    Hello everyone, I'm a bit confused with the amazon associate program. I started promoting amazon products and according to the orders report I got 7 orders yesterday (Nov. 28, 2008) But when I check the earnings report It says $0.00.

    can anyone explain this?

    thanks in advance.

    Congratulations on your 7 orders.

    They will not show up as earnings UNTIL they are dispatched.
    You earn nothing for orders. I could order 1000 items from your store, but if i did not pay for them they it would do you no good.

    What you earn for are items sold, paid for and dispatched.

    Thanks vagrant, i appreciate your quick reply.

    Are you saying that, even when a customer pays for an item it won't be credited to me until it has been shipped? I just want to get a good understanding of how amazon works.

    I've been doing affiliate marketing for a while now but i'm totally new to amazon.

    That's right.
    It shows in earnings when it goes out of the doors from amazon.
