Confusing guidance on listings for new merchant [EAN/ASIN codes]

Post Body

I've been running my own online shop for a couple years and decided I would try listing one or two products in the Amazon marketplace also to see how they do. I signed up as a seller and started to enter one product in Seller Central, and ran into the EAN/ASIN/UPC requirement. Someone on reddit told me I can just buy a couple of codes from an eBay reseller, but I don't see how those codes get registered to my products. I have also seen some comments that Amazon will smack you down for using codes from resellers, but I'm not sure if that's current info or obsolete.

I can't afford the GTIN subscription to buy two codes directly from them. What's my best option? If it is buying a few codes from eBay, how do I make sure the codes are assigned to my products so that when Amazon checks them they are legitimate?
