How to Fix Amazon Feed Error 8075: Invalid Data in Attribute Fields
Error 8075 occurs when a feed column (e.g., bullet_point2) contains unsupported characters or wrong formats. Common culprits are smart quotes, HTML tags, en‑dashes, or non‑numeric SKUs. Fixes include stripping these symbols and using the YYYY‑MM‑DD date pattern before re‑uploading.
Overview
Amazon sellers frequently encounter feed error 8075 when bulk‑uploading product listings or inventory updates. The error signals that one or more attribute fields contain characters, symbols, or data structures that do not match Amazon’s required format. Resolving the issue quickly is essential to keep listings live and avoid delays in inventory or price changes.
Key Points
- Root cause — The error appears when an attribute’s value includes unsupported characters or a format that Amazon’s validation rules reject.
- Exact attribute identified — Amazon’s processing report pinpoints the offending field, allowing sellers to focus on a single column rather than scanning the entire feed.
- Special characters are the primary offender — Hidden formatting marks, curly quotes, em‑dashes, HTML tags, or non‑ASCII symbols often trigger the error.
- Format mismatches matter — Supplying text in a numeric‑only field, using an incorrect date pattern, or exceeding a character limit will also generate error 8075.
- Impact on listings — Until the feed is corrected and resubmitted, affected products remain unpublished, inventory updates are ignored, and price changes do not take effect.
How to Resolve Error 8075
- Locate the offending attribute — Open the feed processing summary report; the “Error 8075” line lists the column name (e.g.,
bullet_point1). For example, the report may read “Error 8075 – Invalid data inbullet_point2.” - Inspect the cell content — In the spreadsheet, examine the highlighted cell for any non‑standard characters. A common scenario is copying a product description from a Word document, which introduces smart quotes (“ ”) instead of straight quotes (" ").
- Strip unsupported symbols — Remove HTML tags (
<b>,<br>), replace smart quotes with straight quotes, and delete invisible characters such as zero‑width spaces. If the field is a numeric SKU, ensure only digits are present—e.g., change “SKU‑001A” to “001”.
Analysis & Recommendations
Why This Matters
When error 8075 appears, affected listings (e.g., a batch of 250 products) remain unpublished, inventory changes are ignored, and price updates never take effect. Prompt correction restores catalog visibility and prevents revenue loss during peak periods.
Key Takeaways
- Error 8075 is triggered by characters like smart quotes (“ ”), HTML tags (<b>, <br>), en‑dash (–), and bullet symbols (•).
- The feed processing report lists the exact column, such as bullet_point2, allowing targeted fixes.
- Numeric fields must contain only digits; SKU‑001A should be changed to 001.
- Date attributes require the YYYY‑MM‑DD format; replace 12/31/2023 with 2023‑12‑31.
Recommended Actions
- →Open Seller Central > Reports > Feed Processing Summary, locate the 'Error 8075' line to identify the offending column.
- →In the CSV/Excel file, use Find & Replace to remove smart quotes, HTML tags, and replace en‑dash (–) with hyphen (-) for the identified column.
- →Re‑upload the cleaned file via Seller Central > Inventory > Add Products via Upload and verify the new processing report for error 8075.
