NAME

   Amazon::MWS - Perl interface to Amazon Marketplace Web Services

VERSION

   0.116

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
