We Got Unbanned From Amazon’s Affiliate Program

Earlier this month we let readers know that we were banned from Amazon’s affiliate program. I’m pleased to announce that we’ve been unbanned and previous earnings have been reinstated as well. Before the conspiracy theories kick in (e.g they banned you specifically for Prime day), I don’t think anything malicious was done here. We still have our earnings from Prime day for example.

I’d like to thank all of the readers that reached out with support, whether it be words or actively contacting Amazon on our behalf. I actually see this as a somewhat positive, I think we were able to prove to some readers that we post certain deals because we find them interesting for readers rather than because we are paid a commission. Obviously some people will still remain skeptical, but there is nothing we can really do about that.

We’ve added our Amazon and eBay shopping links back. You’ll find it on every DoC page for easy access.

On computer it’s in the right sidebar of every page (lower down on the page).
On mobile it’s on the bottom of every page.

We always appreciate those who support the site and thanks for all the good wishes in the comments here!

Any help how to reach Amazon?

We set up a registry on Amazon, returned 1 item. Placed an order for a replacement using the money from the return. Account locked due to fraudulent gift cards, that they gave us when we returned the item. We called several times, supervisor says to call back in 2 business days. This has been going on for a week now.

And if you were to post deals just for the commission, who cares? You’re providing ridiculously valuable content for free. If a reader isn’t interested, they can just keep scrolling.

Money grubbing businesses like amazon come and go, but an Institution like The Doctor Of Credit will live on and on!
