Today when I was referring a product to someone, I posted a picture of it, along with a link to the product on Amazon. When the link first posted, it looked like a normal link. After several seconds, it switched to read "Amazon Comment" When you click on that, it goes to an error page. I tried doing it over again and the same thing happens.
This is what the page looks like after it converts the link to Amazon Comment.
When you click on the link, here’s what happens.

Ok, let me correct something here, I tried again. When I first posted the link it stayed as it was supposed to. I could click on the link and it WOULD take me to the product page on Amazon. Then AFTER leaving Amazon and returning to my post…then it read Amazon Comment, which then took me to the error page.
Here’s the link as it was posted correctly….
Once I left Amazon and returned to my post, it was reading Amazon Comment. After I clicked on Edit my post, then the correct link magically reappears again…..without me doing anything other than clicking on "Edit" ðŸ§

They programmed the Amazon links to auto convert into AR referral links, it takes a few seconds after the post to convert the URL. Maybe the way you are linking the product is confusing the bot.

I just tried it again. It posted the link normally â˜ï¸. I clicked on the link and it took me to the Amazon product. Everything’s fine. Now, when I left Amazon and returned to this post, this is when "Amazon Comment" shows up instead of the link. When you then click on Amazon Comment, it takes you to the error page.
