Can Affiliate Links Link to More Than One Product?

[AnswersPlease]

Hi all,

I'm new to this and want to set up a website where visitors can click on a few products on my website then be directed to Amazon/Ebay etc. with these items in the basket. My simple question is whether this is possible? I seem to be getting mixed messages from Amazon, Ebay and other online retailers. Most affiliate links seem to be for a single item and it is only mysupermarket.co.uk that seems to be able to direct you to the main seller with a number of products in the basket. Any guidance would be appreciated,or advice on who could help me.

Best wishes,

LB

You start by setting up an Amazon Affiliate account. Then you can promote specific products on your website and link those products back to amazon with your affiliate ID. All the products you promote will contain the affiliate ID at the end of the link.

Once the customer arrives at Amazon, they may elect to buy the product you promoted or other products. But you will get an affiliate fee for anything that customer buys after following the link from your site. This remains true for 24 hours, unless that customer follows another link with a different affiliate ID.

I imagine eBay works in a similar way though I've never been an affiliate for eBay.
