The latest (unannounced change) to their product feed is nonsensical....

Any product that is priced lower than the minimum advertised price that has been specified by the manufacturer will now return a OurPrice: 'too low to display' message.

What!?!? :mad:

Less infuriating news about Amazon's affiliate program is they're removing earning caps for all products (except personal computers).

Growth targets are nice. I'm at 300% too and will hit 400% tommorow.

The lack of caps has me real excited, I sell alot of capped power tools.

Yeah, I will probably just about hit 400% by the end of the month. No caps will be great!

400% means for every $10 product sold you get $40 commision? That must be wrong...

Assuming the item is eledgible for bonus, you get a 400% bonus on the normal payout.

So, if you normally get $1 on a $10 item you get a 400% bonus on the $1 not the $10. So it ends up being $4 or 40%.
