As we're dealing with an "over average" amount of CCBILL sales each day (we are affiliates)
we have enough data to see patterns in the sales and very too often we see "holes" in the sales.
They often look like this maybe 6 sales within an hour and then 3 hours with no sales and then 8 sales within an hour etc etc..
I've always found these holes kinda strange.. but EVERY SINGLE time I've made a test signup myself during these holes it works 100%
Some of the other webmasters I talk with tells me that it can be because CCBILL processes these sales in batches which can be delayed...
Anyways... here a screenshot from a hole we experienced just now :
What we're looking at here is 3 sales at 00:00 (my local time) and then not a single sale for 1½ hours and then 5 sales again at 01:30
This seems very strange to me - unless it's actually a delayed batch that is actually showing me the sales from those empty 1½ hours.
But...
How will you explain these subscription id's... they match the timestamps perfectly.. so, this is actually a real hole unless there's some logic to these id's I don't know about..
Whenever I did a test signup I got the id right away - so these numbers aren't attached to each sale later on..
(The below timestamps are CCBILL server hours)
The five 01:30 sales :
hour 16:11:15 - ID : 107117501000054366
hour 16:08:39 - ID : 107117501000053938
hour 16:08:37 - ID : 107117501000053935
hour 16:08:02 - ID : 107117501000053909
hour 16:07:04 - ID : 107117501000053879
And the 3 0:00 sales :
time 14:42:53 - ID : 107117501000048334
time 14:36:36 - ID : 107117501000048077
time 14:34:28 - ID : 107117501000047988
Notice how the IDs jump around 5000 in this hole.. showing me that this is NOT delayed sales
So... after 1½ hour with no sales (traffic level the same as all day) there's 5 sales within 4 minutes...
And while writing this thread there's been a new half hour now with no sales at all..
What is the logic of this?
