Only way I'd pay chargeback "fines" would be if there were NO upsells. You want to enjoy upselling my traffic after I sign it, eat the god damned fees or minimize chargebacks by delivering what's sold!

Simple rule I now have: I only promote ccbill and nats

This VSXBill Orgy cash uses.. You can't check a period longer than 90 days?

Lame. I know they have some good niches but also with the Euro conversion, do any sites sell that charge more than 29.95 today..

I can't sell stuff above 29.95. Orgycash, Sextronix, ect how bout going and seeing what a seller like Nasty Dollars or 21st Sextury or Naughty America sell porn for.

Then maybe you would convert better and all this would not be nec.

You charge too much for your Euro made porn.

Sorry bout ranting but I haven't posted in a while. ; )

seems like alot of sponsors have been doing this . not to pick on orgycash or include them but i have a feeling the theme right now is "bang the shit out of the card , if you succeed cha-ching , if you don't , blame the affiliate and recoup

SmokeyTheBear 04-05-2009 06:49 PM

i also wouldnt doubt that serious fraudsters are causing a problem, instead of going for just pps , they go revshare spread the signups amongst sponsors from legit cards collect the cash then charge everything back 3 months later

10% loss to the affiliates on sales
4% loss for epassporte fee (based on a $50 min payout)
And there's now a risk of LOSING $25 on each sale, if they charge back for whatever reason?

Gee, where do I signup?

My thoughts exactly. No way.

Attention OrgyCash Members!

We have been hard at work in 2009 trying to make OrgyCash the best
affiliate program it can be, and that means preparing more sites for
promotion and revamping our back end to ensure smoother functioning for
you, the webmasters. Our aim is create an affiliate program that's as
user-friendly as possible and one that is not plagued by fraudulent
webmasters trying to take advantage of the system. For these reasons, we
have decided to make some minor adjustments to our payment policies.

1) In an attempt to combat any fraudulent activity we will now be charging
the webmasters for any chargeback fines (24.95 Euros) that may be caused by
stolen credit cards or other such reasons. This will not effect 99% of
you, only those abusing the system.
2) We will be deducting a 5% credit card fee from all signups from now on.
We will continue to cover the rest of the credit card fees that our company
incurs.
3) There will now be a charge of US$2.00 for all epassporte transactions.

We hope you can understand and appreciate the need to make such changes at
this time in order to keep our affiliate program the best it can be. We
look forward to growing with all of you in 2009 and keeping Orgycash at the
forefront of affiliate programs!

Orgycash

Does this mean that the actual payou right now will be 45%? And on thop of that, if any chargebacks occur, it's going to come out of the affiliate pocket?

Shouldn't fraudulent webmasters simply be terminated, without the good webmasters having to paid for other people mistakes?

What do you guys think? :disgust

I wonder how many noobs will join and wait 3 months to get their very first sign up ever
and see it get charged back 3 days later. :1orglaugh

Read closer... not only will the affiliate "eat" the charge back but it looks like they plan on fining the affiliate $25 on top of that. Meaning it would cost you money for a sale that charged back.

The way I see it is as an affiliate it's my job to send the traffic to the site and pre sell it. It's up to the program to convert that traffic via their tour and keep the customers happy.

A chargeback is not something I can do anything about, assuming I'm not sending fraudulent sales. If a customer charges back, that means either they are scamming on their own accord or the affiliate program didn't keep them happy, which is something me as an affiliate has no control over.

If I were promoting them, I'd stop and hell I don't send many CB's percentage wise.

Snake Doctor 04-05-2009 08:12 PM

At the end of the day, 5% isn't a big deal. If you're doing enough volume with them for 5% to be a big deal, you have (or should have) a custom payout worked out with them anyways, so this doesn't apply to you.

The fines should be split, just like everything else in a revshare program. We should split the revenues, processor fees, and chargeback fines the same.
We're either partners or we're not.

In this particular case
2) We will be deducting a 5% credit card fee from all signups from now on.
We will continue to cover the rest of the credit card fees that our company
incurs.


It look as if they're paying the CC fees out of their end already...so 5% is still cheaper than splitting it.

riddler 04-05-2009 08:12 PM

they are charging the customer %5 credit card fee or the affiliate?

if its the customer then they could loose visa/mastercard processing, its against merchant agreements 9 times out of 10.

collegeboobies 04-05-2009 08:26 PM

50 alarmed webmasters freaking out

Especially considering the shady practices a lot of programs participate in.

I want proof that a surfer charged back because of something that was my fault.

You gotta be soo fucking careful who you promote.. You need to know them and their paysites inside and out.

A lot of webmasters are risking losing their own traffic promoting bullshit programs.

very true statement.

Affiliate eating the CBs... debatable but you should take responsibility for your sales. No problem.

5% credit card fee? I find that very odd and I would have a problem with this.

With that said, if they just came out and said we are lowering your payment to 45%, either you deal with it or you don't.

45% - 50%, does it really matter?

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

Sausage 04-06-2009 04:05 PM

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.

tranza 06-30-2009 07:07 AM

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.

:(

tranza 06-30-2009 07:12 AM

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. :)

Raf1 06-30-2009 10:35 AM

they could have done it differently.

janosik 06-30-2009 11:28 AM

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

rowan 06-30-2009 01:11 PM

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...
