But when I login to sellers central and check out the inventory, the test product isn't there.  I can't seem to find it anywhere - so where exactly is it submitting to?  I've definitely not got any of the merchant id's mixed up - because I'm doing it all through the same account, authorising the developer account to use the seller account etc.
Is there something I'm not doing correctly?  Do I need to do call another function to commit the data or something?

You do need to change a few things within this feed but it's just a starting point.
First....
<PurgeAndReplace>false</PurgeAndReplace> // unless you want to delete all other inventory
  <Message>
    <MessageID>1</MessageID>
    <OperationType>Update</OperationType> //instead of insert

Next... only use this next section if you know the exact ASIN you want to map the SKU to.
<StandardProductID>
   <Type>ASIN</Type>
   <Value>B0EXAMPLEG</Value>
</StandardProductID>

Then... verify that the upload was successful. 'DONE' is not the same thing. You need to do a GetFeedSubmissionResult, which is a file download, and check the contents for
