A note about Amazon product pricing availability: For Amazon product prices in HubPages' Amazon capsules, we use the Amazon API to determine the "LowestNewPrice" from the US Amazon site. This information may not be not available for a small subset of products, even though a price is listed on the Amazon site. In these instances "price not available" shows in the Amazon product capsule. In this case the HubPages' Amazon capsule is working properly. You may be able to work around this Amazon issue if you can find a different product listing that has valid pricing information. A Note About Product Listing Caps You can only feature one product per Amazon capsule. Before April 2013, it was possible to feature more products per capsule, however we reduced the limit to avoid unnecessary clutter being added to Hubs (to improve readers' experiences). Should you edit an old Amazon Capsule listing more than one product, the number of product listings will automatic...
