Question
I sell items on ebay that we import from china (specifically
stone mosaics). I want to sell them on Amazon, but i have no
UPC# as we import these ourselves. I notice that one of our
competitors is selling on Amazon, im sure he did not
purchase UPC #'s for all of his products, how is he selling
this:
http://www.amazon.com/Scabos-Split-Face-Travertine-
Mosaic/dp/B001HTPLMA/ref=sr_1_2?
ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1283025191&sr=1-2

Thank you,
Marc

Answer
Marc;

Thanks for writing me.  I am so sorry it took me so long to answer.  I was on an extended vacation for Labor Day.  With Amazon you have a couple of options.

1. List off of your competitors Amazon listing.  This is super easy to do, but you are at the mercy of what your competition is listing.  So if they don't list an item you have, you won't be able to list it either.  

It is very easy to make a listing off of a competitors listing. To do this look on the right side of the screen. You'll see "More Buying Choices", under that is the words "Sell yours Here".  Click on that and you can list your item.

2. Become a Amazon "Pro Merchant".  This will cost 39.95 a month, but will allow you to create your own UPC codes and list items that are not on Amazon.

I hope this helps you.  Once again I am sorry for the delay in responding to your question.
