    I don't know what other experience but for me Amazon Associates program is a scam. I sold for them IPOD'd, software, books, etc..
    I have this month sold 2 ipod's and no commision received.
    I have an ipod sold from last month and no commision. If i sell why they don't pay? I don't give a shet if the user registered THROUGH one of my websites buys after 4 weeks because i brigned to them that user.

    They are making money on our hard work and they don't care about us, and don't respect us.

    I want to know also other's experiences because i am sure i am not the only one with this problem.

    Give us more details... I seem to be doing fine but sometimes orders never get shipped, sometimes get returned.

    Tell us which part is wrong:
    - No trace of the order
    - Shows as ordered but not shipped
    - Shows as shipped but no money received

    Remember the money is paid quarterly, so don't expect them anytime soon.

    As far as returns go, they can take awhile so don't count your chickens just yet...

    Amazon's affiliate program is not a scam. I earn decent money each quarter with very little work involved.

    Quite often order are never shipped resulting in no commission!

    only the expensive products which cost more than $100.

    With low cost products i get the commisions.
    They told me that if a user registers but buy after a month i will see the sale but they will not pay me. Do you think this is fare?

    You still did not answer clear to my question.

    Where exactly is the problem you are having?
    With the expensive products what? You see orders but no commissions?
    You don't even see orders? I'm confused!

    I make about $1000/mo with Amazon... And I have over 3500 times people put something in the cart, but then only 15% really bought it.

    Then I always have pending sales sitting in the orders, some... never get shipped. But that's normal that's not Amazon. That's usually third parties that are out of stock.

    I see that i received almost all my commisions. :D
    It seems that some products were delivered harder then others.
