Though it may not be agreeable I think they get around that on the outset by informing you of what transactions would be shared and which would not is that correct? Whether it is right or wrong it is worse if they dont disclose it up front I imagine.
If the expressed interest is to share revenue generated imperpetuity then I think that ethically speaking (lol @ ehtics) revenue is revenue regardless of what part of the site or service the transaction transpired.

Well it's not a matter of right or wrong. It's just a matter of competition.
There are thousands of affiliate programs out there where I can send my traffic. Logic dictates that I would send to the one that makes me the most money, so if you're doing something that will decrease my take, then that's a mark against you.
What's concerning about the issues with upsells in a members area, is you can start promoting a program on a revshare basis when they're squeaky clean. Updating regularly and no ads in the members area.
Then you build up a nice member base with them and get some nice recurring revenue, and then they carpet bomb the members area with ads.
Now you can stop sending traffic, but you're fucked with your rebills, you're not going to make as much as you should have and you've already sent the traffic.
That's why PPS is the preferred model in this business, and you should only do revshare with people you trust.
