Would be nice to see the amazon ASIN field automatically remove non numeric characters from the field. Should be easy to remove dashes and trailing spaces so that the ASIN field doesn't throw errors for these and so that the field is a bit more forgiving with it's formatting.

Title: Remove Dashes and Trailing Spaces » Handle Amazon URLs in ASIN and also trim leading/trailing space, etc.

+1 for this, and also for pasting an Amazon.com link.

I went ahead and trimmed whitespace from both sides of the ASIN.

My opinion is that there are too many variants of the Amazon URL to parse it successfully, although I like the idea. Patches are welcome.

However, the patch must:
* Handle all Amazon locales
* Handle all types of product page URL
