Helping you sell online and grow your business
We’re pleased to announce the launch of our new marketplace portal for the growing number of members who sell on marketplaces like Amazon and eBay. The portal is packed with services, guidance and support that will help you sell online – and grow your business too.
More and more marketplaces are recognising the benefits of using GS1 standards to help their customers find and compare products. Amazon, eBay and recently Google are now using GS1 numbers to identify products, in more countries and in more categories.
Our new portal helps our many marketplace sellers get easy access to a range of services:
