RussianQuestion

Product Name
Product Price
Selling fees (eBay or Amazon fees)
Shipping costs
Shipping dimensions

I am searched and continuing to get the exact result for the question in google. But, not yet get it right now. Can anyone please suggest your ideas on this? Can you please suggest Amazon API to get product details by using the barcode? Thanks in advance.

I have tried this API to get the details of the product, http://searchupc.com/ API. It returns only the Product name, price, product url, currency, storename. But, i want to show above (In question) details to the user. Please help me to find the exact API for the product details.
Solution
It depends greatly on the data that's encoded in the barcode you're scanning. If you're generating the barcodes yourself then you can generate unique ids for whatever product you're barcoding. Otherwise, there's no central repository for IDs that barcodes code for, you need to determine what is being scanned (or have the user tell you) and use an appropriate API (if it exists) to look up data based on the coded ID.
OTHER TIPS
A free API is available, it's documentation can be seen here
For using this API, u need to make a developer account
