Overview

Amazon returns error 6000 when a numeric entry in a product feed does not follow the strict two‑decimal‑place rule. The issue appears during bulk uploads or API submissions and blocks the affected rows from being processed. Sellers must correct the formatting to keep listings active and avoid delays.

Key Points

• Two‑decimal rule — Every numeric field that expects a price, size, or weight must contain exactly two digits after the decimal point, such as “12.34”.
• Whole numbers need padding — A value entered as “7” will be rejected; it must be written as “7.00”.
• Single‑digit decimals are invalid — Submitting “7.5” triggers the error; the correct format is “7.50”.
• Extra digits cause rejection — Entries like “7.567” or “7.1234” exceed the limit and will fail validation.
• Applies to multiple fields — The rule covers price, list price, shipping weight, product dimensions, and any custom numeric attribute that Amazon marks as “decimal”.

How to Fix Error 6000

1. Identify the flagged column — Open the returned error report, locate the column name (e.g., StandardPrice), and find the row number indicated. For instance, row 342 shows “StandardPrice = 19.9”.
2. Adjust to two decimals — Edit the cell so that it displays exactly two digits. Using the example, change “19.9” to “19.90”. If the original value is a whole number like “25”, rewrite it as “25.00”.
3. Round or truncate excess digits — When a value contains more than two decimal places, round it to the nearest hundredth. For example, “3.456” becomes “3.46”, while “3.454” becomes “3.45”. After editing, save the file in the required format (TXT or CSV) and re‑upload.

Before / After Comparison

• Before: A flat‑file row lists StandardPrice = 49 and PackageWeight = 2.5. Amazon’s validation flags both fields because they lack the required two‑digit suffix.
• : The same row is updated to and . The feed passes validation, and the products become active without further intervention.
