Yes, Facebook allows Amazon affiliate links. Just keep in mind that posting a link or two, does not automatically translate into revenue. You can check your tracking id report in Amazon Associates to see how many clicks you received.

I kind of wonder if, in their scoring mechanism that decides what to show to who, they dock you a few points for product links though. I've been doing "what I've been reading" posts on FB lately, and people don't seem to notice them much.

Would need to test it to verify but most companies based upon user-generated content will swap out your affiliate ID for their own.

If not, they should be starting to do so :)

Didn't pinterest use to do that and then people got pissed so they removed it?

Edit: Yes they did. Source: http://venturebeat.com/2012/02/07/pinterest-affiliate-links/

Someone suggested we flip out affiliate links for our own on reddit. We thought that would be pretty evil.
