    I noticed that a recent amazon payment - it was only twenty cents - was a negative.  In other words, it took money away from me.  Does anyone else have this experience and why does it happen?

      Someone returned an item that they'd purchased via your link sad

      well it almost sounds like it is not worth it to have an amazon account

        Amazon Prime is still good! big_smile

        Amazon sales on HP were once a good thing.

        It's not.
        I gave up on Amazon a long time ago. It was a waste of time even putting Amazon links/info in my articles, I never made any money from it, so I stopped.

          Three good Amazon hubs can make as much as fifty Hub ads articles. But yeah, it's way more difficult nowadays. I earn a tiny fraction of the Amazon revenue that I used to.

      It seems there's no down side for adding amazon links since you could get the occasional sale. I'm just wondering if it's seo friendly

        Including Amazon product links in your articles can be lucrative. I suggest picking an item and writing an honest review with original photos. Don't write about items you don't have any experience with. Product articles need to be genuine. A genuine review is more likely to generate a sale. Don't do the spray-and-pray approach and randomly place Amazon links in articles hoping for a sale. This will not work and is not allowed.

    Like Bev (theraggededge) says, it's a returned item. It's annoying, but that's how Amazon do things. You should be able to find what was returned in the stats somewhere.

    At the start of a month on my personal (non-HP) Amazon account, I can sometimes start out in the negative, if one or more returned items from the previous month show up.

    I don't know what would happen if I finished the month in the negative, would they try to bill me? Probably not, but it's a funny thought... big_smile

    I can’t even remember when I last had an Amazon sale…must have been six months ago at least. I rarely even bother adding an Amazon link anymore to new articles.
