Another hurdle in the way for affiliate marketers?

well, let's see, directly from the trusted store participation agreement:

Restrictions No Affiliates, Drop-Ship Consolidators, or Multi-Level Marketers Each Merchant participating in the Program must be the merchant and seller of record, meaning that the Merchant charges the customer’s credit card directly and ships or causes to be shipped the customer’s order. Drop-shipping is permitted, provided the Merchant is not working primarily through drop-ship consolidators or ready-made drop-shipping sites. Merchants bulk listing products fulfilled through drop-ship consolidators are prohibited. Multi-level marketing businesses are also prohibited, such as businesses that recruit members or offer rewards for recruiting others and/or selling services.
