Combining Amazon Associate Accounts

    Hi, I'm an Amazon associate selling books via affiliate links. I've a friend selling DVDs.

    We're starting out and we each ship around 4 items per month. Because we're on separate accounts, we earn only 4%.

    Is it possible to combine the two accounts into one, in which case, the referral rate will increase to 6%?

    --------

    Is there any Web Services provided by Amazon that provides this sort of functionality? I don't mind coding something just to get a simple report like below:

    Orders for the month:
    Parka - 3 items - Earnings $x.xx
    Parka's friend - 4 items - Earnings $x.xx
    Total - 7 items - Earnings $x.xx
    Referral rate 6%

    I think you can't combine 2 Amazon account in 1 account...Sorry!!!!
    but i think we have another solution,Amazon have a good tracking ID sysytem. So you & your friend have to specify each product by differrent Associate ID but they are in same account....So total order will combine in 1 account but you and your friend can seperate earning by each Associate ID....Hope this idea can help...

    Maybe not!
    But tricky tip is: you can let your friend buy 20 items about $1-$2 dollar from your affiliate link, then you spend just 20-40 bucks, but your refer rate increased to 6% soon. If your selling products can earn more than $20-40 profit each time, you can try this.

    That's good tip Cisopower, but I do not have friend in america who can buy even a thing.

    I have more than 1 account of Amazon, I know it's lost if products can sale in different account instead of same account, to get more number of orders or ships, but how can I do? coz I have a lot of things to sell, 1 Amazon account is not enough for me.
