Amazon Affiliate Fee Structure

I am an affiliate of Amazon where I sell products for Amazon and they pay me a fee for each product sold. I would like to share with those of you who have not joined the Amazon Affiliate program as to what is the fee structure when a product is sold using your unique code.

Here is the breakdown for the Amazon fee structure for items shipped in a month:

Items Shipped Rate (Commission)
1-6 4%
7-30 6%
31-110 6.5%
111-320 7%
321-630 7.5%
631-1570 8%
1571-3130 8.25%
3131+ 8.5%

Referral fees for desktops, laptops and notebooks are limited to a maximum of $25 per unit sold.

There you have it, the fee structure. I highly recommend that you join Amazon Affiliate program and start earning some extra income. By following WA's courses, you should be selling Amazon products very successfully.

What is nice about this program is you do not have to house any of the products or take care of shipping and dealing with returns. If someone should return an item sold using your code, Amazon just subtracts the amount from your commission to be paid to you 60 days later.

Thanks for sharing an affiliate idea

Do I need to have traffic to my website before submitting an application to be an Amazon affiliate? Would love to be able to include some affiliate links to them in some of my posts.

Hi,

Sorry, for not responding sooner. It is up to Amazon to accept or reject your application. I would submit it and see. If they reject it, contact Amazon and ask them how you can be accepted into their affiliate program with your new website.

Hi George! I had a question for you maybe you could answer for me. I am new to amazon affiliate program. I was under the impression that if someone clicked from me and then purchased something, anything, from them, even if I wasn't advertising it that I receive commission for this. I just spent an hour on the phone with them with this question only to have it go unanswered. Can you tell me if this is true? Thanks!

Hi, Did you ever find the answer to this question?
I am wondering this too and hope you can help.

Thanks ,
Bryan

Hi,

Here is how it works. If you have a page or post on your website with a product pointing back to Amazon with your referral link, and the visitor goes to Amazon, even if they do not buy the product you are promoting, you will get a referral fee commission on any item they buy on Amazon. The referral link info stays in the visitors cookies for 1 day.

We have been seeing lots of unrelated purchases from our website pages for products that we do not advertise.

So, to answer your question is Yes you do get commissions on anything a visitor buys on Amazon using your referral link for up to 24 hours.

I hope this helps.

Fantastic , that is very good and broadens the opportunity for any one who has Amazon affiliate sites.

Thanks for your reply George !

Bryan

good info, thanks

Always appreciated.

Thanks for the info

Cool tip !

George, what might be the not-so-obvious pitfalls of the Amazon Affiliate program in your experience?
Many thanks,
John

Thanks, George. I wonder if anyone has tried their PPC yet and, if so, their opinion.

Good recommendation - joined the Amazon Affiliate Program myself about two weeks ago. There is such a wide spectrum of items at Amazon, that it enables you to monetize many different aspects of your site which previously I was struggling to do,
