Hi. My question is to all Indians who are into US Amazon Associates. How do you get paid? The simple answer is cheque but it takes a lot of time to arrive and sometimes get lost. If you are earning $3-4k per month then is Cheque the only option or are there other methods like Bank Transfer or Payoneer?

Payoneer...But I got checks only...Yes, it'll get delayed.
 
Taken from their site:

Payoneer customers in India have a limit of $10k per transaction. Payoneer customers globally do not have any limitations on the amt of payments recd via the Global Payment Service.
 
I had tried adding payoneer some time back but wasn't successful. I contacted Payoneer support and they replied - "
Please note, Payoneer doesn't support receiving payments via Amazon affiliates. At the moment only sellers accounts are supported.
We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Hello! I am a VIP Payoneer affiliate and I can contact my account manager. Should I get in touch and clarify this?

You can ask them again but Amazon has not officially added Payoneer as a payment option for affiliate payments. It is only available for sellers. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201990250

That's because it's not how it is supposed to be done. :)

Amazon doesn't support Payoneer directly for affiliates. That's correct.

So how it is done?

You need to have a Payoneer account, but you also need to apply for their Global Payment Service in USD, so you will have a US bank account, where Amazon can send you the payments via ACH.

I have it set up this way on Amazon Merch and you can find other mentions too on the forum about this.
 
I also use Payoneer.
Activate the US bank thing and use that info in your amazon affiliate account.

I had done exactly that....added the US bank acc and routing no. in the direct deposit information. However I got the message saying it could not verify and that I should contact the bank. That's the reason I contacted Payoneer support. I know it used to work around two years back but now it seems it doesn't work anymore. Anyone tried this recently?

Interesting.

It still works for me and others too, if you search for this topic on BHW, you can see. I'm not from India, but i remember namely Indianfreak who said before, that he gets his payments like this as well, it was roughly a month ago, so that can be considered "recently". I get my Merch payments just fine in every month around the 28th to the Payoneer VBA.

Are you sure that you entered everything correctly and the VBA is in USD and not in any other currency? The payee names should match too i think.
 
Does anyone use Payoneer as I'm about to set up an account with them for my Amazon US account but I'm not in the US so does it still work?

edited to add Amazon affiliates not Mech acounts

Create a Payoneer account, then apply for their Global Payment Service in USD. You don't have to be a US resident for this, it works in every supported country.
