Okay, I just checked my Amazon report and it indicates that the total number of items shipped is 115. On the next line it says that I can increase my referral rate to 7% by referring one more item.
The Performance Fee Structure indicates that 7% starts at 111 items. Why, then, is it saying that I won't get 7% until item 116?? The only thing I can think of is that maybe 5 of the items shipped were from orders actually placed in September - could that be the reason? If so, I didn't think it worked that way - I thought it was simply based on the number of items shipped in the given month...
Anyone have any answer or insight on this??
Dang, I tried to input the fee structure chart here, but I can't seem to figure out how!
Did you "carry forward" some items from the last month - ordered but not shipped? That will account for the difference.
Apparently you didn't read my whole post (not trying to be a smart-ass) because I did say that maybe that was the reason but I couldn't find anywhere where it says that and it wouldn't seem fair. I thought that the commission rate is determined by the number of items shipped in a given month irrespective of when it was ordered...
(is irrespective a word? It sure sounds right!)
Mea culpa
I had the same issue - 3 items carried forward from last month - 113 items shipped this month, I still needed to refer one more item for 7%. The only explanation seemed to be those three items ordered last month but shipped this month.
Sounds like you are on to something, you better call them in and get your money! Thats all it comes down to, to me.
Yup - I did post the question on the Associate discussion boards and I sent an email to Amazon's Customer Service asking them as well...now it's a waiting game. Hopefully they will be better at responding to Assocoates than they are to normal "members" - when someone hacked my Amazon account two months ago I could not get anyone from Amazon to contact me after repeated attempts - shame!
Hi Lily Rose..morning. My referral rate is 6 percent and I need to refer 13 more so that it will be 6.5 it said. I can't help you with the prob, sorry. I hope you sorted out that prob sooner Lily and Congrats for the amazon sales!
Mine is showing the same actually, maybe they have just changed the structure a little. It's kind of messed up but the good news is you should be able to make the last sale you need before month end.
I sold 15 items yesterday so I'm waiting for the shipped items to sail past that mark right now!
Hey Oli! If they changed teh fee structure without telling us or even updating it on their site, that's f**ked up! If that's the case I will be upset...
I sold 12 things yesterday, so at least one of them better be shipped today to get me that 7% - this will be my first 7% month!!
Lily Rose, percentages and payouts are based on what ships, not what is ordered. How many items have shipped?
Hi Lily,
The best thing to find out is to email them and since you already did, so wait and see. I already pass 115 mark so and I can't remember when they adjust my fee structure to 7% so I can't help you.
Very cool, sounds like a weird glitch. At least you don't have to worry about fighting to get the correct percentage in your payout. I am not quite to 7% myself, but finding my sales inching closer every month.
I've had 93 items shipped this month, and it is telling me I must refer another 19 items to get 7%....which is what? 112?
Not going to make it even if they ship all the other items ordered this month tomorrow
So close....yet so far!
I don't understand what they are doing then when yours said 115+ before it went up to 7%.

Just a report of a possible glitch in the new program. I signed up, I think, on the 16th of the month, and the 17th shows two shipments. The 18th also shows a shipment, so the system is working.The 18th also shows a sale, and shipment of that sale, in my Amazon account - something that...

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 have a question about the Amazon referral rate. When do you move up to the next tier of referral rate? Right now I'm at 4% and I could have sworn that when I last saw my earnings report a few days ago, it said I needed 2 more referrals (I had sold 4 items prior to that) to...
by LindaSmith1 9 years ago
I know it can take up to 7 days for an ordered product to be shipped out, and that Amazon does not show ordered product on earnings report until it is shipped out. My estimation is that it has been 7 days since product was ordered, but earnings report still does not show it. If somebody...

Once you get your first 7 orders completed, and your commission rate jumps to 6%, does it stay there forever? Or does it reset each month?Also, do you have to get all seven orders in one month to meet the criteria for increased commission?Thanks.
by Mieka 14 years ago
It was directly related to one of my hubs, and I'm sooo happy right now. It was only a rather cheap dvd though, so the commission is probably not too high.And how long does it take before you will know if an order is actually shipped and so you will get that commission?
