I'm not being a dick when i say that. If you ever start a paysite you'll see exactly what i mean.
I've never run an affiliate program from the CCBill perspective but know how one works from affiliate software (well, at least one built by a third party). Anyway... could this "shaving" also be partly attributed to:

1. Affiliate being unaware of how to use the sponsor links (wrong links, misjudgment of the link to sponsor, etc).
2. The sponsor not properly defining the correct links to use, not alerting affiliates of the links to use, etc.
3. Programs unaware of "leaks" in their tours / systems that lead to a join which don't get attributed to an affiliate signup.

Basically, there's so many factors into what could be considered a "shave" on the sponsor end that aren't the cause of the payment processor. I can imagine how nuts it must be to run a sponsor programs. Fucking insane and I salute those who try and do it amiably.
