  2. The Selling Accounts section contains a tab for each supported site.  Follow the instructions outlined for each site.

Amazon

NOTE: Due to a change with the Amazon authorization process, new users who would want to link SixBit to their Amazon seller account will not be able to do so.  SixBit does support Amazon for users who were able to get SixBit linked to Amazon before the registration change until Amazon revokes access for the existing MWS key users.  SixBit will not be compatible with Amazon in any regard after Amazon fully revokes MWS access.
