Amazon commission on products sold externally?

Hi there. When I'm doing my research around the Amazon.com site I often see items advertised exactly as normal on a page, but with this script under the price:

"Ships from and sold by "a company"."

So my question you folks is this. Do these products pay Amazon Associates commission per sale just like their fully internal ones? I've tried looking around on the Amazon site for my answer, but I couldn't get a answer.

    I never sold anything on Amazon, but I am sure it is included. Send them a support ticket to find out for sure.

    yes, if someone sends a person to Amazon through a link to buy that product either through a company or through Amazon. Amazon will pay that person if they are on the Amazon Associate Program.

      No if it is in the section that says "Product Ads From External Websites"

      Yes if it is from third party sellers in the section that says More Buying Choices except they exclude:
      • any Product that, after expiration of the applicable Session, is added to a customer’s Shopping Cart, is purchased by a customer via our 1-Click feature, or is streamed or downloaded by a customer, even if the customer previously followed a Special Link from your site to the Amazon Site;
      • any Product purchase that is not correctly tracked or reported because the links from your site to the Amazon Site are not properly formatted;
      • any Product purchased through a Special Link by you or on your behalf, including Products you purchase through Special Links for yourself, friends, relatives, or associates (e.g., personal orders, orders for your own use, and orders placed by you for or on behalf of any other person or entity);
      • any Product purchased for resale or commercial use of any kind;
