Last time I uploaded an Amazon flat file without validating, 200 listings got suspended because of invalid item type keywords. Now I run every file through the validator first — it flags missing required fields, invalid characters, and wrong category codes before Amazon ever sees the file.
We pushed a seasonal catalog update and forgot to fill in department_name on half the rows. Every single listing got rejected, and it took three days to figure out why because Amazon's error messages just said 'invalid value.' The validator caught 912 missing department fields in two seconds. My import success rate went from about 60% to 99% once we started validating first.
One of my clients sent me a flat file with size_name values like 'Med' and 'Lrg' instead of Amazon's expected format. The preview showed me exactly which 340 rows would fail, and I fixed them all before uploading. That client used to get rejections on every upload — now we haven't had a single one in four months.
