[Net-amazon-devel] possible bugs in Net::Amazon

[John L. <gal...@ho...>]

Hello,
I've been testing Net::Amazon for some time now and I would like to report some possible bugs. 
(I am not 100% sure if they are bugs. It might be intended.)
Firstly, some of the products returned by a search by Net::Amazon returns the wrong price. There's a lot of questions regarding price mismatch in the Amazon Developer Forums and it seems to be that if Amazon is not directly selling the item, you should use the MerchantId parameter and set it to FeaturedBuyBoxMerchant. One example where this price mismatch occurs is this product.  http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-L9040-Elmos-Restaurant/dp/B0015KTLZY%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIZJNGBMI7Y2N6RSA%26tag%3Dws%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0015KTLZY
Another possible bug is some products not returning image where it is available on Amazon.com's page. I am told that I should look in the ImageSets node if image is not found in the usual image node.
Another possible bug is the way the test cases search by keyword. I have noticed that explicitly enclosing quotes around the keyword yields more accurate search results. (For example, "X-men" yields better results than X-men for DVD browsenode)
I am wondering if some of these things will be fixed in the future releases of Net::Amazon. I would love to see some new features added as well, such as search bins with price ranges. Are there plans for these changes?
Some of these things I am likely to change/add to Net::Amazon as I need for my website.
John
