International Amazon Affiliate Payments

by dahlgren_m

Hi guys,

Currently I am getting paid from Amazon.com by check, since I live in Norway I'm not eligible for direct deposit.

Does anyone have experience with amazon.com payments outside the US?

Is it possible to get a mastercard/credit card from a us bank and deposit the amazon payments there?

Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

PS. Getting paid outside US by check means that I have to wait 3-4 months before my payment reach my bank account after making a sale.

    Takes less than a week for a check to come from US to EU. And around 14 days to withdraw.

    i dont think you could get US bank account, but even with that you need to wait 2 months before u can get your money. i think that biger problem with cheque is cash in fee in some countries. and whem cheques start to flow you will have every month some to cash in (if you earn more than 100$).
    So only start until you start geting cheques is pain

    cheers

      Yes, and add another 2 months from sale to payment.

      Cash in fee is not the biggest issue it's around 10$ in my bank, and thats not bad at all. I'm ramping up pretty fast with Amazon these days, but I'm a bit restricted because of the cashflow.

      Maybe when I do 4-5 figures a month they make an exception.

    Maybe the solution is: don't depend on them to live.
    Make your online payments your best hand, give them almost all your attention, then you won't be anxious about waiting Amazon's checks.
    Thats how I see it.

      i agree on that but those checks come like nice bonus for newbie like me
      if i would do some adsense sites i would have to mess around with checks again.
      and for me is even more complicated as my country is not suported by paypal.

    I can't even sign up for Amazon Affiliates and I'm in the United States! This is because I'm in Arkansas and they have some weird tax laws.
