    Majority of items coming up "not available" in AWS site

    I'm working on a new AWS Pet Supplies site and for some reason 90%+ of the products show up as "currently not available" despite the fact they're available on the amazon site. Any ideas?

    If the category your listings products from is in Beta there's little you can do - if its not in beta post a message on their developer board and with luck someone from Amazon will look into it.

    Well, I know that there are some other AWS pet supplies sites out there. This one, for example: http://www.pet-supplies-hq.com/ . It uses the MrRat script without any problems but my has major problems: http://www.smartpetshop.com/2/kitchen/12926511

    I don't display availability if it says not available or discontinued. I figure:
    -feed may be wrong
    -buyers may still find the product from another merchant if Amazon doesn't have it
    -buyers can go there and see something else they like and didn't know about

    Well...I would do that except when you click on the product it won't show the price, or a picture, or rating, or anything of that product if it says it's not available.

    Oh shoot, you are right. I did not notice that. I run a camera site and you won't see the no price ones until you go a few pages deep. Thanks for mentioning that.
