Does anyone know whether you get commission from an amazon marketplace sale ?

**scifind** · 03-10-03

Yes you do I think at 2.5% but will have to check

As far as I know, amazon don't pay anything for auction items, marketplace items or zshops items, basically, because they're not amazons products.

In fact, from the above, you're not even allowed to show these products on your site!

The 2.5% applies for Amazon US - they even have a separate column on the report for marketplace sales.

I keep forgetting that the US exists

Ah thats what I am thinking about,

ps on a similar note do Non Media Items include videogames - just thinking about the tiered structure, might be worth going for this Q

Yep the non media items do include video games (everything except Books, CDs, DVDs and Videos).

The way the tiers are this quarter I don't think anyone has got anything to lose by going for the tiered. As long as you can sell 1 non-media item then you will be no worse off.

I made it to the 20% bonus level last quarter and I'm hoping with the levels this time to do even better.

Looks like they have done.

I had a whole load of items showing a quantity of 0 on items ordered. Some of them then appeared in the items dispatched report with a comm rate of 2.5%
