The site does have pre checked cross sales.

My question is whether or not this is normal for others. It's not normal me. With other sites recurring memberships on average rebill twice so for example 100 recurring sales means I will get about 200 rebills. Also is there any way for a sponsor to do some shady shit in ccbill where they are able to drop the affiliate from getting credit for rebills or otherwise assign credit to a different affiliate? I've heard vague talk of things like this before and I am curious as to what is actually true. I did check to make sure I am getting credit according to the program details and it seems to check out.

Or do you think it's the pre checked cross sales which are making all these surfers paranoid? My personal gut feeling is that something is up with this because I'm sending him very good traffic but I want to hear what others have to say.
if you are promoting a site that has pre checked cross sales (from your plural use, I will assume two cross sales) and you are promoting rev share, and you only get credit on the initial sale (no % payout on the cross sales) then you have been duped. If this is how the program is run, then the big question is where are the cross sales going to, if they are going to a different programs sites, then it is pretty easy for them to get you. They take the join that you send, cross sell the guy to two other sites, they get paid PPS on the two cross sales, then they auto cancel the majority of their members, so 1 they never have to pay you much, and 2, they don't have to deal with the chargebacks. If the cross sales are internal, then they are cancelling the memberships that you get credit for, but keeping the customer as a member of their other sites.

if you are going to promote rev share on a site with cross sales, they should be sharing the revenue from those as well, or it is not really a rev share, it is a "we'll share part of the revenue from one of our revenue streams and keep the rest"
