Amazon standard email for creating items:
Please ensure you always use the appropriate UPC, EAN, ISBN, ASIN, or JAN code when listing a product. If your product does not have one of these standard product identifiers, there are other listing options you can use:
• If you are the brand owner or manufacturer of your own products, and can uniquely identify each product with other attributes like model number, style number, etc., you may be eligible to register your brand with the Amazon Brand Registry, which allows you to use an alternative product identifier. For more information, please refer to the following help page on Seller Central: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/200955930
• If the item you are listing has been confirmed to have no known UPC, EAN, ISBN or JAN code, and you are listing a unique selection, you may request a brand or SKU-level exemption. For more information, please refer to the following help page on Seller Central: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/200426310 ;
• If you are listing print-on-demand or customizable products, you may be eligible to join the Amazon Custom program, which allows you to offer customized products. Using Amazon Custom to list your products can improve your discoverability among buyers, your search relevance, and listing efficiency. This also allows you to manage your inventory more easily. Additionally, one product with multiple designs only requires a single UPC exemption. For more information, please refer to the following help page on Seller Central: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/201757520

GhostOfAmazon, we went here due to google Search, we've seen many banned in Amazon, most successful people on Amazon have been "banned" or dinged in some way or another. Even the official Samsung account and store was banned for selling inauthentic goods of their own brand, look it up, lol. Which they were not of course.
There seemed to be some good people on here who legitimately need help and could give help, until I met you.

LOL!

LOL Not to participate in this dick measuring contest but just to put this in perspective, A few of you are on here complaining about someone breaking the rules on Amazon and clogging up the search by creating new ASIN's, yet you are on a forum that is essentially dedicated to creating false accounts to sell on Amazon...Isn't that a little messed up? You're essentially saying its ok to break some rules but not others? LOL. Personally to me running a business is figuring out how to survive. If that means thinking or doing things outside the box well then props to you for figuring it out. Successful business is, afterall, figuring out how to do things first before someone else does.
Anyways. We didn't figure a way around the ASIN limit yet for newer accounts. We're working our way through brand registry and category approvals on a few new accounts this week. Next week we might be listing a large number of new ASIN's so I can let you know then. And for whoever was complaining about us not listing against existing ASIN's, well if they existed we would, but unfortunately they don't have a listing for the brand, fabric content, size, or material for what we are listing...Again, doing something others haven't done yet.

We're selling on Amazon and following the rules. Aside from bringing a new account with imaginary details, there are no rules broken. NO ONE here advocates selling phakes, scamming customers, not paying Amazons fees, etc...therefore, our existence and the rules we break actually serve to BENEFIT Amazon and the customers who come across us.
YOU and your ilk are trying to justify what essentially comes down to SPAM. Your argument is: "Hey, a guy's got to make a living! So what if I push out a few hundred thousand emails about being a Nigerian prince and cause people undue hassle and annoyance with my dishonest way of making money?"
The issue is that your SPAM clogs up Amazon, which hurts both other sellers AND customers. You're not benefiting ANYONE but yourself. Don't come here bragging and expect to get some kind of pat on the back. And definitely don't create new accounts here using your "uber stealth skills" to try and back yourself up. It's pretty sad, and it's not fooling anyone. | The Following User Says Thank You to GhostOfAmazon For This Useful Post: | |

Getting back to the original point and to answer IMG's question to me about it, we created a new account this week, brand registry and apparel approval. We uploaded our files and got hit with the same restriction at 10,000 ASIN's. Will file a ticket a today with Seller Support and see what they say.

As I said, no one with millions in sales and a "personal account manager" would create an account to ask banned Amazon members for help.
Like I said, no one is going to endorse what you're doing. It's dishonest and hurts sellers AND buyers.

I have to slum through seller support just like the rest of us. Props to IMG if its true but he is definitely not me..His grammar, articulation, and spelling are much better then mine as well. Can we get back on topic here or would you like to continue this dick waving contest?

For anyone that needs this information. On my new account I was hit with a limit. I emailed seller support. It took them 5 days, they told me the ASIN creation limit had been lifted. I had my doubts. I tried it and of course it was still in effect. At this point they told me within 5 business days it will be lifted...Not sure who to believe but I'll give it another try in 5 business days.

GOA, does it really clog up amazon? Surely this is amazon's fight not the forums. Just let him carry on what's he doing, if he's making a living good for him.
Another argument is, using stealth takes the income away from a legitimate seller who did not lose his original account through whatever reason with amazon.
Just let people do what they want and make a living.

Amazon and eBay have nearly identical policies regarding this. Do you think that's coincidence? It serves neither buyers nor sellers to clog up search results with 17 different ASINs of the same product. As a buyer, when I search Amazon and multiple ASINs of the same product come up, I get very annoyed. As a seller, its also very annoying. Your ridiculous comparison doesn't make sense...the other seller is competing with you just like he was your old "real" account. Nothing has changed. It doesn't make it any harder for customers to find his products.

That doesn't clog up search results because only the parent shows up in search. And for the record we're not listing duplicate products here either or creating ASIN's for products that already exist. Our ASIN creation is for products that DON'T exist in the Amazon catalog. Don't get your panties in a wad.

Your reputation speaks for itself on these forums anyway. Seems like most people have to constantly beg you for useful posts instead of trolling negative posts.
