Need Help from experienced Amazon Affiliates

I really appreciate if anyone can help answer my question. I'm very new to amazon associates.

Earnings report states that my advertising fee to date is $121, but my payment history only indicate a balance of $15.39. How much do I really earn? I was tracking my earnings report and I thought I can finally get my first check this month. Then an amazon email said I only have $15.39. What? I'm confused.

    check you're filtering dates correctly in the associates area. $121 might be for the quarter, $15.39 might be for the month.

    Amazon has a 2 month "hold" period (to allow for refunds) before paying.

    So, if you're looking at your sales/earnings right now for January, you'll see those. But, all sales in January will get lumped together, and not paid to you until the end March.

    If you're looking at the payment they just sent out email about today, it should match with your Nov, 2011 sales.
