Can I buy from myself?

    Truly I searched to see if this was answered specifically so sorry if it's been asked and answered 100 times. With CJ, is it up to the individual merchant whether I can buy from my own site? I need shoes and I would like the commission!

    I know of hundreds of people that do that and have never had an issue with it.

    I think that's the case as well, but I'm just so trained not to click anything because of google. I also tried to search for an answer and it seemed some merchants allow it and some don't. But I tried to read the agreement and find it and that was a needle in a haystack.

    I don't see any reason why not. to the affiliate company your money is just as good as someone else's money. Good luck

    You shouldnt do that but many guys do that. You may buy in someone else's name.

    I wrote CJ and they said it was fine. Most of the Merchants are fine with it also. It works great if you are looking for hosting, the $100 +/- covers a bunch of hosting!

    I would recommend checking with each individual program within CJ. Some are OK with it and some are not from my experience. Never hurts to check before hand...

    The ones who don't allow it generally say so right up front in their info area.
