Seeing your Amazon commissions from your Amazon Reports dashboard is a different feeling compared to holding the cold cash. Lol. I know. My first $5 didn’t really make me happy until I used it to pay for an online transaction.
But how do you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor when you have to wait for at least $100 to receive a cheque payment from Amazon?
What if you don’t want to receive it as an Amazon gift card?
Or if you live outside the US and don’t have a US account for direct deposit payment option?
Enter Payoneer.
Payoneer is like Paypal. You can request and receive payments from clients if you are a freelancer. You can also receive your Amazon affiliate commissions thru Payoneer.
Here’s how.
Go to https://www.payoneer.com. and click on the sign-up button.
Fill out the form. Enter your contact details. Input your security details. And confirm your account.
I did add payoneer bank acc info and my non usa resident tax info and i got this message: "We are unable to make payment for your account. Please contact Amazon Associates Customer Service for further assistance."
UPDATE: Payonner wrote back to me saying that my account is OK, that the message was auto generated but that all was OK :)
I signed up for Payoneer a few months ago but never received my card so I haven't been able to activate my account. I am on the fence about whether to apply again as PayPal is working really well for me and am nervous to break Amazon's rules or go against Tax Laws. Ho hum.
