With such low volumes of traffic, Variance comes widly into play. (Variance explained in poker terms)

I know its easy to think the program is cheating you, but honestly, I think this is just a case of your sample size being too small to come to any conclusions yet.
Main point of OP is that coincidentally his two sale bursts were at the beginning and then after he complained. Combine variance and this and you get very small odds that this was coincidence. That is why he is suspicious, naturally.
Again - I am not suggesting that they are cheating, merely saying that odds are very slim for combination of this variance AND timing (at the beginning + after complaining).

Ratio all in all is very good, so it might be not shaving, but on the contrary - gifting sales to please affiliate.
