Cheaper Amazon - 5 percent discount on ANY product This is kind of like the Fat Loss Factor rebates, but this site has been up for more than 6 months i think, just asking if that is allowed.

    I would very much doubt it.

    I think if Amazon saw that it would be closed down pretty quickly.

    100% not allowed. It goes against Amazon's ToS and they'd shut it down in a heartbeat.

    You only get one shot at life - make it awesome.

    Everyone else also gets just one crack at it - help make theirs awesome too... or, politely step out of their way.

    I doubt that it is allowed. Amazon will very soon realized and shut it down.

    It is a clever cash back program from an amazon affiliate...I do not see why he would be doomed... he is promoting products off of his affiliate links and gives back percentile manually off of his earnings...

    Kudos.... In My Book!

      Cheers,
      If you were Amazon you would think differently about things.

      He is offering a price cheaper than Amazon so how can they possibly compete with that?

      You don't have affiliates so you have to compete with them... you have them so they reach customers you wouldn't otherwise reach yourself.

      They most definitely will not allow a site like that and when they find out his earnings will likely be forfeited.

    I see you have Amazon in your domain, you wouldn't be in China would you?

    Plus, he/she has Amazon in the domain name, which is 100% not allowed.

    Ha ha ha.

    Calling it Amazon - maybe Amazon might take issue with that?

    Giving money back is a cool idea, but would probably be against Amazon's Ts & Cs.

    The domain was registered in 1995 and it's registered with Godaddy. Guess it doesn't make many sales?
