New listing requirements for Price Per Unit information

Price Per Unit (PPU) information is used by customers to compare and evaluate products during their shopping journey. To deliver a complete, consistent, and accurate PPU experience, Amazon will be implementing the following data requirements for U.S. sellers.

  1. 1. Starting June 12, 2019, products sold within the U.S. Consumable product types listed below will require all new listings to include the unit_count attribute, which was previously optional. Unit count includes a value (unit_count, e.g. "5") and a unit type (unit_count_type, e.g. "ounce"). The unit type will be restricted to the following units:
    • fluid ounce
    • ounce
    • pound
    • gram
    • count

    Data submissions without this information will fail. The scope of this change includes any product-level data submissions, whether through Excel templates, Seller Central, or XSD feeds.

  2. Similarly, on June 12 products sold within the same U.S. Consumables product types will also require updates to existing impacted listings to include the unit_count attribute. ASINs without unit count information or with incorrect values in the unit_count_type attribute will require this information when listings are updated. Any updates that do not include this information will be rejected.

The change will be applicable to the following Consumables product types:

  • BEAUTY
  • BODY_CARE_PRODUCT
  • FRAGRANCE, HAIR_CARE_PRODUCT
  • HAIR_REMOVAL_AND_SHAVING_PRODUCT
  • LUXURY_BEAUTY
  • MAKE_UP, SKIN_CARE_PRODUCT
  • HEALTH_MISC
  • DAILY_LIVING_AIDS, DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTS
  • HEALTH_FOOD, OTC_MEDICATION
  • PERSONAL_CARE_APPLIANCE
  • SEXUAL_WELLNESS
  • BABY_FOOD
  • GROCERY

For guidance on choosing the right unit of measure, refer to How to determine Price Per Unit. For additional questions and concerns, please contact Seller Support.

There is so much confusion about what constitutes a “unit” that this could hurt customers more than it helps. Even where the info is clear, some sellers will abuse this, and honest sellers will be put through the Seller Support torture machine for doing things right. Until you can provide proper support for listing issues, I would advise against complicating things further.

And if you sell a product that weighs 6 fl.oz. but is a concentrate so it actually makes 1 gallon; and your competitor sells their 6 fl.oz product which is not a concentrate so it is only 6 fl.oz. - how will the consumer benefit?

I’m apprehensive at best. I suspect the first seller will get “screwed” in sales because the customer will not be able to see one product is 6 fl. oz and the other actually gives you a full gallon.

Somewhat confused as to what to apply to a breading mix. I have read thru all information I can find and not sure what to apply to listing.

I have 2 boxes per order. Would it be by count or unit. I do not believe it would be by ounce.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
