It is also possible for a sponsor to hardcode the PA or change the CA or subaccount (with grouping off) to avoid crediting affiliates. For the ones which dynamically load the form first through a php script it would be possible in theory to shave a certain percentage off using tricks (90% it goes to the normal form, 10% hardcoded with their own PA). I'm not saying that's happening here though. Just something to watch for. CCBill isn't shave proof as some believe.
I would copy the existing ccbill cookies you have now somewhere and then use a clean profile or another browser for any other tests. Make sure no previous cookie exists to be sure.
