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"

Slight correction: Now I notice that the cross sales are no longer pre-checked. They were in the past.
I agree with you entirely and believe that sometimes this happens. On CCBill I don't think there is a way to credit an affiliate for cross sales though, which is very convenient for some. I notice now that the cross sale is for one of this guy's other sites. In the past (when they were also prechecked) he used to have cross sales for another webmaster's site.
What I'm wondering is whether there is some way for this guy to do something like any of the following on CCBill without my being able to notice it:
1. Cancel the members sent from my affiliate account and then issue them a new membership without being attached to my affilaite account.
2. Somehow keep the account active but assign credit to himself or another affiliate so that I get no credit for rebills.
It's just very strange to me that like clockwork almost every day the surfer cancels each and every time. I'm questioning whether there is some way to do the above without my knowing under the CCBill sponsor interface. The numbers point to something strange going on as does my gut but from looking at the affiliate admin I see no evidence of it other than the shitty percentages.
