I believe it's against Amazon's Terms of Service. They're bigger than you are and they will sue you if you violate their TOS. So check it out!

I liked Marty Cagan's definition: "once you have achieved a threshold number (I advocate at least 6) of live, referenceable customers for a given vertical market"
I'd say you don't have product-market fit until you have closed, signed win-win sales and a working process to acquire more at a profit. But I'm not a huge fan of 'minimal viable products' and rapid iterations. You really ought to at least have a strong competence at actually delivering something that solves the problem for skeptical buyers before you go out "testing".

Never give anything away for free! If people aren't willing to pay for it, your product has no value!
