I'm an eBay junkie. I just made a whole bunch of purchases on eBay a few days ago, but if you add one for eBay, I'll try to remember to use the link. I've got some eBay bucks to burn starting October 3rd too. ;)

For the holiday season PF's commission has been raised to 8.5%

Do all your holiday shopping by using these links:

https://www.amazon.com/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Is the amazon link the same as the one in the first post? I used that link just now to buy something, before seeing this post.

You can use paypal to get Gold Membership. It's basically a donation with a few perks :)

FYI, it looks like it will work with amazon smile too, i copied the /?tag=viglink20267-20 and put it at end so it looks like http://smile.amazon.com/?tag=viglink20267-20 now i can support my favorite* non-profit and PF!

*in case you are interested I'm supporting the Supercomputing Challenge

The mission of the Supercomputing Challenge is to teach teams of middle and high school students how to use powerful computers to analyze, model and solve real world problems.

What a great idea! Kudos to you on both endeavors!

if it is ok, i will share your amazon affiliate account info with the supercomputing challenge [ http://challenge.nm.org ] and i will ask them to put your website on [ http://challenge.nm.org/resources/ ] since many students and a some teachers [like me] could use the expert help found on these forums.

Any possibility that you can expand the amazon domains to amazon.com?
 
Do I take that literally? Now that I've clicked on amazon and ebay, gone to their websites and back, PF will be credited every time I make a future purchase?

You must click the PF link for each shopping experience :smile:
 
This is so cool. My family is definitely a good customer to Amazon, so I'll have to remember this . . .

Gah! I just got my new graphing calculator there some weeks back. If only I knew :frown:

Hi!
I would like to repeat the "international question" of post #27.
ebay.* ?
amazon.* ?
...
Is there a way to click on amazon.com and then from there to amazon.com?

For ebay it may work just to use the .com website, since the offers are world wide, depending on your filter settings for offers.

I do not see anything special in the shop links given here. It's just plain amazon.com, e.g..
How does the tracking work? Scripting?

How can I know it worked?
Should I search for a keyword in cookies?

Could you make a list which countries do support PhysicsForums for their localized domain?
We'd needed a table with countries/domains as rows and the shopping platforms as columns, just e.g.;)

Or some diagnostic website that reads out the cookie and checks its status, to see if it succeeded.

Thanks!

6% of any purchase you make is sent to Physics Forums. Think about buying your textbooks or electronics... anything here.

Just click this link and the tracking system will register that PF sent you. Thanks!
