I'm developing an application for a seller at Amazon, using Marketplace Web Service API (MWS). The seller has created an account for managing his inventory, and says that he assigned the necessary permissions. However, clicking "Sign up for MWS" button on https://developer.amazonservices.com/ results in permission error: "Insufficient user rights." Can anyone clear up what permission(s) Amazon Marketplace requires for accessing their API, or at least provide a list of all possible permissions?

  • You need a "Pro" seller account, see this related answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/15014370/2097290 – Hazzit Jul 15 '13 at 16:04
  • The seller already has the "Pro" subscription, so it must be something else. – SharpAffair Jul 15 '13 at 17:10
  • That's what Amazon says on their site: https://developer.amazonservices.com/gp/mws/faq.html/182-4740930-1031725#mwsSellers Just as a side note, not sure if this applies to you: You can only access the MWS in the market places you're enlisted to (e.g. you cannot "Sign up" on amazonservices.com if you have a UK merchant account - you will need to sign up on amazonservices.co.uk) – Hazzit Jul 15 '13 at 18:28

I found the answer. It has actually turned out that you can't sign up for Amazon MWS from a sub-account. No such permission exists, so this must be done by the owner.
