Hi!
Since I'm not from US. I receive the commission from Amazon by check. But, I wonder if there is another way to get the money?

      Maybe that was a stupid question by me, but it's really annoying that they don't support direct deposit to affiliates living outside U.S.

      I was just hoping for tips about how to "walk around" that problem and it would be nice to hear how other affiliates from other countries than U.S, have solved that problem.

        From their help page...

        "What payment methods are available?

        We pay you referral fees on a monthly basis. Approximately 60 days after the end of each month, we will either send you a check, send you an Amazon.com Gift Certificate (subject to our standard terms and conditions), or deposit your fees directly into your bank account.

        If you wish to use direct deposit, you will have to tell us the name of your bank, whether your account is checking or savings, your account number, your bank's nine-digit routing number, and the name of the primary account holder as it appears in the bank's records.

        If you are being paid by Amazon.com Gift Certificate or direct deposit, we will not send payment until the total amount due is at least $10. If you are being paid by check, we will not send payment until the total amount due is at least $100. Please note that we will also deduct an $15 processing fee from all checks we send you. If your billing address is outside the United States, and direct deposit is, therefore, unavailable to you, we will waive the $15 fee. There is no processing fee for payment via gift certificate or direct deposit."

    same prob here. getting payments in check, but didn't find any work around. Would be very helpful though if it was possible.

    Why can't they pay through Paypal?

    A lot of sites refuse to pay international affiliates via Paypal. It's frustrating, but you just have to work around it for now.

    I heard that Payoneer can be a good solution (don't really know much aside from that, Google it if you're interested) for getting paid directly by US sites without the hassle of depositing cheques. Hope that helps someone.

    Well, I got my check in a timely manner so there are no problems there. But I would be really happy if i receive my commissions through paypal.

      Thanks everyone for your answers! It feels good to know that I'm not the only one that prefer another solution.
