Amazon Affiliate Links on Facebook

    Been trying to find an answer to an Amazon/Facebook question all morning.

    I wanted to create a Facebook App for baseball coaches to help them find equipment, skill camps, teaching videos, etc.

    I'd like to embed Amazon affiliate links in my Facebook App so that people who go to Amazon to buy any equipment recommended will create a 4% commission for me.

    I tried to find amazon affiliate links on Facebook and couldn't really find any. Tried to find amazon affiliate links in Facebook Apps and couldn't find any.

    Because I can't find any Amazon affiliate links on Facebook, I am wondering if they are banned or inoperable or both. Read the documentation and it seemed okay, although there seems to be a requirement that Amazon must be have pen access to the link and they don't allow redirects.

    But that doesn't seem to be an impediment to what I want to do.

    Don't want to get started in this until I am sure I am on the right track. And the total absence of Amazon affiliate links in Facebook/Facebook Apps is weirding me out.

    Am I just missing them? Any help on the rules would be greatly appreciated, and any examples would also be appreciated.
