more than likely..have a space, dash, 1 too many/less digits or the check digit is wrong..the last digit or copied the number down wrong

if you are looking at the Search Optimize in batch edit, make sure it shows as

[[[URL removed] and not like this [[[URL removed] 3234567890126]] or like this

[[[URL removed] ]]

it is almost always an extra space either before of after

Google shopping is also getting really good about catching a GTIN that has a wrong number in it, literally. I found 2 listings where it said invalid GTIN and sure enough I had put one of the numbers wrong. For example, I had put the number 8 whereas I should have put the number 1.
