Ok, I've read through the threads. Reinstalled twice. Watched and read the simple tutorials.
And I still can't figure out why there are no Amazon products showing up.

I've set up a couple of categories. Set up and started running Grab n Push for Amazon.
But the page remains blank.

As far as I can see, the Associates ID and the AWS key are correct.

Any help, please?

I have found that most of the time the problem is you are picking the wrong category to pull from in the plug-in.

I do a search on the ebay.com and Amazon.com sites and note which categories the listings are coming from. In most cases you will get results from a couple of categories. I pick the one with the most results and use it in the plug-in to draw from.

Thanks, but that actually wasn't the problem. The plugin just wasn't working or picking up any products or categories.

This issue has been solved. Omar looked into it and apparently I had an older version of the Amazon plugin. The new API for Amazon requires that you also enter your secret access key in order to pull data. So that was the issue. My older plugin didn't have the 3rd input field for the secret access key.

All my sites used to have Amazon products on right from th begining when the plugin was released, never had any problems until earlier this year when all Amazon products have disappeared from all my sites.  Also even with cron jobs running the ebay auctions are out of date.

Does the current Amazon plugin you use have 3 fields of info?

1 for affiliate ID, 1 for AWS Access key and one for Secret access key?
 If not, then that is probably the problem and you need to upgrade to the newer version of the Amazon plugin
