Is it possible to put a big fat VGChartz Store button right beside the Community button? Maybe in yellow, some color that catches my eye. I keep forgetting the store exists and I go directly to Amazon to buy my stuff. It's sad to see purchases that can help VGChartz go to waste. Is that little carousel thing that is located in My Profile the only way to access the store? Because I always overlook it, thinking that it's an advertisement.

I think I made nordlead cry when I told him how much I spent last year. n_n

Does it cost more to buy it through VGChartz? I'm not quite understanding how they'd get anything for free from Amazon... but I suppose it's great publicity, and it IS Amazon's sale in the end (Instead of someone buying it off a different site like Ebay).

So what does VGC get for each $1 sold?

Amazon has a great associates program. The prices to the customer are identical. All things are identical, other than the interface. BUT, VGChartz gets a decent size chunk of change depending on how many sales are referred from VGChartz.

For example, last year DKII bought a rather large LCD or plasma TV (don't remember) and the website earned like $60, but DKII payed the same he would have if he went straight to amazon.com. pbroy would have donated around 200-400 last year depending on various things.

Also, Amazon.co.uk has awesome deals, and will ship to anywhere in Europe. People on this website who live in Europe should be buying from them via the VGChartz store.

Also, as for access to the store, just go to Games->VGChartz Store

Don't want to make a thread for this so I'll post here. Can I buy from marketplace sellers using the VGChartz store? Because Amazon.co.uk doesn't ship to Romania, but a few marketplace retailers do.

And also the VGCStore is not only games, you can buy everything AMAZON has on sale thru the store and help the site.

if marketplace sellers means people other than amazon, then yes. Click on the link I have circled and marked. It will take you to the product page on amazon.co.uk and you can buy from anyone selling the product.

But doesn't that make me leave the VGChartz store? Thus VGChartz doesn't get a part of the money?

once you click that link, you have 24hr to put that item in your shopping cart. (assuming you don't whipe your cookies all the time)

If you place an item in your cart you have like 3 days (or something like that) to buy it.

Thanks. I'll do that the next time I buy from Amazon.

Can VGChartz implement some kind of system where it shows us how much money that we spent on Amazon has gone towards helping the site?

Like give us VG$ or an Amazon coolness meter.
