you don't buy stock and only have what the customer buys made. The Amazon system, despite what is advertised online, seems to refuse this kind of practice.
Example:
-I tried to sell hoodies and t-shirts from a brand for which Printful.com has an authorization for its resellers (i.e. me), but Amazon refused me the exemption and asked me to produce invoices for my stock (minimum 10 pieces of each listing) purchased from Printful.
My question: Does this mean that it's impossible to work with Amazon by dropshipping, and that it's impossible for my POD supplier to manage the product sheet via its application, which keeps the stock up to date, and for the shipment to be made directly from the factory closest to the buyer to the address given by the buyer?

Hello @Seller_7cZKLxRbrEPPJ,
I have been checking for you and I found that you can not have an exemption but you have been authorized to sell under the brand name.
in order to check further, do you have a case ID for me?

Hello Spencer and thanks again for the support,
Hello Spencer and thanks again for the support,
Your answer is instructive because I did not think that there were several degrees of sales authorizations. For my part, I obtained this authorization ( ) by requesting a GTIN exemption. I'm enclosing the latest ID case with support team (10431319382) and hope that you can help me to finally succeed in selling!
