Why are upc required to export my booth items to ebay?

I am paying the extra percentage to export to ebay but receive the notification that I need UPC on the items before they can be exported. Why? If I list items as an individual seller on ebay, UPC is not required. It seems like an unnecessary added expense.

for items to show in google shopping whether from here or ebay, the upc on new items has to be there…ebay may not require it, but google shopping does..

However…Changes implemented by eBay on February 29, 2016, require that all sellers include Product Identifiers for new and refurbished items in certain categories. It’s highly recommended that all eBay sellers add such Required Product Identifiers to items wherever they apply.
