Amazon Associates

It's one of the worst service from Amazon India regarding the payment.
When it comes for payment no-one will respond to your email.
Once you close the account you will get a mail.
You keep on opening new Account once your commission go up they will close your account and again you will get the same email to reapply.
Below is a line of a mail from Amazon. Till date no payment is confirmed from Amazon

What's Next? You will be paid for any outstanding fees accrued prior to this notice. You're welcome to reapply once our programme requirements are met by submitting another application here: Amazon Affiliate Programme For more information please refer to these resources: Operating Agreement, Affiliate Programme Policies, Affiliates Help Thank you for your interest. Amazon.in.

WARNING: Anyone who is considering using the associates program, I warn you. It is always broken. Weeks on end, every month. Then the support team has no clue what is going on. I am pretty sure that they just hire walk-ins off the street, and their training is about 5 seconds. It is simply responding with "We're working on it". I would suggest looking elsewhere, this is a sinking ship run by monkeys.

Amazon closed my account and refused to pay for sales I made over 5 months. A week after I entered my payment details, they closed my account with zero warning and without paying. They have now ignored my email asking what' going on. They have ignored multiple emails at this stage. They also don't have a phone number so it's impossible to actually speak to a real person. Never trust a business that doesn't have a phone number. All legit, trustworthy businesses have phone support or an account manager you can contact.

You start your website, setup the links and everything, and after a while they close the account, don't tell you why, and you have no more access to anything. Since I'm in Europe I'll ask them all my data regarding my affiliate account, but I guess they'll never answer, because they don't care about you since the beginning.
And worst of all, they ask you to reapply.

Someone bought a large ticketed item through my link. They didn't not give me a commission. I reached out and they claimed it was flagged because it appeared to be either me or someone I knew buying the item. What? I do not know who bought the item. But, the sports bra I linked also? Oh, yeah, we'll give you 19 cents for that. I am frustrated and plan to use a different affiliate program altogether when and if I refer them again.

I though my orders looked low. Amazon admitted to not paying me for orders. Claimed they were from friends and family but won't share why they think that. My link is only on my website and has NEVER been used elsewhere. None of my orders were from friends and/or family. None of them. Unethical practices.

Amazon associates use to be a great company to promote products and receive a FAIR commission. Now it's peanuts and not worth it. Do not waste your time creating content and promoting their products. Not worth it at all. We went from generating $40,000 a year to generated $5,000.

One sided program that takes advantage of users who help sell products. Amazon Associate program is designed to milk your work and then add fees to avoid payment. Fall short of their demands and all your work is lost while they continue to take advantage of your sales.

Stay away from these scammers, I made about 100$ and they removed my account, now when I log in, I have to register first, put website, ID, name etc. when I did that and get to the earnings tab, I checked and showed 0$.

Don't promote these fuc*sters

Amazon Associates closed my account after 2 weeks. They owe me around $460 for sales accured during that time. I have emailed them twice and used their contact form but they do not bother to respond. It's a digusting and dihonest way of conducting business but they know they can get away with treating people badly like this.

Wow, I feel like they stole time from me, where I could have been more present for my family, rather than working for them for free. 86 sales, 0 commission. Shame on you Amazon.

Amazon.com's affiliate program is only OK for publishers - Everyone loves to buy stuff at Amazon.com. But for publishers, Amazon's affiliate program doesn't offer much to get excited about. On the upside, Amazon offers a number of attractive widgets for your users to click on, search for Amazon products, etc and their website is easy to use. But Amazon's 4% referral rate doesn't get me too excited (although its 10% on the Kindle which makes me think they're having a hard time selling them) and they don't offer many (any?) coupons or deals. Link Share has been a lot more profitable for me.

I never leave a bad review but affiliates doing storefronts for amazon get absolutely nothing paid out... everything is categorized as someone who has a personal connection to you places an order.

Either a friend, family, or personal but they never state how this assumption is made how on earth can you tell if someone is a friend or stranger... because clearly they will be following you at some point to be able to see your website link even though they are not your friends... horrible service and program and they never state how they make their decisions so be ware that anyone will be considered a friend.

They will make a claim that the associate made a purchase, all to not pay the associate. I have closed my account with them and will not be looking back!

I have generated many sales from my Amazon Affiliate page and haven't received commission for anything, except one product that I never promoted. Technical support, I chatted with for over an hour, could not give me any answers and literally said there is no escalation process for this matter. I was told that I MAY not be receiving commission because Amazon autodetects when family and friends purchase from my storefront and deems their purchases to be invalid. Not only is this speculation and not an exact answer, because the technical support said they did not know for sure, but this rule is hypocritical as I list the link on my social media which is comprised of friends, family, and fans. Basically, I generated sales for this company and have not received compensation as promised. And I also have not received a reasonable or definitive explanation either.
