It takes repeated calls to return a UPC search in music but an ASIN search returns a 503.

No matter what way you look at it, yep, it's messed up! :)

Please be more carefull when rolling out new AWS software. Since the rollout the 'AsinSearch' failure rate is 70%+ (us only), and 'ExchangeSearch' returns empty xml nodes in 40-60% of the requests. (i have tried uk and de only so far). Some Products have a 'used price' (or 'third party new'), but have no marketplace offers. (eg. German Product 3411032294) ... but i don't know if this is a new or old bug.

This means we need to flush cache (delete every single file) and disable it until this all blows over.

I'm sorry but this is costing me (and therefore you) money, in lost sales. Over what? German Umlaut characters?

Seriously... Next time you want to roll out a kewl new feature please put it at a different URI i.e. test.xml.amazon.com instead of breaking my site.

I don't know if there was any kind of notice given, about this "upgrade" but, if I ever get the chance to know in advance, I'm just going to modify my index page to say that we're going to be down for the next "x" amount of hours.

BTW is there a place to find out about up coming "upgrades?"

p.s. Please test stuff before you deploy it.

To roll out an update that simply don't work is bad behaviour.
