Does anyone know how much Amazon Local charges when a Deal is purchased

Local Deals are like Groupon or Living Social

They don't charge for running your deal on Amazon Local. They only get a commission when it sells but how much.

Thanks in advance

    Thanks,

    But I am not talking about referral commission.

    I mean advertising a Deal like Groupon or Living Social

    They take 50% of the coupon price! Also, they make you offer AT LEAST 50% off of your product or service. They also check into your normal prices so don't even consider raising a price to offer a coupon.

    Honestly, these types of deals can really kill a small business if you aren't careful. Amazon and Groupon will try to convince you that it will be good for your business but it can really sting if you aren't counting on a loss!

    These coupons are best for companies that are looking for STRAIGHT advertising and have a large marketing budget. Also, they are good for restaurants or something like that where the customer is likely to spend another $30 on food and $20 on drinks when they bring your coupon.

    Once your coupon sale is over - Amazon Local will pay you in 4 monthly installments. They also have minimum amount of coupons that you can sell. So let's say your coupon is priced at $50 - they will make you sell 300 of them or something like that as the minimum.
