These + were difficult or impossible for the module to cancel or otherwise flag, leading to merchant confusion. Now, the module places + the Magento order first, and can easily cancel the order if something goes wrong with the Amazon transaction. This logic reversal + may lead to an increase in benign canceled orders in Magento, but should drastically reduce the frequency of orphaned transactions + in Seller Central. +
