PPC is against their TOS.

You need to put your links on a domain that Amazon has reviewed and accepted.

will work with a cloak but need your own host and website then a landing page for the products.
The 30 day was always only for the product the user added directly and nothing else, rest has always been 24 hrs only

FYI, this is completely against their TOS. In fact, only FB and Twitter are allowed to have outbound links which directly go to Amazon. ALL other links from searches, online ads, or any other social media such as Tumblr, Pinterest, etc. must link back to your site only, and absolute cannot link directly to Amazon.
In other words, all users who land on Amazon must come directly from your site. Cloaking is also strictly forbidden. When they review your site after your first three 'qualifying' sales, it is a billion-to-1 they will approve you. Thus you won't see any disbursement, even if you rack in 1000 sales.
Just read a post yesterday on a site about a guy who was banned. Reason they gave was that his direct-to-Amazon links started showing up in search results. He didn't realize posting direct links was a huge no-no and was posting his direct-to-Amazon links all over non-fb and non-twitter social media accounts.

Interesting. Their customer service online chat people must not provide good info then. Had a girl tell me only FB and Twitter were approved for allowing direct links. Probably why they provide the share links for these two on the site stripe. I'd be skeptical to try the others as I'm worried about getting banned. Please let us know how it goes. I hope it goes well for you

Op I won't spend on ads for a low commission from Amazon and its very unstable ROI.I rather use free traffic.

Its not allowed actually. Amazon will catch this up and ban your account but do not worry it wont happen any time sooner.
Unless you start earning like 3 or 4 figures they wont even care.

I hope it's not allowed. Anyway would like to see results..I'm directly posting links via automation to one of my FB page with 3k followers. I'm getting minimum 75 clicks per day, but you know $0 in sales. Lol...And the worst part is it's India traffic...
