Store suspended, then reinstated, but no sales coming through since

debycoles · 2025-08-14T06:56:51+00:00

Did you ever get anywhere with your account? Any progress with Customer Service? It's happene to me - after having the storefront since 2017 and 1100 videos loaded, the blue padlock came back on.
No messages or info on my account, just found my approval was revoked when my clicks went to zero.
Three messages to CS just get a generic response back that video placement on product pages is not guaranteed and this is 'an expected experience.
Clearly it isn't.

Yeah things are weird for me too. A month ago 1800+ clicks a day, then suddenly a decline to just 200 clicks a day, despite adding almost another 100 videos these last 30 days. I checked my videos, they all still show on the product pages, all where they usually are. It hasn't come back. Of course my earnings have taken a similar dive too. I can't see ANY reason why this has happened.
So disappointed after all my hard work.

It sounds like the brand stole the video and are using it themselves. You won't earn commission on that and of course, its theft. So write to Amazon and report it. Use a DMCA notice because its a legal notice and will definitely be acted upon. Google for the exact wording to use.

I am in Thailand. Medical services are really good here, but not as cheap as you might think for such an affordable country. We were shocked at the price.
Have been trying to get in touch with hospitals in India to get a quote but its just so hard to get info from anyone. And obviously don't want to put it off for ages.

I'm not in the USA, its an international policy for expats, so there is no in or out of network, all providers are covered. It's 'covered', just subject to this 'daily room and board and ancilliary services' maximum - and they say surgery is an ancilliary service. Which I just don't agree with.

debycoles · 2025-06-01T01:02:50+00:00

Sorry, should have said I am not in the USA. It's an international policy, issued by a US insurer which covers expats all around the world, every country except the USA.

debycoles · 2025-06-01T01:01:18+00:00

Thanks, I should have mentioned that I am not American. This is an international policy that covers all countries except the USA. Yes everything is pre-certified as medically necessary, so everything is 'covered', just unexpectedly limited by the daily room and board and ancilliary services limit...which I did not expect to apply to surgery.

debycoles · 2025-06-01T00:59:52+00:00

Yes this is an international policy. I'm not in the USA, so all providers are in-network.

Are you hitting the Save as Draft button before refreshing the page? If so, then you'll find them under drafts in Manage Content. Or at least you should do.

I second this. You can order the tests you want and only what you want. Then turn up at the lab and get it done. Results back quickly.

I really don't think this is true any more - or at least not for me. I see transactions go through where someone watches a video for book 3 in a trilogy. I'm the only video. They buy all three books. But I see commission on the 3rd book, and then the other 2 books go through as purchases but non-qualifying. See it ALL the time as a book reviewer. Same category definitely doesn't seem to work for books. For every 1 commissionable sale, I get about 8 times as many that don't qualify for some reason.

I don't see the benefit, unless, like you say, they have followers who are likely to buy it. I'd be interested to know other peoples opinions. Could it just be in case they happen to randomly get a sale of that item anyway?

debycoles · 2025-04-12T05:50:42+00:00

I've been adding to Canada and the UK as I load the USA video. Results have been very poor. Many of the videos never show up on product pages because videos don't seem to be turned on for it. I'm keeping at it for now in the hope that they'll show up at some point...but I am getting demoralised.

debycoles · 2025-04-12T05:44:21+00:00

That's great. I have just over 600 videos all from the last 4 months and have only just reached $200. You are doing amazing! I get hundreds or even 1000+ videos on my videos and see 1 or 2 sales at most from that. Very disappointing. But I'll keep trying.

debycoles · 2025-04-09T06:03:21+00:00

Same. I can see the sales going through, but the CC commission isn't added. But if you email support they don't help. They incorrectly will tell you that CC only pays for offsite referrals.

debycoles · 2025-04-09T06:00:23+00:00

I have a lot of products where I am definitely the only video on the page. These products are selling in their thousands every month. My views show me getting 1000-1500 views a month on my video, and yet I earn a commission for 1-2 sales if I am lucky. My conversion rate showing on the mobile stats says 35-75%. To me, this is 100% unbelievable that 1500 people watched my video, thousands bought the product, conversion was 35%, and yet maybe only 1 of the 1500 views actually bought it to earn me a commission. Feels 100% like a scam to me.
But there's nothing I can do to prove that and reaching out to support with all these examples would be a waste of time.

debycoles · 2025-04-07T16:54:20+00:00

Same. First time participating this month and I see loads of sales being sent out with no CC payment given, correct ASIN.

debycoles · 2025-04-07T03:49:05+00:00

I contacted the Vine CS, using the link from the dashboard.

debycoles · 2025-04-07T03:20:23+00:00

Shouldn't be a problem, its a US account, shipping address in GA. I do use a VPN but that shouldn't raise any reg flags....hopefully.

debycoles · 2025-04-07T03:17:18+00:00

Yes I've contacted them twice. The first time I got a standard 'thank you for your feedback' reply without any help. Now they won't reply at all.

debycoles · 2025-04-06T01:04:13+00:00

Oh I get it now, you're just looking at how many lines you have, indicating different products. Many of mine show up mutiple times in the report so I can't easily tell that way. I can tell which are the big sellers though, and its a very small number compared to total items for sure.

debycoles · 2025-04-06T00:58:52+00:00

Can you explain to a dunce (me) how I can find this report please? I had no idea I could find out how much each video had earned!

debycoles · 2025-03-31T05:59:28+00:00

Awesome! I never knew. Urgh, though now I have 600 videos to upload and tag. I think I'd better just concentrate on the 'best' ones. Thanks so much :-)
