I have just added an Amazon book to one of my hubs. The book was chosen from Amazon UK, and it was available in paperback new from £12.99. When I posted, however, I noticed that the Amazon capsule is advertising the book for sale at $55.87.
Can anyone explain why this happened, please?
Amazon Capsules here on Hubpages are only focused on Amazon.com (US) and not any of the other variants across the globe. So I'm guessing the book switched to the US version and hence the price change and also the currency modification.
Maybe you can still use a link to the UK site, not sure about that (Since it's a referral link) someone else may have to pitch in about the link. But a capsule of the UK site isn't possible. At least not at the present moment.
May be it is due to the site switch and being an Amazon capsule. But, I think that if the Amazon UK made any changes, it will automatically intimate to the concerned advertisers and withdraw previous ads.
You can't use links from Amazon UK in an Amazon capsule, it will only work with Amazon.com (the US site).
I think it may be possible to link to the UK site with a normal link in your text. It will count as your link though.
Thank you everyone for your replies - that has clarified things for me.

I am almost ready to publish a new article, and I want to add two Amazon Capsules. I know how to do it the old way. But I saw on lobobrandon and a few other's hubs a different way. There is just an orange "A" and what looks like a hyperlink, and when clicked, it takes the reader right to...

I am confused by Amazon capsule use. The first time I used it, it was deleted and I found out it was because I didn't actually use the item myself. Okay, makes sense.A couple of days ago I added a capsule to my article because it related to the article and I use the item. I even explained how easy...

I like to add in-text links when I'm talking about certain products as I not only think they are some of the most effective, but also some of the most helpful. What I don't understand is why there is a limit of 2 in-text amazon links whereas we can make a slew of Amazon links using the Amazon...

I think I missed something here but have recently seen some discussions about in-text Amazon links v Capsules. How do you put in text links in, is there a special way? Do I just get the link that I get from Amazon when I go on there and choose the product? Or does this only work for people who have...
