Physics news on Phys.org
Greg:

A couple of years ago Cristo asked if the link would still work if redirected to Amazon.co.uk, and you said that it should. I see there is a link from Amazon.co.uk now. I am in Canada. If I click on the Amazon.com link and redirect to Amazon.ca, is PF going to get the 6%? If so, great! If not, I will just get my textbooks from Chapters.
 
Before I buy my general chemistry book from amazon. Does the seller have to be. Sold by amazon or can it be any other joe smoe for physics forum to receive 6 percent?

Anyone as long as it's within the amazon URL :). Thanks!


Thanks purchased my textbooks. Maybe edit the first post to state this? Will probally clear a misconceptoon regarding qualification of purchases and increase more mony for PF.

Stupid question: Does this also work for orders via Amazon in Germany? Then, of course, I'll order via the physicsforums link :-).

Same question here.

Amazon recently launched itself in India and I will be buying a few books in the coming months.
 
I didn't know about this. Perhaps you should consider putting this in the "notices" box at strategic* times?

*i.e., summer and winter
 
I often buy things on amazon.com. How to do?
 
Excellent, I'm just getting ready to buy my textbooks. I will purchase them via Amazon/PF.

Physics Forums has opened an affiliate account with Amazon.com

6% of any purchase you make is sent to Physics Forums. Think about buying your school textbooks and materials this way.

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

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

I am about to buy some books on Amazon, so this is the chance to support the forum!

Should I click the link you mentioned?... just like that?

Would it be okay to buy a nonfiction book about something factual (like computer science) but have the intent of studying it as a subject not offered by school and mention Physics Forums?

You can buy whatever you want. :)

Whether these offers work on Indian Shopping Portals?
