I'd like to register as a developer to the new Selling Partner API (SP-API) by Amazon.
This doc says I can do so using Seller Central, but I have a Vendor account, and therefore I need to use the Vendor Central.
Is there a way to do that?
Yes, there is. You can find everything you need in the Selling Partner API Developer Guide for Vendors. In particular, the answer to your question is under the section "Registering as a developer".

I plan to develop an app for Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API). The general idea of the app is that it will be the app, that different sellers can use to help them manage their stock on Amazon. I myself am not a seller on Amazon, and I don't work for a particular seller. The app, once ready, should be available to multiple sellers who are interested in using it.
Unfortunately, from what I found in SP-API documentation here and here it seems it's impossible to register as a developer, without being a seller yourself or having an existing seller that can register you as a developer. Is this correct? If yes, is there any way to overcome this issue? It seems a bit ridiculous that Amazon doesn't provide an easy way for third party developers to develop and test their apps on Amazon.
They would require a Seller Central account to be set up for public applications to allow you to register as a developer. The main account would be used to access the developer registration form and can be used to set up developer access. This would also allow support cases to be raised. Be aware that they will charge a monthly fee. Recent updates to documentation appears to suggest this will only affect Public application developers.
I am trying to get Amazon Seller Access keys from User Permissions page and it says
"Developer Central
Are you a software developer building applications using MWS?
If you need MWS API Access Keys because you are coding software applications for your own selling account or to be utilized by other sellers, you can provide information about your business and apply for access here. We will thoroughly review your submitted information. This process may take up to 30 days. ".
in Past i used to see MWS access keys (access key and secret key) for a Seller but this is my 3rd time i am not able to see keys so my question is: Amazon changed their policy or some one can help me how we can get MWS access API Keys for a Amazon FBA Seller Account ?
Basically, every seller with a pro account have MWS but if you wish to develop third-party system and access Amazon API, you will need to ask for Developer MWS Credentials.
After answering some questions about your need to use this MWS for development purpose, they with review and let you know (it takes about 30 days to get answer)
I'm managing my customer data in SalesForce and I want to integrate it with BlueSnap so I can create orders with SalesForce;
Are there any limitations I should be aware of?
Where can I find clear instructions?
Thanks
Hi – you need to keep in mind the following requirements before you start integrating SalesForce with BlueSnap;
Your SalesForce account must be an “Enterprise or Performance” or “Unlimited” Edition.
Your production BlueSnap account should be active with a PCI level of SAQ C-VT.
You need to setup your soft-descriptor, API username and Payout method in your BlueSnap account.
Your BlueSnap approved IPs should include this address: 204.14.232.100
You can see the requirements and setup instructions in this page, and in here.
I hope this information is what you were looking for :)

I want to have a look on amazon MWS api but it needs a special type of account (seller account) that I do not have one. I want just to see and use the technical aspects of the API with mock data.
So does amazon provide a "developer" version of their amazon MWS API?
You must have an Amazon seller account to use it. There are no sandboxes or developer versions to play with. You can download a client library where they have mock data for you to look at. That's right here: https://developer.amazonservices.com/
But that's the best you can get without being a seller.
Well, I've been building some free apps on top of appengine, but now I want to start charging money. My question is:
What is the best way to collect payments from users. Do certain services (paypal, google checkout, etc) work better/worse with AppEngine's library restrictions? Are there any good examples or tutorials to help me learn how to do this?
You can do this any way you want, really - and there's nothing App Engine specific about it. For example, you could use Google Checkout or Paypal, and charge users on any basis you want.
Also just something to point out about the implementation, a simple boolean property on your user object should allow you to easily turn functions in your app on and off, depending on which tier your user has paid for.
Checkout http://Spreedly.com or http://Recurly.com. Both are billing solution SaaS apps. http based api's and easy to use. I use Spreedly.com
If you plan to sell business apps you could integrate with the Google Apps Marketplace which uses Google Checkout for billing.
