View Full Version : BD shop with amazon
Just noticed this, am I the only one that is oblivious to everything. How long has it been up their?
I buy loads of stuff from there, so will be using this from now on. How much do you actually make. I bet you need 10's of thousands of sales to pay for this place.

It hasn't been up there long, I suspect Jamie will put up a thread soon to explain how it all works but essentially the board gets a little commision on every sale and it shouldn't effect the prices you pay in anyway, so if you are going to make a purchase anyway it will help us out if you use the BD gateway :)

There is a forum announcement :)
It's been there for just under a week I think and every little helps :)
yeah, but who notices them. It's like sticky threads. Never noticed.

o/ I do.
o/ I do.
Me too :D Certainly on a smaller forum like this where I figure they're more relevant to me.
I assume this will work fine even when using Amazon vouchers? Got a few on my account at the moment so will make sure to go through the BD link when I do :)
o/ I do.
Teachers pet. :p
I read it too :) and noticed the new icon.

I read it too - it appeared the day after we spent £200 at amazon!

I noticed it too, not sure if I'll be buying anything from Amazon for a while, but will certainly use the link when I do :)
I never noticed it :o although the last thing I bought through amazon I returned and got a full refund anyway!
Not read the announcement yet, but it's in normal type not bold as though I have???

I bought something through it the day before yesterday :)

Is it just a fixed referral fee or linked to the price of the item?
Linked to the price as a percentage.

Thought it might be you :p
It doesn't show any other details but does show the product.

Excellent.
I can still buy ' Bangkok Bukkake Babes Glass Coffee Table Shatfest ' with complete anonymity then.
Buy that and you get ' Ooh, Where's Me Kitkat ' for half price.
You could try....but I KNOW there'd only be one person on here who would buy that.
Thanks for posting this, I didn't notice the sticky before. :o
Just bought a bunch of CDs, hope it worked ok!

Obviously i'm trying to stop myself nonchalantly buying rude things to raise giggles... Its difficult though :(
Does the commission still apply if they get sent back? :evil: ;D
When you see the obscure/scary engineering books flooding through you'll know it's me ;)

Will check it out later :)
I'm thinking we need the announcements in a different colour :D

No idea. Why don't you order £5k worth of goods and we can test it.

Hehehehe, along with books about exploding things and old cars.
is there no wya you can add sort by price and search without selecting a catogry.
Will check the options, although I don't think I can. I've found it best to look for the product on the main Amazon site and then search for it on the BD shop and buy through there. It should track the cookie fine.
That's what I just did. £110 spent :) Not sure what that gives but hopefully useful :)
Can't see anything tracking for that amount at the moment but not sure when it all updates.
I've found out that they cap each referral at £7 which is about £140+ spend.
Not much but it all helps.
Iphone car stuff and a cook book.
So it's about 5% then, do you get commission on teh postage as well. or just item value.
Just item value as far as I'm aware.
Just noticed on the page that the tracking is only up until yesterday so I guess it updates overnight :)

There'll be a tiny amount of commission from my recent purchases hopefully although a fair few of the things I wanted weren't available except in the full store - the search engine doesn't seem happy to do its thing unless you give it a category to search in either which is a little bit odd.
Hopefully mine went through, spent about £20 last week.
wow. just got an email with a 1337 amount of money in the form of amazon vouchers from a mate for my bday.
might need to check our shop out for this one... might get Red Dead on there

Read this the other day, Amazon's not on any of the cashback referral sites so it's a pretty good choice.
Now that you're getting referral money, any chance you could fix the password resetting thing at all? :p:/
Every little helps, just bought a pair gloves through it :)

Forgot to mention, spent nearly £400 on there t'other day. Hope I used the shop right.
Nice one people :)
Every little helps (not sure where I've heard that before :p)
I am about to buy a book from amazon. Will the tracking from BD appear on the invoice/receipt?
BB x
Nope, it all goes through like a normal transaction. BD will not be mentioned at any stage at all :)
Cool... well I 'think' I did it... maybe :/
Lol!

so how much have you made in the last few weeks and how much do these forums cost. If people keep it up, will you have enough?
I have almost 30,000 Nectar points. That equates to a lot of Amazon vouchers. May have to use some soon!

Of all the orders despatched and referral money actually through, it's currently just under £19 but will be a bit more on current orders in the system. The forums are on shared hosting so hard to say a set cost but we also have the vb license to take in to account as well. Got no idea how much we'd get throughout the year, but if there is surplus after everything is covered then we'll probably chuck up a "vote for charity" thread or something similar :)
Don't forget referral maxes out at around orders of £125 so split big order down in to smaller ones ;D
I'm only joking by the way. Don't inconvenience yourself :p
Got it wrong, it's currently at £28.34 in total since starting. I was looking at just the last month before.
Not sure it's been asked - I need a new UPS battery and it looks like it's going to be a Marketplace seller. Do those count?
Yep, third party sales count as well :)
Cool. Just need to find £90 now. :)
The same way I found £70 this morning would be very nice.

Had my Freeloader Pro delivered this morning, ordered through the shop. should show up soon?
Yup, it's on the list. Thanks for the £2.65 ;D
Shopped. Seems to work OK. Got two more lined up where that came from (when the plastic can take some more). :)

Nice one, i have a few thing to order from them.. Don't think they'll stock Anal Angels and Nypho Nuns though!

;D
edit: Amazon reviews are amazing
Bringing the forum into disrepute! ;D
Is that even possible? ;D
Hehehehe, along with books about exploding things and old cars.
But that could be me, too. :evil:
Damnit, I just bought a load of stuff and forgot about this :(
I bought my canon 5dmkii from them last year!
Quidco is now available through Amazon. Is that possible through the BD shop also somehow?

I got that email, but if I search on quidco, Amazon isn't listed :confused:
Amazon are only doing voucher deals through Quidco so if you want to save £1 on orders over £4 on mp3's, knock yourself out :D
Have some more money,
so is this a success then and making a decent dent in the bills?
Yeah, it's doing well so far :)
We'll easily cover what we had in previous donations and maybe pull in a little more. Once the hosting comes up again I'll tot up what we had in and with whatever is left over, maybe set up a poll to chose a charity.
I remembered to buy something through the BD shop!!! :D

Arg, i ALWAYS forget this! :(
Forgotten about this as well, seems for some time as well 2010 :o
Ordered a load of Olympics stuff, and remembered - for once. Hope it worked.

Oh booooooooooooooo, as usual, I've probably lost count of how much I've ordered from amazon since my last post here! Yet never used this one!!!! :(
Ordered a few bits over the summer using it, hopefully it worked ok :)
Remembered when I ordered something today..... hopefully I did it right! :)
I've been better at this too and make sure I use it as much as I can :)

I've tried to remember when I've been ordering as well, I doubt it's helped much but it's better than nothing. If it's near time for licence renewal and there isn't enough from this then do say, I'd be happy to chip in a bit. :)
Forgot to use it today. D'oh!

Ordered so much stuff recently and forgot! :(
I've used it too. It's now my Amazon bookmark :-)
Pretty sure I've remembered the last couple of times I've bought through Amazon. :)
Crapasaurus, I keep forgetting. Doesn't work on Kindle books does it?

I've used it too. It's now my Amazon bookmark :-)
I did that too and have finally remembered to order through BD. I've ordered about £300 of stuff over the past couple of days so that should get the forums a few bob :)
I spent about 200 on the lightning deals but not sure if it worked.
Can't get this to format properly, but it gives you an idea....

Looks unlikely it worked then?
I believe you have to add things only via the BD shop, which rules out lightning deals (at least as far as I'm aware). Pity, because I spent a similar amount.
I went to the item via the BD shop with a referral url and it showed the current price, which was the reduced one. If you go directly to an item it says 'currently available on special offer' with the reduced price. So it *should* work, no?
I could post up everything bought but didn't think it would be fair to make somebody admit to buying the Black Mamba 2000 and 5 litre tub of KY ::/:
You mean you didn't want to have to own up?
I see that the shop still works. :)
It certainly does :)
I still often place orders through it.
I put an order through twice last night - got the delivery address wrong the first time so doubt they'll pay, but you never know! ;D

I think I put an order through last week, if not payday I deffo will! :D
Have put a few things through recently. Hope it's still working!
