I've noticed a few big sponsors doing it. What do ya'll think?
Who here thinks pre-checked cross sales are shady?

shady - not illegal but shady. especially when the text is size=1 and the cross-sale site doesn't even have a URL to go with it and is priced at 39.99 or above.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly! -
would you consider a sponsor who credit card description is ATM CASCADE or a similar ATM-type descriptor and charges in $40.00 increments for their price points shady?
hypothetically speaking, of courseComment

Shady as fuck!
This happened to me 3 months ago. Bought a program online and 3 months later I look at my cc statement to find I was being charged $14.95 per month for some retail discount membership. I ended up getting a refund on 2 months but took a loss for $14.95 on the 3rd. I was just happy to get most of my money back.ICQ: 150-803-430

VERY shady, do you know any sponsors off the top of your head that do this that you can mention?If you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of.

Yeah, I can't understand how their chargeback ratios are not HUGE!! That's probably why only the biggest sponsors can do it, They have to have huge sales to keep the percentage of chargbacks down.Shady as fuck!

shady, yeah...
The worst cases are sites that allow people to signup for $1 (or even free), but then pre-check cross sale them at $39.95 or something like that. For me that gets to be just about over the line.
I also have an issue with programs that pay say $25 per signup to an affiliate, and then have a pre-checked cross sale for an amount higher than what the affiliate gets paid. Essentially, the program sets itself up to profit twice and pay once.
All of this goes back to the ongoing, long running, almost endless of programs that promise to pay huge amounts of money per signup. They have to make the money somewhere to pay for it, don't they?Comment

I have no troubles with them personally as a consumer. I take care when I'm about to spend money, and frequently ignore or uncheck extra offers for other items or warranties or extended home support when I buy.
More annoying to me are forms when joining a messageboard/site where you have to carefully check to opt out of additional offers, AND UNcheck to opt out of other additional offers, lol.
Imagine if paysites had 1 cross sale that said "Uncheck here now to not join this site" and a 2nd cross sale that said "Check here now to join this site". Chaos. The rules in place are sufficient.
Also annoying is shopping for batteries and placing them on the counter with cash in hand and getting offered a cellular phone, long distance phone service, store credit card application, and being asked for my name and address.43-922-863 Shut up and play your guitar.

imagine what it would be like if you went to buy a pack of $3 batteries, and when they gave you the bill, they said "That will be 297.50". It isn't a question of being asked and saying no, it is the assumption that you have said yes and you have to back away from it.
I often wonder how programs can manage to do that stuff and still stay within chargeback limits.Comment
