Does anybody know how to use PHP to send product data to Amazon.com?

I want to create a custom app that sends product data from an ecommerce website to Amazon (to list products on Amazon).

I can't find any info on this.

From what I know (years old) it is done with csv file uploads

This page on amazon still seems to imply that it is a file upload rather than a web service.

I think when you sign up as a merchant you will get information about it. From what I can remember there is a template xls or csv file they have for download.

Ok... I figured it out.

To upload/modify your Amazon product listings (as they appear on Amazon.com), you can use the "Amazon Inventory Management" (AIM) API.

See info here: http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/07102007_AIM/Amazon_AIMS.pdf

Yes, you are right... but... you can't check an answer to your question for a certain number of hours (the system won't let you).
