Someone please suggest an alternative

    I use an amazon.com aStore on my social networking site which has over 30000 members

    To my horror I discovered that as the store is linked to amazon.com only orders that came from the U.S are accepted so should someone from Canada try to order it would get rejected!

    Contacted Amazon, explained my members are international and growing by day. Amazon's reply is that i need to sign up to all Amazons at different territories and create aStores accordingly. I cannot believe in this day and age, these guys are as primitive and refuse to go along that silly route.

    Can anyone suggest an alternative to Amazon? I want to be able to sell a wide selection of products suitable to teenagers. My site btw is youbeenx.com any suggestions about who to use as an alternative would truely be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Well your alternative is,
    either set up different stores and add text with something like

    "US Store"
    "CA Store"
    "UK Store"
    There's nothing wrong with it.

    Also I can recommend Build a niche store which I'm working with but there's no difference, you can make eBay affiliate store for US and CA but you're still need to make a different store for UK (If you need to)

    You'll have to sign up with amazon.ca and amazon.co.uk if you have such visitors
    I would advise you to sign up with all of them

    God, what a waste of time that would be (to sign up to different stores) to think Amazon would want to help us more cause in the end we're helping them too!

    In my last communication, I asked them if it was possible to consolidate the commissions into one account and guess what, they said no! So this means i will be spread out all over the place...

    I will seek a professional company, just don't know who

    the different stores are different entities
    there is no way for them to consolidate your earnings
    go see what cj or linkshare offers you
