im not saying jimmy should not profit from oople at all, what im saying is a shop pays for an advert/section on here, if then pay a comission for anyone using the link may push that shop away as it will cut thier margine.

Just a thought. How about a raffle before christmass.
oOple tshirts stickers etc Sponsers may wish to donate prizes.

I understand what your saying an oople tax off the link would be a bad thing it would be like paying twice

I agree that it would be unreasonable to charge the retailers twice, but maybe a renogatiation of terms wouldn't be out of the question. Pay per click type referrals are pretty standard things these days and can be beneficial to both parties, particularly if they are linked to actual sales rather than just page accessions.
