I have a question. For this site to receive proceeds from a purchase on Amazon, do I have to buy the book from Amazon directly? Ie. sold by amazon or can I buy a book from any member that is listed on Amazon?

I've been buying things from smile.amazon.com because that way Amazon donates a tiny percentage to a nonprofit of my choosing as long as it's an amazon-affiliated organization. I'll consider purchasing thru PF's account. Maybe in turn with smile. Oh, and I'll definitely buy way more from amazon because it's advertised on the PF.

I'm already guessing the answer but, is there a way to get a link for the Japanese amazon? I get quite some stuff there, including books and the likes that I can't find on the main site.

Currently it is not listed as an affiliate, sorry! Thanks for asking!NathanaelNolk said:

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:

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:

Wish I could, but our affiliate partnership with Amazon does not include the Indian site.Wrichik Basu said:Why don't you associate with some Indian sites also, like amazon.com and flipkart.com?

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:

@Greg Bernhardt your links are creating a problem only on phone site, not on desktop. Changed the links in bookmarks.
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.

hmmm, nothing should be different. The code is the same.

Unfortunately we can't just add sites. We use an auto affiliate service and they manage the contracts with retailers.

We've ditched our old affiliator and are now directly connected with Amazon Affiliate. Here is the new link with our tag. Thanks!

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? Cookies?Greg Bernhardt said:
By the way, I tried adding that tag to Amazon India, and the page opened with the tag properly. Changed the bookmark on my browser. Will be buying something soon, so hope you get some percentage of Amazon's revenue.

Only needs to be set for the first page, from there on, it won't be added to amazon URLS for that session. You need to add the tag for each session.

It won't register for Amazon India I'm afraid.
