Please be more specific on this. I would help if you gave the exact quote.

Is the notice talking about the data you can download in the future using the Marketplace Web Service, or is it talking about data you already downloaded before now?

Jim,

I am familiar with that DDP policy. But that policy does not mention the date Aug 24 2019 that you mentioned. Where are you getting that date from?

Are you using MWS for your own company’s integration or are you providing a service for other sellers?

Please notice the definition of “Developer” as stated in the DPP. It says:

"Developer" means any person or entity (including you, if applicable) that uses the Marketplace APIs for the purpose of integrating or enhancing a third-party Seller’s systems…

Focusing on the part that says “for … third-party Seller’s systems”…from a plain reading of the definition of a “developer” it seems to me the rule you mentioned only applies to companies doing development for third-party sellers and therefore does not apply to sellers doing development for themselves. This is an open question in my mind, and it hasn’t been clarified by any Amazon staff members that I have seen on these forums. On the other side of the coin, Amazon is making sellers who are doing their own development apply and go through the same process as third-party developers.

I hope an Amazon staff member comments on this issue for clarification.
