First time product lister
I am new to this. I want to list my first product. The same product is already listed on Amazon, but mine will be my own label. Does this count as a new product?

If everything is same including the brand, you have to use the same Product ID. But if it a different brand despite same product, it will be considered as a new product.

"The same product is already listed on Amazon, but mine will be my own label.
It can't be BOTH. If it has a different brand it is NOT the same product.
Thinking like that on Amazon WILL get you suspended. The 'same' means EXACTLY the same -- IDENTICAL.
Pay attention to both what @Seller_c9lY8wF1Vo61O has said as well as this 'generic' policy info from Amazon.
NEW GENERIC POLICY
Look for the October 6th 2023 story in the Amazon NEWS section titled "Update on listing generic products".
They have now decided that 'generic' is a BRAND!
To quote the lunacy and emphasis added by me because Amazon was apparently too embarrassed to point out the protections they are now giving to no name "stuff".
EMPHASIS ADDED FOR THE LUNATIC PORTIONS!
"Generic products are unbranded products that do not belong to any identifiable brand, and should use the string “generic” for the brand name field when creating a new listing. If you create a new product listing with the brand name “generic” or its local translation, other sellers won’t be able to make product detail page changes or add offers.
This helps customers differentiate among similar-looking generic products.
If you try to change a product detail page for or add offers on another seller’s generic product, you’ll receive a listing error. You will then be guided to create a new product in Add Products.
The Brand Name policy continues to apply to all products.
NOTE -- while it claims that you will receive a warning or "listing error" if you are trying to list on one that you shouldn't, there have been reports on the Forum that this is NOT the case and sellers have claimed they were suspended after NOT receiving any notice!
