    Hey guys

    So I've been a member of the Amazon affiliate scheme for a few months now and in the last month I have had two sales on Kindle ebooks and 1 for a wetsuit. How and when do I receive my percentage of these sales? The ebooks sold a few weeks ago and yet there is nothing showing up on the earnings page on Amazon. As for the wetsuit it shows I have made a sale but my earning summary still says 0 - any ideas. Apologies if this is a really dumb question!

    Thanks!

    You should have received commission on Kindle ebooks since they are downloaded and there's no shipping required. It might be possible that those orders might have been cancelled.

    I'll suggest you contact Associates Customer Service.

    Hey

    Thanks for your reply. This is what I was thinking - surely if someone purchases an ebook I should get the commission instantly. I'll contact them though to see what they say. I wasn't sure if I had to sign up to a separate thing to receive commission from Kindle sales or...?

    Nothing is instant with them. The person did most likely cancel the order or returned it. It's not common for 3 of 3 to do that but it does happen sometimes.
