International versions (tried .de and .es) seem to be up, interestingly enough.

I look forward to learning more about Amazon as a company by reading later about how they handle this situation.

Other services like seller central and amazon canada is working normally.

Seller Central was down for a few minutes - looks like it is back up now...

The homepage loads, but I can't get any search results on amazon canada.

There's a notification in SC

"Seller Central was down from 11:20 to 11:38 PST today. We have corrected this issue, and sellers are now able to access Seller Central. We apologize for any inconvenience."

I didn't notice it down, though.

It's back up now. That's quick. What's their uptime SLA number? 99.999%? That is a 5minute 15s per year downtime.
