You can do that? just go to your website and buy stuff? I didn't know that.

Why not, you are asking the world to shop your online store.
Retailers don't care either.
Legally, there are no issues as well.

That is true...i just purchased something so i will see if it registers.

I'm not so sure, Chris! I've read posts here, especially by Diane Scorpio, that say Amazon will jump all over us if we do that! In fact, I had a son living in one of my houses who bought one of my books left a review, and they explained that he could not do that because he must be related to me, therefore--no go!

I have also read other member posts a while back saying that their account was suspended due to suspicious buying activities! Apparently, it was determined that they and their family were buying through the member's links! Crazy, I know, I completely agree with you that we SHOULD be able to get our sales through our own links.

For these reasons, I have never bothered with Amazon Affiliates, besides the commissions went in the toilet as well! I am waiting to see if we get additional clarification on this with other answers to your post! 🤞🤞 because I am in complete agreement with you on this, but I have read many things to the contrary!

Hi Jeffrey, when I started WA another member told me about this after I was made to reapply. I did it to remove stress the first few months with no issues or complaints from Amazon. Commissions had no bearing on my reasoning. Now with some solid exposure, the ball is rolling on it's own.
All the best!

I am very glad to hear that, Chris!

Jeff

Thank you Lace!
