Could it be that the amazon filter does not add the partner id to the url?

You can look at the link and see. It's embedded in the link.

i did that but 

<a href="[amazon B0033AGBD4 detailpageurl]">Die Canon Powershot D10</a>

becomes: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B0033AGBD4/?tag=af--21

but af--21 is not my id

is af--21 the id of the drupal association?

Title: Amazon Filter, Partner ID » Amazon Associate ID does not change immediately in link if the setting is changed
Category: support » bug

The detailpageURL is stored in the amazon_item table, already prepared with whatever it had when it was built.

In order to make this responsive to a change in admin/settings/amazon, we'd need to invalidate the items in amazon_item (perhaps by update amazon_item set timestamp=0;. Then cron would start to update them.

As a workaround, you can do this when changing the Amazon Associate ID:
update amazon_item set timestamp=0;
drush cron

You may need to run cron many times depending on the number of products you have.

Closing as duplicate.
The specific issue e-anima had was a browser plugin issue.

The associate link is in fact stored hard-coded into the URL in the DB, but the change needed to invalidate existing records will be incorporated in #1127462: When cache is cleared, invalidate amazon_item table
