Ok, so I have been using Amazon Associates recently. Here are my stats for yesterday:

Now I notice there is a huge different between of total items shipped, and the ordered items (33). So does that mean on these 33 items once they are shipped I earn commissions on those? If so, is there a way to view the pending commissions without having to manually go through and calculate the commission for each item by hand?

Also, is there no "live" view? I seem to have to wait until 10 a.m. the next morning to be able to see stats for the previous day which is kind of a pain in the ass.

Thanks for any help

Yep, exactly.

You get paid for items shipped, not ordered.
You will also be charged for items returned (-commision).

ok, so those 33 items are just pending that means they haven't shipped them yet over there on amazon? or they already tried and the cc didn't go through or something?
 
As far as I know, these items have not been shipped. For whatever reason.

Sometimes all of the items get shipped, but carrying over into the next month, so you get the commission in the month they are shipped. Other times some of the items ordered never get shipped even though they remain in the "ordered" stats. Kind of annoying because you wait for them to get shipped and it doesn't always happen.
 
You get charged for returns? Sucky, returns are usually 30 days right? So if you wait should you be safe?
