   I just got a $15 commission on an item that sold for $12.99. My 60% share was $7.79:::but the percentage was 196.46%. That couldn’t be a mistake, could it?

      I strongly suspect this is a computer glitch.  They are not going to pay you more of a commission than the amount a buyer paid for a product.  Fun to think about, but don't get your hopes up!

   Happy Thanksgiving! I'd wait and see want happens before spending the $7.21. There might be a correction soon. But, awesome on the sale!

   Take a closer look. Maybe they purchase multiple quantities.

   No, I got $15– (7.79 x 196%) and the buyer only paid 12.99.  This could be bad for Amazon.

   No, Glenn it was one item but the rate was extraordinarily high.

   OK —I’m thinking that they are just feeling bad about paying low rates on other sales. Lol.

      I think that is a great idea. Imagine Bezos sitting around, feeling guilty, and a light bulb going off over his head. "Hey, I have an idea, why dont I pay more comission to my independent sales staff."
      The truth is he would probably call down to another office "Hey lackey, send out 1000 Amazon gift cards to my best customers. I am feeling a little down today."

   I know, TT-- just thought I'd have some fun with it. I think someone might be tasting the basting sherry.

      Actually, I've had similar things happen to my numbers a few times...kind of exciting at first,but a real downer when they make corrections!

         Well, it has been marked with the ever-ominous  asterisk (incomplete or unaudited earnings, value may change)" notice for a few days, but that is gone now.
         I guess I should just be quiet about it. After all, if they insist on a rate of 192+% it would be impolite to decline.

   Weird thing is, I had six or seven other sales on the same day--one was even for the same amount-- and all of those looked normal.

   I reported it to HP and they said,"Looks like this was an error in your favor on Amazon's part."
   
   It's still there. I wonder if HP got the same rate on their share.

      I would guess so. You can actually see the total earnings and your share on the report.

            This is in response to "I wonder whether HP got the same rate on their share" You can also see HPs share. Total Revenue and Your Revenue.
