They even show price from amazon on their own site which, IIRC, is against Amazon TOS
Its' not.. if you can show the price for New as well as used listings and keep it updated with API while showing last updated price. you have to refresh the price (And any other data obtained from PA API at least once 24 hrs).
Let me Quote it directly from amazon policy page
Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because prices for and availability of Products that you have listed on your Site may change, your Site may only show prices and availability if: (a) we serve the link in which that price and availability data are displayed, or (b) you obtain Product pricing and availability data via PA API and you comply with the requirements regarding use of PA API in the License.
In addition, if you choose to display prices for any Product on your Site in any “comparison” format (including through the use of any price-comparison tool or engine) together with prices for the same or similar products offered through any web site or other means other than an Amazon Site, you must display both the lowest “new” price and, if we provide it to you, the lowest “used” price at which the Product is available on the Amazon Site.
(i) You will include a date/time stamp adjacent to your display of pricing or availability information on your application if you obtain Product Advertising Content from Data Feeds, or if you call PA API or refresh the Product Advertising Content displayed on your application less frequently than hourly. However, during the same day on which you requested and refreshed the pricing and availability information displayed on your application, you may omit the date portion of the stamp. Examples of acceptable messaging include:
• Amazon.com Price: $ 32.77 (as of 01/07/2008 14:11 PST- Details)
• Amazon.com Price: $ 32.77 (as of 14:11 EST- More info)
