This is devastating to me. I have probably several hundred links over all of my lenses and on top of that I sold 10 items last night totally $420 and I dont get to earn any commission on them. Im not making a ton as it is, perhaps $100 a month, and so this has just ripped a gaping hole in my tiny income.
I dont mind them wanting to charge taxes on online purchases, but the whole affiliate part of the equation is a bunch of BS.
Still reeling from the aftermath

I feel your pain! Short-sighted Arkansas lawmakers passed the Nexus law this session, too, and I am set to lose my Amazon associate status – and several thousand dollars of earnings per year – next month. I’m working hard to develop new income streams in order to replace that income, but it’s going to take awhile. In the meantime, we will tighten our belts and make do with less, another practice the government seems to just not understand.

This is one of the stupidest things the state lawmakers have ever done! And it’s happening all across the USA. I am sorry to say this is typical governmental decision-making — without studying all of the facts.
