| | Posted: | | | | Hello. I’ve had a new submission declined immediately as the UPC/EAN does not match the coverscan I included with it. The UPC/EAN number I’ve submitted is 12 digits long and definitely matches that shown in the coverart. However, there's a small gap after the coverart’s barcode and then a shorter section of barcode continues with five additional numbers under it, making 17 digits in total. Is this longer number likely to be the correct UPC/EAN, given the non standard number of digits? If it’s not then I’m at a loss to think how two identical numbers don’t match. In advance, thanks for your thoughts. | | | | Do you ever find yourself striving for perfection with an almost worthless attempt at it? Guttermouth "Lemon Water". Also, I include in my Profiler database VHS tapes, audio DVDs, audio books (digital, cassette and CD), video games (digital, DVD and CD) and 'enhanced' CDs with video tracks on them, as well as films and TV I've bought digitally. So I'm an anarchist, deal with it. Just be thankful I don't include most of my records and CDs etc in it too; don't think I haven't been tempted... |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes. I probably should have done this in the first place. I've submitted the DVD with the UPC 760137483991.  | | | | Do you ever find yourself striving for perfection with an almost worthless attempt at it? Guttermouth "Lemon Water".

| | Posted: | | | | 760137483991 does seem to be most likely.
Most places that stock this online also have it under 760137483991 too.

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for the image. If '760137483991' is the number you used, then I am not sure what the problem might be. Perhaps a mistake on the screeners part? I would try again and, if it gets declined, open a support ticket.
Another thing you could try is submitting without the images then, once it is approved, submit the images. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | What you have in addition to the UPC barcode is an EAN-5 barcode (these are also typically found on books). The EAN-5 is used to give a suggested list price and as the title suggests an EAN-5 consists of 5 digits. The first digit represents the currency type (0 or 1 - UK; 3 - AUS; 4 - NZ; 5 - US; 6 - CA) and the last four is the list price. 9999 is used if the list price is $99.99 or higher. Thus in this example the suggested list price for the DVD is $19.95 in US dollars.
I'd agree that the UPC you submitted is the correct one and the EAN-5 should not be included. | | | | Last edited: by rdodolak |

| | Posted: | | | | Thought I'd throw in an extra tidbit of information. Similar to the EAN-5, there's also an EAN-2 which needs to be appended to a UPC-12 or EAN-13 in order to be read by a barcode scanner (also applies to the EAN-5). Usually you'll find the EAN-2 on magazines, periodicals, or sometimes newspapers where the two digits represent the issue or volume number. However, I've seen the EAN-2 used on DVDs and Blu-rays. Fox in the United States tends to use the EAN-2 in addition to the UPC. For example, my copy of The Fly blu-ray has an EAN-2 of 50; my copy of Perry Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief blu-ray has a EAN-2 of 80. My guess is Fox uses these as a tracking mechanism whether is be the distribution center, stores, or some other meaning. The European Article Number-13 (EAN-13) was an extension of the UPC-12. EAN International was the governing body for the EAN and a 12-digit UPC can be converted to a EAN-13 be prefixing a "0" to the beginning of the UPC-12. EAN International has since been renamed to GS1 and the EAN is now known as the Global Trade Item Number or GTIN. Here's a list of the GS1 prefixes. If you take the first three digits of the GTIN (or EAN) or prefix a "0" to the first 2 digits of a UPC-12 you can look up the country of the manufacturer. http://www.gs1.org/barcodes/support/prefix_list | | | | Last edited: by rdodolak |
