What Article 19 asks for
When you sell to EU consumers at a distance, GPSR Article 19 asks the offer to show clearly and visibly:
- the manufacturer's name, registered trade name or trade mark, and postal and electronic address;
- if the manufacturer is outside the EU, the name, postal and electronic address of the responsible person;
- information to identify the product, including a picture, its type and any other product identifier;
- any warning or safety information, in a language consumers in the member state easily understand.
Where to paste it
- Amazon: Seller Central collects manufacturer and responsible person contacts per listing in its own GPSR fields; use the text for the description or the safety information attachment.
- eBay and Etsy: the item description, or the product safety section where the platform offers one.
- Shopify / own shop: the product description or a “Product safety” tab.
Marketplaces change their forms often — follow their current help pages.
How to get it
Fill in the label form; the Listing text box under the preview updates as you type. For many SKUs, the CSV batch writes a listing-text.csv with one block per SKU.

Frequently asked questions
Is the listing text the same as the label?
It holds the same facts (manufacturer, responsible person, identification, warnings) so the product and the offer match. The listing also needs a product picture, which the marketplace handles.
Which language should the field names be in?
Choose them under “Field names on the label”: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish or Swedish. Warnings come in every language you picked.
Does the platform check my GPSR information?
Marketplaces have their own duties under Article 22 and may ask for the details or remove listings without them. The text helps you provide them; it does not replace the platform's own forms.
