Affiliate marketing, blogging income, and AdSense monetization strategies.
Short answer: Most missing Amazon Associates commissions are not lost. They fall outside one rule. The session ends after 24 hours. It also ends when the shopper places an order or clicks another Associate’s link. Returns and cancellations remove the commission. Even a good sale is only counted once it ships, and the money arrives…
Short answer: Vinted’s updated terms took effect October 8, 2026 in the US, UK and Australia. The buyer charge is now called the “Vinted fee.” Sellers get 48 hours instead of 24 to answer a counterfeit finding. US sellers still cannot use Vinted for professional selling. The calculation of the fee did not change, according…
Short answer: Amazon’s holiday peak FBA fees start today, October 15, 2026, and run through January 14, 2027. Amazon says the increase averages $0.32 per unit. A 3.5% fuel surcharge sits on top. On a $15 item weighing 4 oz, FBA plus the usual 15% referral fee now takes about $5.99, or 40% of the…
Short answer: Starting October 19, 2026, Poshmark stops covering USPS’s $50 HAZMAT noncompliance fee. If USPS flags your package, the full $50 comes out of your earnings. Until now you paid $5. The most common trigger isn’t what’s inside. It’s a reused box with an old hazmat label or the small black-and-white “Limited Quantity” diamond….
Where things stand: On September 30, 2026, Texas Comptroller Don Huffines ordered his office to propose removing marketplace and platform fees from the state’s tax on data processing. That would cover Amazon, eBay, Etsy, DoorDash, and similar fees. It’s a proposal, not a repeal. The tax that started October 1, 2025 still applies until a…
Short answer: Go to Premium Subscriptions in your Wix account. Click the More Actions icon next to the plan, then Cancel Plan, then Cancel Now. Cancel within 14 days of a first-time purchase and the plan ends right away with a full refund. After day 14 there’s no refund, but the plan keeps running to…
Short answer: If you filed Form 4868 this spring, your 2025 federal return is due October 15, 2026. That date is for filing. The tax itself was due April 15, so any unpaid balance has been collecting a penalty and interest since then. Can’t pay it all? File on time anyway. The late-filing penalty runs…
Short answer: Shopify won’t refund unused subscription time. Its Terms of Service say “Shopify does not provide refunds.” So timing is the only lever you have. Taking a few months off? Pause and Build, widely reported at $9 a month, keeps your store and admin with checkout switched off. Done for good? Deactivate under Settings…
Short answer: Since October 1, 2026, earned wage access apps can’t ask Maryland users for tips. Fast-transfer fees were already capped there: $5 on $75 or less, $7.50 above that. Every app must also offer a free option. Outside Maryland, tips are often still allowed. A $5 fee on a one-week $75 advance works out…
Short answer: If you delivered for DoorDash in New York City between April 22, 2022 and November 29, 2026, you may be owed part of a $131.5 million settlement. You don’t file a claim. Settlement administrator Simpluris emails eligible workers in late October 2026 with the amount. Reported figures put the median around $48, with…
