In light of the Amazon Tracking pages becoming private urls visible only to the Earners, we created a tool (https://purse.github.io/tracking-bookmarklet/) for Earners to upload tracking information from their Amazon tracking pages. This will allow tracking via Carrier tracking numbers instead of Amazon tracking pages. Earners please start using the new bookmarklet tool to enter tracking numbers.
