Does my product need a barcode for Amazon?
The Amazon website can be a frustrating place to search when you are trying to work out whether your product requires a barcode or not. The majority of products on Amazon require barcode numbers, but some products may not require barcodes (for instance, Jewelry).
If you are unsure about whether your particular product requires a barcode you can check this out by having a look at your product category.
For instance, let’s say that your product belongs under the MP3 category: All Product Categories > Consumer Electronics > Audio or Video > AUDIO_DEVICE > MP3 Player.
The required elements to list in this category are the product name, manufacturer, manufacturer part number and EAN (barcode number). All the other fields are optional.
Therefore if your product belongs in the MP3 category it will need to have a barcode.
If you are still unsure about whether your product needs a barcode to get listed on Amazon, send them an email to ask.
Here is a forum discussion about whether Amazon products require barcodes.

Bar code is essential according to scope of the product . It is need for identify and listing of products. As Jewelery design may change regularly so it cant be optimized with bar code every time for every design change .
I like your articles and views. I will reflect on this issue. This is for my book publishing will be very help.
a bar code is needed, it helps with indexing tho its a pain
