And guess what, that shirt that was delivered to me via UPS ... UPS didn't lose any money on it. Hell, if I shipped it back, they'd make double the money!
Also, we are not talking about fraud. I think that has been established many times that fraud is different than regular credits/cbs.

Shipping isn't part of the product... And there is zero shipping in an adult pay site so that point is moot.
I should have quantified "advertiser" in my statement... Imagine a coupon presented at time of sale that associates the sale with a third party campaign where that third party is paid on the sale... In this instance if the sale is voided... The third party does not receive any funds. It's always backed out of the totals...
And once again... "Why don't I just advertise to my users that I'll pay them $5 for every sponsor they sign up with and cancel their membership... We can all get rich and drive the sponsors out of business..." <-- That is fraud and that is EXACTLY what will occur if you run a system where you pay out even if you had to refund the sale. Anyone who thinks that's a good idea has obviously never run a high profile subscription based site.
