    On this page clicky it says:

    Limitations on Advertising Fee Rates for Certain Products

    Notwithstanding the advertising fee rates described on this page, advertising fees for all Qualifying Purchases of Products are limited to a maximum of £7.00/€10,00 (as appropriate) per Product, regardless of the Qualifying Revenues received from the sale of that Product.

    Is that correct? What does that mean?

    Is that from Amazon UK? AFAIK, they capped all commission to the max £7.00. So, if you sell a product cost $1,000 and you're at 4% rate, you supposed to get £40. But because of this rule, you can only get £7.00. CMIIW.

    Is Amazon.com structure different because I sold a hair removal kit for $1499 and received $100 commission @7%. Will i receive the same from Amazon.co.uk?

    If not then Amazon.co.uk can suck my balls and i will stay with Amazon.com and get paid by cheque!!!!!!!!!

    You people are correct. I used to promote Amazon UK alot but gave it up and focus on Amazon US because of the £7.00 cap.
    Now, what is the use of promoting high-paying products when the maximum referral fee is £7.00?

    I would say put your efforts in a programme that's not capped.

    Yes this is true, I just changed my niches for Amazon UK. For example I no longer promote Treadmills. Amazon USA is better for the commissions but a bit more crowded in the niches.
