Problems with Amazon Affiliate system

Sorry, but I don't find it normal to have so many addresses, even in different countries. Your description makes you sound like you are a scammer - changing countries, changing addresses, etc.Maybe you aren't, but it sounds sneaky.

Check issuance problems happen every once in a while but no one switches addresses and countries so easily. Maybe Amazon feels the same way and they are deliberately holding back your check while they investigate your sales?

That's one thing to consider.

What's more, I'm getting checks from Comission Junction each month to the same address without a single problem. Take it into account as well.

Sorry, but I have had email ping-pong with Amazon during these months. How do you think? A suspicious account would be considered to be reissued the check by such company? I have been working on a great website which I had to sell due to this problem. I have invested 15K on this website and no payments So, how would you fell? This was a hands-on detailed review website, I hired only pro guys, in order to create something valuable. I didn't get what I invested and I had to sell the website for 1/3 price. Please, try to understand me.

I didn't change address too many times as you mentioned. I was forced to to place there another country Not my choice, trust me, nobody likes to forward the payment, but he's my partner and I trust him, I had to do that. Because when you wait 5 months and you don't get anything you start to blame your country's post office. Now, even when in such country the check has been lost, the country or post office are not even related. That's the question which I myself requested Amazon to investigate personally.

why not open a bank account and get direct deposit.

Well, one support guy told there was a technical problem.He explained, the system was printing the address automatically and the letter count of address line is 35 char only. Mine was a bit bigger. That's why I had to use short address. But despite that, the problem still continues. I'm getting checks from CJ without problems, even years ago, I got my Google Adsense approved to the same address. And unfortunately, there are no BANK option for all countries. I told Amazon to send a check through Fedex, they said all payments are paid equially through regular way. So, that's my case. If something happens, then they have to investigate it. And not resend all time

you might want to try the amazon associates discussion forum. Just log into your dashboard and under the help tab you will see discussion boards. Most Everyone there is a affiliate for amazon, maybe someone there has had the same problem and can offer some advice

This is a part of the message I've got days ago: " Both checks have been mailed to the updated address on file.

It can take up to 4 weeks to receive the new checks. If you don't receive payments by September 15, 2017, please contact us again so that we may investigate further." There are two pending checks actually and the last check was re-sent weeks ago, so for the second check they say, I have to wait till 15.09. Hope, the first one arrives on 5/09.

Okay, if they are submitting the payments repeatedly, it seems there is no problem on your part.

I was just thinking out of the box and looking for possible solutions or reasons that may not be apparent.

Good luck in getting it resolved.

Thank you, Mark. I could easily share screenshots all emails proving that they are really releasing payments each month, but I think this could damage my relationship with amazon. I will update the thread for 5/09. If the problem still persists, then I will use all possible tools and connections to get the problem solved and then I can easily share all proofs and screens.

Thanks again,
Have a nice weekend

The statement above made me go "what"? Partner? Are the checks going to you or to a partner?

It's not that we don't believe you - it's that we can't do anything about it. We are not Amazon. I think you need to find an Amazon forum and see if others in your location have problems receiving payment.

As I've promised, Im updating the thread now:

1. Here is the latest mail from Amazon and according to its content I should wait for my check till September 16



What I understand from this mail is that they have no idea what to do in such cases and they don't care it has been 9 months or 19 months.

What's more, I have contacted USPS and requested ITEM Search. I don't know they will find something or not, but at least, I will know if there was some action taken.

Then, I have found the thread with the similar case but the guy was lucky enough and he solved his problem within 2-3 months. I contacted him and he shared his experience.

More update: Yesterday, to the same address I received my parcel from Israel. And past month, for the same address I received my check payment from other affiliate networks.

The Puzzle that nobody knows how to solve is here I have lost 2 checks and God knows where they are. I will have to move to USA in order to safely get my payments but I promise, as soon as I get my payments I will close amazon account forever.

Time to update the thread: First of all, I have never received any Check till now. I have requested investigation on USPS because on Amazon forums I was told they send the Checks through USPS. Attached is the first email from USPS confirming that they were not able to find anything under my name.


Second, attached is the latest email from Amazon confirming they have re-sent the checks (there are two checks actually that have been lost) on September 18, 2017. I was told to wait till Oct 16 and Today, Oct 18 I confirm that I didn't get a single paper from them.

This case requires a deeper investigation and I'm going to contact the media.



On Amazon forum I opened a thread and people told me that things like this happens but Amazon doesnt care. So, I invest my money, I work hard, I drive sales with only legit strategy and pay Google Adwords, Bing ads and look what's the result.

Or They have never been sending the payment, or the support needs to be fired immediately! Because during 10 months they were not able to investigate and solve the problem.

Who knows how many people lost their payment this way? But tell me why? Maybe I was spending my last money and now I am not able to buy an expensive medicine for my mother who has 4th stage of the cancer?

Do you think I should stop and dont fight for something that is really really mine?

Shame on you Amazon!

And this is Amazon's fault how exactly? Did they coerce you somehow, maybe have a gun to your head? What if you spent all your money and never made a sale? Damn Amazon!

More guns to the head?

Paper checks have a number that is easily traced. If the checks were sent, what happened to them?

You're talking multiple addresses in at least two different countries and multiple re-issued checks.

Good luck with that.

Be human, first of all! Are you a super DC comics hero that never has problems? Can you imagine how many people have lost their payments? If you read the thread more seriously you will find the very interesting detail: On the same country other checks from Amazon also has been lost. I placed an URL of that but that guy was lucky enough and was able to get his payment within two months. And he said, maybe its local post problem? If the son of your bother who is your partner is not a reliable person then to whom do you trust in your life? Your machine? Your mobile? Then what's the meaning of the word "friend"? Amazon was told about the problem, we both thought this could be a post problem and after a consultation the decision to send the check (only once!) to other country was made. Got now? Try to post something useful instead guy! Do you have an idea how many people shared this problem on Facebook? And you're the only one super hero who is talking about the GUN! Bravo! Even trump would not be able post something like this. If i do my best, then take your time to investigate and you didn't you see the UPSP letter attached? How those checks can be tracked if there no tracking number given? USPS is looking for this issue it has been more than a month!

Let's look at where we are...

> Amazon is issuing checks. Sending them to viable addresses where you receive other mail.

> USPS can't find a problem. Once they transfer mail to a foreign mail service, they lose most of their tracking ability.

> Other people have reported problems with Amazon checks in your country.

My guess is that someone is diverting mail from Amazon in the hope of stealing either checks or merchandise. Unsuccessfully, at least with your checks, since Amazon keeps reissuing them rather than reporting that they have been cashed.

Have you explored the possibility of opening a mail drop account in the USA, and having them forward your mail via a more dependable service like FedEx?

I can feel the frustration coming through, but there really isn't much we can offer you as far as unraveling your problem.

You did not answer that question.

Lost in your country - or your 'partner's' country? If checks to a particular country are being lost that could indicate a problem with the country's mail system - not necessarily with Amazon.

I realize you are frustrated - but you need to understand no one here can solve this problem for you. Clearly, something is going wrong but we can't tell you what it is.

I used to be an affiliate for amazon! They paid me 4% commission I believe it was. Then I discovered how to move products from amazon to ebay and I was making over 100% return on some of the items.

You must have a look at this email screenshot

They told me one thing which was not true, then they appoligized and this happens almost every month Can you now understand better my frustrations? Seems a ping-pong never-ending game.

I did give you one possible solution. Open a maildrop account in the USA. A quick search will give you a lot of options. Then you set up forwarding via the courier of your choice.

Another piece of advice, maybe.

Perhaps you could get in touch with the trade department at both your own embassy and the US consulate. Maybe they can help. Or at least offer you more suggestions.

It sounds like Amazon is trying to resolve the situation. As for the error referenced in the email you posted after this, they admitted the error. Are you saying that you've never made a mistake and had to admit it?
