VERSION

DESCRIPTION

    See Amazon::MWS::Client

MWS in practice

 Product price

    Every product uploaded needs a price of 0.01 or higher, otherwise you
    get the following error:

        0.00 price (standard or sales) will not be accepted.
        Please ensure that every SKU in your feed has a price at least equal to or greater than 0.01

 Shipping costs

    You need to configure the shipping costs in Amazon Seller Central, you
    can't pass them through MWS:

    https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/shipping/dispatch.html

 Stuck uploads

    There is no guarantee that Amazon finishes your uploads at all. We had
    uploads stuck for at least a week.

 Multiple marketplaces

    You can use this module and the uploader for multiple Amazon
    marketplaces. Please make sure that you disable Amazon's
    synchronisation between marketplaces.

    For marketplaces with a different currency you need to convert your
    price first.

    The list of marketplaces can be found at:

    http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/dev_guide/DG_Endpoints.html

 Throttling and Quota

    With Amazon MWS you have to deal with Amazon throttling your uploads
    and imposing quotas.

    Possible reasons:

    Upload too often

    Stuck uploads

    Orders with orderlines

 Upload Errors

  Error 8572: Incorrect UPCs/EANs/...

       error: You are using UPCs, EANs, ISBNs, ASINs, or JAN codes
       that do not match the products you are trying to list. Using incorrect UPCs,
       EANs, ISBNs, ASINs or JAN codes is prohibited and it can result in your ASIN
       creation privileges being suspended or permanently removed.

    This happened in our case with products having self assigned EAN codes,
    but with a well known manufacturer. Apparently Amazon knows about the
    EAN ranges for this manufacturer.
