The codes DO NOT WORK on Amazon

I purchased barcodes from this service only to find out they are completely useless on Amazon. As soon as I tried to list my products, I received the infamous error 8572 – which means you're using EAN/UPC/JAN/ISBN or ASIN codes that do not match the product you’re trying to list. I attempted to contact their customer support, but got no response at all. Not surprising, perhaps, given what’s stated in their Terms and Conditions: they explicitly mention that no refunds are given if Amazon rejects the codes. That clause alone should raise a red flag — clearly this happens often enough that they felt the need to legally protect themselves against it. In my opinion, if your business is solely selling barcodes, then you should ensure they actually work on major platforms like Amazon. Otherwise, customers are just paying for something that gets thrown in the trash the moment it’s used. At the very least, they should refund rejected codes. Extremely disappointing experience. I do not recommend this service.

The codes are, effectively, useless on Amazon. Although BarCodesTalk.com will kindly try to work with you via email through a seemingly endless series of emails, questions, and screenshots, the end result is essentially the same: (1) Amazon won't allow it, (2) Amazon allows it but requires you to use whatever random brand name was originally associated with the bar code, or (3) the process goes into circles until someone involved cries mercy and gives up first. Whether this is primarily a problem of Amazon or BarCodesTalk is unclear, but either way it's no where clear on the BardCodesTalk website that using their UPC codes on Amazon is a hellish time-sucking experience. Even were I to eventually be successful selling my single product on Amazon using one of these UPC codes, the whole process takes so long for one single product I still could not recommend it as an effective use of precious time. UPDATE: Over a year after my review, BarCodesTalk has decided to reply with false information. I reviewed my email correspondence from the time and can confirm that I did not submit the codes through Amazon Brand Registry. Moreover, even were I to have been doing that this could have been pointed out as unfixable by the customer service representative I was communicating endlessly with at any point in time, and yet never was. Because of this I have changed my experience from 2 stars to 1.

The bar codes didn't work.

bought alot of bar code from barcodestalk and all of them are already registered dont wast your money scam

UPC codes that do not work on Amazon and they know it. I should have dug a little deeper.

I do not recommend. The codes did not work and caused major problems for my account as they were linked to illicit products.

I don't recommend this company. The UPC code does not work on Amazon. They issued the UPC code and transferred it to us. This should have been mentioned before purchasing
