Amazon FNSKU label or GSI barcode required for FBA?
Dear Forum,
I am finding printing postage labels through Amazon a real headache due to formatting issues,
compared to printing through Royal Mail’s Click and Drop. So, I have decided to try Amazon’s FBA ‘small and light’ programme to fulfil some of my better selling items in the run up to Christmas.
I sell my own Christmas cards and have a GTIN exemption, so I do not have a barcode of any sort on the product or packaging. I currently fulfil the orders myself.
When I transfer my product from FBM to FBA, will Amazon generate the required Amazon FNSKU label that I would then need to print and apply to my greeting card outer sleeve?
Is this all I would need, or do I still need to purchase EAN barcodes through the GS1.org website?
Any help as always would be greatly received.
Many thanks,
Richard

Check the costs first
If they are letters , fba is more expensive than mfn

Yes FBA seems to be about 40p more expensive than FBM, but I honestly cannot see myself coping with the amount of orders around Christmas time due to now having to print postage through Amazon. I just cannot get a label to print out first time at present.

Yes, you will need to print out the FNSKU barcode and affix it to all your products
You shouldn’t need to buy barcodes from GS1

I used to layer mine with paper, but to be honest now I just send them all in, they seem to manage ok and my designs are never mixed up, even the ones that are very similar (they still can’t count, but thats another issue)
Sometimes I send in about 500/600 items, from 50 skus, loose in one large box
