What % of the sell on Amazon is yours? It appears to be about 1%? - am I reading the reports wrong or is that rally all you get? I sold 3 items and they were shipped- my earning however state less than $5.00?
I believe the percentage you recieve is between 1-6% for the first 7 items you sell then your percentage increases as you sell more items. If you search nellie hoxie under hubbers she would be better to help as she is genius at product sales.
Generally, you receive 4% to 8.5% of sales, depending on how many things you sell. There are a few exceptions, like computers with a $25 cap, electronics are always at 4%, etc.
See this chart for more information.
Hi Paula,
Here is a complete list of the compensation rates:

The more items you sell, the higher your commission will go on most products. It begins at 4% each month and increases with more sales.
If you're asking about people clicking through and then buying other items - out of about 50 items sold through my amazon affiliate links, I think only about 3-5 items were ones I actually had displayed on my hubs.
The other day I sold a vacuum cleaner - I don't have a single hub to do with cleaning products!
(Also, if you click on your reports, you'll see a list of the items sold and can click through to see how much they are worth.)
Thanks WryLilt for the information... just wrote a hub on the same..
Thank you all- still new to actual sales! But am glad I'm getting some!

Hi everyone. If you have ordered items on amazon, but they are not what you were trying to sell do you still earn money? if so what percent? I think the normal is 4% but is this only on items sold that you are promoting? Thanks

I have been keeping a close eye on my Amazon sales and shipments by displaying the Earnings Reports to show Amazon "All Time" and it shows that 10 items never were shipped yet. Seven (7) of those 10 items are pending shipment for over two weeks now, and maybe much longer. I can't...

Hi. I wonder if anyone could tell me what type of products (eg. text books, music CDs, earrings...) sell through Amazon Associates units on Hubpages and similar sites so that I can create a few hubs with this in mind. No one in my family ever buys anything online except for professional guide...

This may be old news, but news to me if they have changed. I thought authors received 60% and HP 40%. That is not how it is playing out in my Ad Program breakdown. SO have I got something wrong? Thanks in advance.

We have another thread connected to this, but no-one from the staff side has responded. The recent changes in the structure of Amazon commission seem to have had a detrimental affect. While the number of sales has not decreased, earnings have halved this month.89 shipped sales (103 total sales so...
