Dealing with Conflicting Values When Adding Products on Amazon
When listing products on Amazon, you might encounter the error: “The value specified conflicts with the value for ASIN in the Amazon catalog.” This typically occurs when either:
- You’ve already listed a product with the same UPC.
- Another seller has improperly used your unique barcode.
Amazon’s system doesn’t clear old listings, which can lead to “tombstoned” ASINs tied to old, incorrect GTINs. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn’t purge these listings, causing complications.
Solutions
- If the error is due to a reused barcode, use a different number from your order. You can contact us and we will reissue you a new code.
- If another seller has used your barcode illegally, you’ll need to contact support for further assistance.
Note: Any UPC you purchase from UPCs.com is unique and owned solely by your company. It is not issued to anyone else, nor are any codes recycled. In rare cases where there is theft of your UPC, please let us know immediately and we can reissue your UPC.
