I've wondered this too. I'd venture to say 'no', you won't get paid, unless the person lands on amazon directly from clicking through your website, every time. Amazon must see the referring site as yours.
Note: Recently, they started allowing direct links on FB and Twitter, so those two are the exception.

Update. Just contacted Amazon. The answer is a big fat NO. It does not count towards a qualifying sale.
Me: Let's say a person goes on my website and clicks a link to be taken to Amazon. The URL has my affiliate tag, and they make a purchase. What happens if user bookmarks the Amazon page and use it later to make purchases?
Amz.: If the site visitor bookmarks your webpage with the link and then when she pulls up the book mark and clicks on your link from the book marked page, then yes it would count towards sales. If someone visits your site and gets directed to Amazon and then book marks Amazon, then you would not receive the commission.

The item needs to be added to cart/purchased in 24 hrs after the visitor arrived on the link. If he/she didn't purchase the item, but added it to the cart, there are usually 90 days until expiry.

If i remember correctly there are cookies that are tracked on the browser of the customer but that might be a long time ago and they might have already updated it.
It's just not fair. At least 30 days would be desirable.
Especially if the goods are expensive. People can not make a decision right away.

Most of amazon’s rules for affiliates arent fair. The way they inconsistently enforce them, isnt fair. A lot of their business tactics arent fair. Life itself isnt fair. Lol.
only if the user put it in the basket?)
