Hi everybody,

This subjects comes up often I know but there are 3 elements involved here and it is still NOT clear. Here are the 3 elements:
  1. The country of the products (listed in the country amazon.???)
  2. The country of the affiliate ID
  3. The country of the client purchasing an item on your Amazon site
Case Study 1:

I am a US affiliate and a Canadian affiliate as well and I include only my US affiliate ID in my products links.
I create a US Amazon.com review site with products available and ripped from amazon.com site.
An American US citizen buy the product by following my link.
OK, I get a commission from Amazon.com

Case Study 2:

I am a US affiliate and a Canadian affiliate as well and I include only my US affiliate ID in my products links..
I create a US Amazon.com review site with products available and ripped from amazon.com site.
A Canadian citizen buy the product by following my link.
Too bad, I DON'T get the Amazon.com commission

Case Study 3:

I am a US affiliate but also a Canadian Amazon affiliate as well and I decide to put only my Canadian Amazon affiliate ID in the products link.
I create a US Amazon.com review site with products available and ripped from amazon.com site.
A Canadian citizen buy the product by following my (Canadian affiliate ID) link.
Will I get the Amazon.com commission???:confused:

I know there are Wordpress Amazon plugins that enables you to add as many countries affiliate IDs you want (like "Buy from US", "Buy from Canada", etc.) but if the products you are selling all come from the US amazon.com site, what are the benefits of doing so?

The main problem with Amazon is that ALL the products are available from the US amazon.com site and that most of the products found on US amazon.com site don't even exist on the other amazon.??? countries.

What if I want to create a Canadian Amazon.ca site but I DON'T find the products that where available on the US Amazon.com site? Am I screwed?

This amazon limitation is soooooooo frustrating!

Thanks for your help.
