    Hi guys. Just getting started with the Amazon affiliate program. I was wondering if it is possible to earn a comission from amazon marketplace items (items on amazon's site that aren't sold directly by amazon, but through other vendors.). If so, is the comission amount the same as if the item was sold directly through amazon?

    Yes the commission is the same. It's the shipping & handling where they make a lot of their income. Electronics is 4%. I started 2 weeks ago and am already at 6.5%!!! :) w00t!
