Im curious..how does buying it thru the link help the community? It's not bad - Im just wondering how it works.

The Tag that you press above has an ID in it. That ID is applied the credit of the sale. A percentage of that sale is put into an account. When that percentage hits $100.00 (thats what I set it at.) they send a check to me. That check is applied to the Monthly/Yearly bills for the server.

The difference here is that I can link direct item sales vrs having some link that would promote a site that is selling plat or character sales which tho I see several other sites doing. I just don't think it is necessary at this time; So looking at a couple sites like Graffe's; its less intrusive to the population and Amazon allows me to put items out that people want to buy like the Expansion packs for Everquest, Everquest 2, World of Warcraft; etc. In any event every little bit helps.

Also the more people who click the link - the more % per item we get from my understanding. IE: Basically it needs to be several different people vrs 1 person constantly clicking the link.

You would think Amazon would have a Canadian outlet by now.

PS: Storm don't point out my mistakes.. Change them .. YOU HAVE THE POWA! :banghead:

P.S.S.: I know its more fun dogging me in front of 100,000 Lurkerz!

Amazon does ship to Canada... not sure if you have to specifically use Amazon.ca though. My parents have gotten a few things through them. But maybe that link-deal only works with US orders?
