chargeback fines?????!???

very true statement.

truth, a lot of places charge $2 check fee too

The chargeback fines just blow my mind. Sure remove the sales (like many affiliate programs do) but passing on the fines from paysquare is just nasty. We use paysquare (vxs bill) too, and those CB fines are just part of doing business ... passing them on is downright greedy.

Eat those fines like EVERYONE else does.

Bump. It seems that they are delaying payments now, and blaming it on Epass. 6 days delay on Epass already.

But affiliates with wire as payout options also got the payment delayed.

I knew these changes were a sign of financial problems.

:(

This is the e-mail they sent earlier today, about the payment delay:

For all of our affiliates using ePassporte to receive funds, we regret to
announce that we are experiencing a problem with our most recent (May 2009)
transfer. We made the payment as we always do, complete and on time, but
due to technical issues on the part of ePassporte, the payments are still
pending, and we are doing our best to figure out what exactly has happened
and how we can fix this problem as soon as possible. Rest assured that
Orgycash has in fact made the payments, and everyone will receive their
proper payments as soon as we can sort this out. Affiliates who receive
money through bank wire transfers have already received their money as
usual. We sincerely apologize for the delay and are doing what we can.
If anybody has had similar experiences with ePassporte in the past we would
be interested in hearing about it.

Thanks for your patience,
Camron
Orgycash

I guess I am glad the never activated my account. :)

they could have done it differently.

I have just recieved their wire transfer ... so I believe tham that there is problem with epass.

epass wire delays are not unheard of...

With regards to reducing fraud I think a bonus system might work better. Reward long term affiliates who send GOOD signups, rather than scare off potential affiliates with unusual fees or conditions...
