As you probably already know, the world's largest online store, in addition to its main division in the United States, also has several branches around the world. The largest of them are located in France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Germany, Canada, China and other countries.

Each branch has its own website in the language of the country it belongs to and operates in the currency corresponding to that country. If you have an Amazon.com account, you can use it on Amazon sites in other countries (except for the Chinese branch).

Amazon's largest division in Europe is German. His website is on the domain Amazon.de. And buying goods here with delivery to Russia, Ukraine and other CIS countries is often more profitable in terms of delivery than doing it on an American website.

The same principles apply on the German Amazon as on the American Amazon. Here you can find both offers from Amazon itself and from third-party sellers. Therefore, if you know how to work with an American site, then there will be no difficulties with a German one - everything is the same here. If you are a beginner, check out our website dedicated to working with Amazon.

Product prices are displayed in Euros. Payment for orders on Amazon.de can also be made by credit card. it doesn’t work here, which is understandable - after all, PayPal belongs to eBay, and this is a direct competitor of Amazon. Prices for some goods are similar to prices on the American site, but still most of the goods are sold here at a higher cost. In addition, all goods purchased through Amazon.de are subject to VAT, which adds another 19% to the price tag. The tax itself is already included in the price tag by default.

If the American site allows you to order some goods with direct international delivery to Russia, then the German Amazon does not support direct delivery to the Russian Federation - you will have to turn to the help of intermediaries or forwarding companies. One of the largest such companies is Mist-Germany. Yes, some sellers are still ready to send goods to Russia by direct delivery ( Internationale und Inlandsversandkosten), but there are very few of them.

It would seem, given all of the above, the German branch should not be popular among our compatriots. But this is not true at all. Why?

4 REASONS FOR THE POPULARITY OF GERMAN AMAZON IN THE CIS:

1. As already mentioned, the representative office in Germany is the largest in Europe. This means that here you can find any goods sold and produced in Europe. The assortment is incredibly rich, and among the products there are real exclusives that can only be bought here.

2. Even taking into account VAT, buying on amazon.de is often more profitable than doing it in Russian or Ukrainian stores.

3. All delivery problems can be easily resolved through forwarding companies. And thanks to Germany’s geographical proximity to our countries, delivery times are minimal, and delivery costs are lower than from the USA.

4. Buying household appliances in a German branch is more rational than in an American one. This is due to the fact that on Amazon.de the equipment is designed for a power supply voltage of 220 V, and on the American site - for 110 V. And the power cords here have a Euro plug, which saves us from the need to use adapters, as is the case with American equipment . This remark is true for products such as vacuum cleaners, irons, microwave ovens, etc. Portable electronics (mobile phones, laptops, tablets, electric shavers) are equipped with their own power supplies, so they can be purchased in the USA.

The American Amazon is known throughout the world for its almost unlimited selection of goods of all types and excellent prices. However, its European branches offer an equally huge selection. The largest of the European ones is the German Amazon.de - on it you can find almost all goods produced in Europe.

If you often buy on the American Amazon.com, there should be no problems with the German version, however, we have nevertheless collected several important clarifications for you, and we are also happy to remind you that Banderolka will deliver all purchases directly to your home - to Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

What to do with the German language?

If you don't speak German, it's important to know that Amazon.de is easy to switch to English - there's a special option for this right below the search bar.

Do I need to create a separate account?

If you have already registered and made purchases on the American (or any other except Chinese) Amazon, you can also log into your account on Amazon.de without creating a new one - to do this, you just need to find the Sign in option and enter your email address and password , which you used when registering your account.

If you have already registered on the Banderolka website and you have an American address, then you also have a European one - just log in to the site and click the “Berlin” button in the upper left corner of the screen.

If you are just starting to buy in Europe and America, you can register here - https://qwintry.com/ru/user/register, and you will immediately receive American and European addresses for ordering goods!

Parcels from countries outside the European Union are subject to customs duties and we will not be able to accept them. Therefore, we advise you to check with the seller where the parcel will be sent from. Amazon also indicates which country the item is being shipped from.

New to Amazon?

And most importantly, if you have not purchased on Amazon yet, we advise you to go to the English version of Amazon.de as indicated in point 1 and study our detailed

After I was banned from the official Amazon affiliate program and was not paid the money I had earned for 2 years (I wrote about this), I began to look for other options for working with Amazon to monetize the site. And I found an excellent service, the super-aggregator of affiliate programs Skimlinks.com ( Skimlinks com), with which I continue to work to this day.

I’ll tell you in more detail how it works. After registering in the system and adding a site or sites, a special java code is issued for each of them, which is implemented on the site. This code automatically converts all found links into affiliate links if this affiliate program is found in the Skimlinks database.

And their database is simply huge and includes more than 20,000 affiliate programs, including major players such as Amazon.com, Ebay.com, Aliexpress.com, ASOS.com, Lamoda.ru and many others. But they are mainly represented All foreign brands and marks, there are almost no Russian ones. Since the service is designed mainly for foreign-English-speaking traffic. Therefore, a minimum knowledge of English is necessary to work with the system, since the interface is only in English and Japanese.

At one point, I thought about monetization options on this site. After walking around the Amazon website and searching the Internet, I found out that there is a special affiliate program. If a person follows an affiliate link to the Amazon website and makes a purchase, then the partner who posted the link receives a reward in the amount of 4% per purchase.

I signed up for the Amazon affiliate program and started working with it, placing affiliate links and widgets on the site.

Since not many people visit the site and the traffic is mainly from Russia and the CIS countries, the earnings were not big at first, it was from 0 to 10 $, over time, as new articles were added to the site and traffic increased, the income increased to 30- $50. This is quite good, considering, again, that the Amazon affiliate program is more focused on foreign traffic. Over the first one and a half to two years, a more or less decent amount has accumulated, something like $200). There are three options for getting the money you earn:

Using this service, all Amazon buyers (and by the way, there are a considerable number of them: 250 million people, and these are only active buyers) can use bank card data stored on amazon.com for payment. And you can pay not only for goods, but also for services from third-party suppliers.

So, using Amazon Payments, you can pay your phone bill, utilities, or purchase a subscription to a music service or any other site. It is possible to arrange automatic payment (for sites with a monthly subscription) and automatic payment of bills that are issued automatically. Also, system users will be able to transfer money to each other.

Science fiction, classical literature, modern prose, journalism, all kinds of magazines, newspaper articles can be viewed in Kindle and PDF format. Among other things, Kindle allows you to read scanned unique books in the DJVU format. This format mainly contains textbooks. The Kindle reader gives you the opportunity to have a truly university library in your pocket.
