I'm afraid noti.physics said:Whether these offers work on Indian Shopping Portals?
The discussion revolves around the Physics Forums' affiliate program with Amazon.com, encouraging members to purchase textbooks and other materials through a specific link to support the forum financially. Participants explore the implications of this program, including questions about tracking purchases, the necessity of using the link for each transaction, and comparisons with other online book retailers.
Participants generally agree on the potential benefits of using the affiliate link to support Physics Forums, but there are multiple competing views regarding the reliability of Amazon's service and the necessity of the link for each purchase. The discussion remains unresolved on some technical aspects and personal experiences with Amazon.
Some participants mention the need to use the affiliate link for every purchase, while others question if it could be a permanent save. There are also varying opinions on the quality of service provided by Amazon, which may influence purchasing decisions.

I'm from India . So sorry I can't help you in this case. Is there any possibility in the near future that PF will be linked with Amazon.in or Flipkart, so that we, all Indian members here can support PF?Greg Bernhardt said:Physics Forums has opened an affiliate account with Amazon.com and others.

Why don't you associate with some Indian sites also, like amazon.com and flipkart.com? Then, if I also buy books online (which I do less frequently, as Kolkata has a whole place where there are about 500 book shops, College Street), I'll also buy from here.Greg Bernhardt said:Physics Forums has opened an affiliate account with Amazon.com and others.

Why is the ebay.com link opening up ebay.ca? My father buys stamps from ebay.com, so that can be helpful in contributing here.Greg Bernhardt said:Physics Forums has opened an affiliate account with Amazon.com and others.

Nope. India.Greg Bernhardt said:Do you reside in Canada? Ebay might be doing a redirect depending on your country.
Wrichik Basu said:@Greg Bernhardt your links are creating a problem only on phone site, not on desktop. Changed the links in bookmarks.
Wrichik Basu said:Can you also partner with Delcampe? It's an online store for stamps. As my father buys a lot from there, I believe you'll get some good addition.

I clicked on the link, and it opened up the page properly. But when I navigated to a product, the "?tag=pfamazon01-20" was no longer there in the URL. Is this normal? How does this work?
