We strictly prohibit any activity involving receiving compensation or benefits—such as money or rewards—due to links you share, purchases made through those links, or simply posting a link itself. Violations will likely result in account suspension. This encompasses programs like G2A Goldmine, Amazon Associates, related schemes, and services offering incentives like increased cloud storage based on referrals. This applies to content within forum discussions as well as information in your profile's signature.
This encompasses platforms like G2A Goldmine, Amazon Affiliate programs, and essentially any system where compensation is provided due to link clicks, purchases made via links, or even simple link sharing.

I’m unclear on your question. For example, if someone inquires about a piece of equipment and I provide an Amazon link, does that indicate they've expressed interest in that product – is that not permitted?
P.S.: My intention isn’t to argue; I am simply ensuring I comply with the guidelines.
It’s acceptable as long as you’re simply providing a reference to Amazon. However, it’s not okay if you offer a link that earns you compensation from Amazon when someone purchases through it. I understand now; thank you.
Here’s a revised version of the text:
This platform prohibits any connection or program that offers compensation—such as funds or benefits—for actions like clicking on a link, purchasing items through a linked referral, or simply sharing a link. We strictly discourage this activity and will likely remove your account if it occurs. This encompasses services such as G2A Goldmine and Amazon Associates, alongside comparable schemes.
It’s acceptable to include a direct link to Amazon; however, it is not permitted to provide links where users receive payment from Amazon for purchases made through those links. Although this may seem basic, could you describe the appearance of referral links?
If you aren’t receiving compensation for sharing links or generating sales through purchases, please don’t be concerned.

It’s alright if you aren't receiving income through sharing links or purchases; don’t fret.
Appreciated the illustrations… I typically haven’t understood their function or appearance.
A straightforward alternative is simply informing the individual about the item and directing them to its location. For instance, headphones like “Brand Name and other specifications” can be found on Amazon, eliminating the need for a link; they would only require copying that information.
You provide the product’s name and state its origin, then the person can go directly there to purchase it or find more details. It would certainly be helpful to also include the price. For example, if a PC game is available at local stores for $30 and on Amazon for $20, you could say, “It's currently discounted at $20 based on my last check of ‘Game,’ with a date noted.” This avoids links and concerns about profit margins. Furthermore, providing such specifics seems to foster more interest in discussions about these products. Particularly when detailed information is shared.
I personally find it frustrating when someone requests assistance locating inexpensive orange wireless Bluetooth headphones featuring lightning bolts, only to receive the response, “Hey, I know where you can get those. Here’s a link to that exact pair.” This link often leads to children's Frozen headphones. Occasionally, people will send links to Amazon for items you haven’t even requested, seemingly aiming to boost traffic and potentially increase sales for their accounts.
I realize this explanation is somewhat lengthy, but this forum section raises a valid point.
Suppose I provided a link to a dedicated webpage showcasing a particular product—not on Amazon or Newegg—and that webpage included a referral link directing users to Amazon?
