 * Hi Paul,
    I am not sure what causes the local is defaulted to French product.
   the default country setup is US. Please help.

 * Hi,
 * Can you check the following:
    - You don’t have the ‘Amazon Link Extra – Spoof Locale’ plugin installed.
       [
      Check the Installed Plugins Admin Screen]
    - You have the latest ip2nation database installed:
       [Check on the Amazon Link
      Settings page it provides a warning if it is not]
    - Check what your IP address is resolving to visiting [http://www.ip2nation.com](http://www.ip2nation.com)
 * Can you also provide:
    - The shortcode you are using and
    - The template content if not one of the defaults.
 * Cheers,
 * Paul

 * Thanks for your help, Paul. I installed spoof local and it works.
    Another question
   though: 1. Is it possible to display by category with bestselling for the first
   rank or best rank 3 items? 2. Can (1) display along its prod preview?
 * Currently I have the codes and it displays for specific ASIN. I would like to
   have it show by category for 3 items of the category as bestselling products 
   in thumbnails.

 * thanks in advance.

 * Hi,
 * I have had a quick go at this and can’t get the results that I want.
 * If you can come up with a AWS request that will give you the results you want
   then I can build it into the plugin.
 * Try having a play around with the scratchpad, located here: [http://associates-amazon.s3.amazonaws.com/scratchpad/index.html](http://associates-amazon.s3.amazonaws.com/scratchpad/index.html)
 * You may need to edit the ‘Request’ (on the right hand panel) to add the parameters
   you want. e.g. I added Sort=SalesRank and BrowseNode=17 but I doesn’t seem to
   order them.
 * Check out the documentation at: [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2011-08-01/DG/ItemSearch.html](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2011-08-01/DG/ItemSearch.html).
 * Good luck!
 * Paul

 * Hi,
 * Sorry in answer to your second question:
 * Yes, adding the preview script should affect all Amazon links on the page, providing
   the preview.
 * (Although it may not work on all locales – I haven’t checked recently).
