    Fucked by Amazon

    I think amazon is ripping me off. I am their associate and put a direct linked item on my site, which is only discounted at 10%. I suppose to get 15% commssion if somebody click on it and buy Immediately.

    Their rule is kind of ripping off anyway, but I still asked my friend to do a test by purchasing that item. Yeah, they only credited me 5%!!!

    I wrote them and protested, asking for evidence. Of course, they never directly answer my questions, instead, they kept sending me formated letters. The same bad experience I had with AOL before. Now I have to add Amazon to this big sucking bad companies list.

    Anybody else share the same experience?

                  So far, only AOL and Amazon. I think Gammacash (or moneytree? I couldn't be sure, because I quit them both already) is another one, but I am not sure. I mean their pay per click program. I did a test by clicking on that banner myself on three different locations, but they totally recorded 2 on that day!!!

                  DTI is almost the best I know so far. They paid 75 just to sign up.

                  Here is a link to one of their site, <a href="http://click.dtiserv2.com/Click/593-113-ch245">DX Live</a> you can log in to find the webmaster section to join.

                  But, does anybody here really know about Amazon? I think we should form a class suit or something. :-)

                    I may be wrong here, but by my math:
                    15%-10%=5%

                    I don't sell for Amazon so I don't know but to me the math add's up. If you sold it at full price you should have gotten 15%.

                    Just my

                      Thank you for the math, but Amzon's rule is: 15% referel only apply to items discounted 10%-30%. At first I was confused, why must discounted? Then I found out that Amazon "discount" almost everything at least 10%. That's another lie of Amazon, which nobody complained yet. So their rule is not give 15% to anything they "discount" more than 30%.

                      Anybody who really dealed with Amazon? Please do share with me your experience. Here is my post at Amazon's BBS, they still didn't delete it yet. :-)



                      I am new to being associate of Amazon, although I have been affiliates for other sponsors before. I found some of them are liars, while some are very reliable.

                      I had no doubt about Amazon when I first joined, and placed a lot of direct linked items on my site, together with nice reviews targeted to my viewers, hoping to earn 15% instead of 5%. Then I asked a friend to do a test purchase from one of the DIRECT links and specially told him to click through that link and buy immediately, don't go anywhere else in Amazon. He did. And unfortunately, I found there is only 5% in my credit. That item is only discounted 10%.

                      I wrote to Amazon, demanding evidence of why they caterigorized this purchase as indirect, together with a confirmation email from my friend, who is a owner of a computer software company.

                      I am still waiting Amazon's 3rd response (they didn't give anything in the two responding emails), of what happened. It's not about money. I just want to see how they get out of this. I am sure they should have certain tracking software to determine where a surfer go, so they should be able to give me a record of where my friend went between the time he clicked my link and the purchase; otherwise, their "direct" vs. "indiret" is a total hoax and I am going to expose them all over the web and certain authorities.

                        I was using Amazon a lot infact i was one of there top 3 affliates but they really suck. There aree lots of other online specialist book stores out there that pay more usually 10-20% just search around.
                        I still use Amazon as they come in handy for terms where you can find no other sponsors with over 2 million products they have a book for every keyword which can be targeted nicely.

                        Try this one:

                                  Anyone know of a decent mainstread DVD affiliate program? I'm sick of getting 56 cents commission for selling a fucking DVD for 12 bucks.
