Amazon and Craigslist

Does anyone know if it is against amazon TOS to advertise on craigslist?

I mean if someone had a website that had an amazon shopping cart on it and they got traffic from craigslist would that be a problem?

    All traffic to Amazon should come from your site. How you drive traffic to your site is up to you, however, craigslist "surfers" are notorious for reporting affiliates. Additionally, if you post too often or in regions outside of your home area you may get ghosted by craigslist. I would chose another form of advertising if I were you.

      Does that mean the craigslist account can be banned or amazon's?

    So what I am understanding is that it isn't against amazon's TOS?

      Keep in mind that most non-local advertising on Craigslist is against Craigslist's TOS and if you do advertise in that way on Craigslist I suppose Amazon may say, the traffic was obtained via spam (which I believe is against their TOS) or via a method that violated 3rd party TOS. I suppose it's up for interpretation, but if you are looking to be safe, I'd avoid it.

    I found nothing in amazon's TOS as u doubt. U may go through the TOS of amazon again and if find nothing like this just forget it.

    Hope for the best.
