This may be a different issue than before. Are you an Amazon reseller? 
Even if you're not, you may have been blacklisted by mistake.

It's all rather confusing to me, and I can't find any concrete info 
about whether I've got the wrong API in Tellico or not. My Amazon 
searches are still working so it's tough to know.

Bruji has posted some info for their users here:

The first thing you could try is to put your associate id into Tellico's 
config settings, if you haven't already. The default value is tellico-20 
and that may be what everyone will need to update.
