Does Amazon get ISBN data from Bowker? I've been trying to list a book on Amazon via it's ISBN. I get error 8572, even though I'm copying the data exactly from Bowker Bookwire, the official source. I've contacted Amazon Seller support, and they've asked for documentation, which confuses me since ISBN data is publicly available. I've supplied the information, but still confused why the data isn't just pulled from the publicly available Bowker database into Amazon.

I've also contacted Bowker support and they have confirmed the information, as well as it's availability to Amazon.

As of current, I cannot get past the error or receive further details from support.

They've been insisting that I provide a GS1 certificate

Bowker states: There is no GS1 certification since the 978 or 979 of any ISBN is the GS1 certification that the number is dedicated to published material.

We bought two batches. The first batch can be used, but the second batch cannot be used.

Unserviceable items ( 978-1-960051-06-6, 978-1-960051-03-5, ......) We bought 100 ISBN codes in the second batch.

Please help us.

Hello

My daughter recently self-published a book that we had printed through a company. I purchased the ISBN number through the printing company because we were initially going to use them to distribute the book (however, it would have made the book too expensive since it is a hardcover book), so instead, we decided to sell ourselves. On the Bowker website, the company is listed as the publisher. However, they told me it's only because they registered the ISBN and they don't own any rights to the book. The ISBN is written on the book, but there is no publishing company written because it is self-published. Every time I try to list the book, I get an 8572 error. I have been dealing with this for over 6 weeks. They keep closing my case. I have sent multiple pictures of my book and the email exchange from the printing company. Amazon keeps asking for a GTIN. I keep getting the same reply over and over again. I thought an ISBN serves as a GTIN for books. I spoke to someone at GS1 US, and they told me that if I have an ISBN, I don't need a GTIN.

My questions are

1) Do I need to get a GTIN from GS1 for a book?

2) Any advice on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated. I have tried to read through all the guidance but still unable to resolve my issue.

Thank you

I keep getting the error message below when I try to upload my new book on amazon for sale. I have an ISBN for the book I'm trying to load. The book info has been saved as a draft on Amazon. I don't understand this message and don't know what to do about it. Please help as I need to get this finished asap. Amber
