I'm curious, will your links still work and you will just not get paid? Or do the links break? If they are collecting money from your links and not paying you, that really is unethical.

Yes, the links will still work, but you will be blocked from accessing your Amazon account, and obviously will no longer make any money from sales.

As a Colorado resident, I left the links and started using viglink as an intermediary. Unfortunately, I am unsure as to how honest they are with sales. I get very little in sales through them, and even have bought an item from amazon (through a link on my site) that should have been reported and paid by viglink. Unless I did something wrong, I was not paid for this from viglink. (FYI- viglink is code that auto-changes amazon links to make viglink the beneficiary of the amazon link sales on your site. Then they are supposed to take a "cut" and send you the rest).
