I was wondering if any of you use the Amazon API on your sites? I looked for information online but couldn't find details. I need to submit credit card details so that they could bill me. But, before doing so I was wondering if any of you knew how much they charge etc.
Is it per call or does it have a sort of tier system. And any other details about it would be cool
I am interested too in others' experience. Good question.
What do you want to use it for? I have used Amazon in the past on various websites, using plugins that use the API, and I've never paid a cent nor submitted my credit card.
I took my API with amazon off my hub account. My husband worked for them for eight years as a shipping clerk, loading boxes on trucks and making pallets. Amazon managers and the like, treated him like crap.
They treat all their workers like crap. Amazon likes to withhold monies from the employees via the time clock entries. So very happy we never have to deal with Amazon again! :-) The HR there were playing games about giving him his last check that he was due too.
They call, tell us we can go pick it up. Then we get there, and they give the story "they mailed it". This is after the hour before when they told us to come get the darn thing. I will never sell any of my novels with them, buy not one thing from them, ever! I would much rather deal with overstock then Amazon! And..matter of fact, Amazon never really gave me what they owed me as one of their "affiliates". You would be better off to tell Amazon "thanks but no thanks", in doing any form of business with them.
Never used it. I'ts a shame for spanish sites. I never saw it running fine.

Do you have hubs that stay at the bottom of your hub list no matter what you do to them? Is it the unappealing subject matter, boring content, too short, oversaturated topic, poetry, or something else? I have about 5 or 6 at the bottom of my barrel of 83 hubs. I'm curious about why and wonder if...

I'm a bit behind the ball having been absent for a bit and my Amazon earnings have gone way down as a result, so I'm considering switching to the HP Amazon Program and am wondering if in fact most Hubbers are earning more from the HubPages Amazon Program, as it states. I believe when this came out...

Are Amazon and E-Bay Ads no longer permissible on the new Niche Sites, I have not seen any and I keep on hearing that Ads have been snipped from Hubs before articles were moved. If so, is the pay structure identical to that on the Mother Site?

I've been away since last summer due to an accident, surgery, complications due to surgery, etc., etc. I'm now easing myself back into HubPages and catching up on all the changes. I was wondering if anyone has tried adding any Amazon ads to their articles and if so, how that's working out. I used...

The reason I'm wondering is because the advertisements are kind of obtrusive and ugly. I like that they mutable and you can design a product list for them, but I know I have never really even thought about buying something from an Amazon link, and rarely even click them. I was just...

There have been several theories about what content Google is penalising and rewarding in the search results but at the moment it does seem a bit random (from my end). Let's compare notes and hopefully we can see some common threads in there. What content of yours is holding on to its ranking and...
