    Anyone alarmed by the OrgyCash "news"???

    I just got this e-mail from them:

    Attention OrgyCash Members!

    We have been hard at work in 2009 trying to make OrgyCash the best
    affiliate program it can be, and that means preparing more sites for
    promotion and revamping our back end to ensure smoother functioning for
    you, the webmasters. Our aim is create an affiliate program that's as
    user-friendly as possible and one that is not plagued by fraudulent
    webmasters trying to take advantage of the system. For these reasons, we
    have decided to make some minor adjustments to our payment policies.

    1) In an attempt to combat any fraudulent activity we will now be charging
    the webmasters for any chargeback fines (24.95 Euros) that may be caused by
    stolen credit cards or other such reasons. This will not effect 99% of
    you, only those abusing the system.
    2) We will be deducting a 5% credit card fee from all signups from now on.
    We will continue to cover the rest of the credit card fees that our company
    incurs.
    3) There will now be a charge of US$2.00 for all epassporte transactions.

    We hope you can understand and appreciate the need to make such changes at
    this time in order to keep our affiliate program the best it can be. We
    look forward to growing with all of you in 2009 and keeping Orgycash at the
    forefront of affiliate programs!

    Orgycash

    Does this mean that the actual payou right now will be 45%? And on thop of that, if any chargebacks occur, it's going to come out of the affiliate pocket?

    Shouldn't fraudulent webmasters simply be terminated, without the good webmasters having to paid for other people mistakes?

    What do you guys think?

      Hmm, I wouldn't have a problem with the chargeback fine, as I almost never have any chargebacks. But the 5% CC Fee and epass fee is just a way to decrease affiliate payouts, I can't see how that would make the program better, maybe better for the owners

      But I don't promote them anyway....

          if you send a chargeback, you eat the chargeback. take responsibility for your actions. thats common logic.

              I don't believe the affiliate should be held responsible for chargebacks.

              Especially considering the shady practices a lot of programs participate in.

              I want proof that a surfer charged back because of something that was my fault.

              You gotta be soo fucking careful who you promote.. You need to know them and their paysites inside and out.

              A lot of webmasters are risking losing their own traffic promoting bullshit programs.

                  Yeah, I wouldn't have a problem with the chargeback thing, as I hardly ever have chargebacks.

                  But if you add that to the other 2 "fees" they are adding to affiliates, it makes me wonder if they are going through some financial problems.

                          How about if the member area is shit. Or the customer service is non existant. Still your fault?

                              $2 epass fee is pretty normal. No problem.

                              Affiliate eating the CBs... debatable but you should take responsibility for your sales. No problem.

                              5% credit card fee? I find that very odd and I would have a problem with this.

                              With that said, if they just came out and said we are lowering your payment to 45%, either you deal with it or you don't.

                              45% - 50%, does it really matter?

                                  Yes you should eat the chargeback but paying the fine on top of it all is pushing it. To many factors out of the affiliates control (member area, quality of member support etc.).

                                  This may help push card scammers away from them though. They will just move on to greener pastures.

                                  They are going to have to watch for joe jobbers as well.

                                      How much i know eating chargeback fees is normal procedure,i been in minus at lightspeedcash once because of it.But that credit card fee is kind a strange especially considering they charge in euros instead dollars which means higher fee then usual adult membership fee.

                                          i think its crappy.

                                          they don't want to tighten their belts so they are taking it out of affiliates share to cover their costs. its a partnership for a reasons, both ends hold up their ends. in this case one end is reneging and taking money off their partners plate. i think maybe if i was sending them a lot of traffic i would start finding it a new home, as this is certainly a sign of other possible problems.

                                              lol, 5% fee??? When 90% ot the other sponsors simply shave like mad??? I don't know what your stats look like but many of the paysite sponsors I send to went from 1:400 to 1:10 000, and don't tell me there's no shaving involved, fuck the tubes and the economy, I don't think less money and free videos add up to 25 TIMES less sales...

                                                  CC companies should prosecute fraud. Too bad they have no incentive to do so, do they?

                                                      I don't see the logic there. Card scammers should be terminated. Without ANY pay. Period.

                                                      Real webmasters/affiliates shouldn't have to pay because of a minority of scammers.

                                                                  Simply delete their accounts, don't pay nothing and move on. I'm sure it could be done by using a simple script.

Doesnt really have anything to do with "huge numbers" or not, but how companies incur profit/loss and make it up.

                                                                              i had an entire payout terminated from a network a year or so ago over one fraudulent sale. one jackass carded a pass, got caught, and it cost me like 15 other sales in the process. absolute fucking bullshit. the program says they refunded every card the signed up up me in that period. i would have liked to see some proof of that....

But it could happen and I don't pay for something I have absolutely no influence on. Links dropped. Too bad, as they looked like a really good sponsor.

                                                                                                  The most unprofessional thing about this though is that they send out this email now but allready take 5% from my february earnings. This is crazy. What if they decide to lower payouts to 10% and only tell me 2 months later?

                                                                                                  Over the years I have send Orgy Cash about 1 million dollars worth of sales. Looks like it is time to move on.

                                                                                                                                      This sucks. I don?t know of any other program that charges 25 euros for chargeback fees, nor do I know any that deduct 5% credit card fee for every sign up. What especially sucks is that all this has already come into effect one month ago.

                                                                                                                                      Four years ago, when I started to promote Orgymax, everybody was talking about them. It?s a pity that they haven?t evolved since then.

                                                                                                                                      Yes the content of their websites is still top quality. But sadly I can?t say that about the way Orgymax is being run. ?Amateuristic? ? that?s the first word that crosses my mind.

                                                                                                                                      And this latest news about them only confirms that. Why this step? Is this a sign that business is not going well?

                                                                                                                                      It?s a pity that the owner doesn?t seem to be interested in Orgmax anymore. Trying to contact him is equal to a mission impossible.

                                                                                                                                      Hopefully Orgymax will give an explanation in this thread. But does the Orgymax management even care to read the most important webmaster board in the biz?

                                                                                                                                      The past four years I have been sending Orgymax at least several hundred thousand of dollars worth of sales. I agree with Pornopat. It?s time to move on.

                                                                                                                                              if each signup is $30 - $15/$15 - $1.5(%5 of total signup which is %10 of the affiliate pay) = $13.5

                                                                                                                                              I dont know about you but %10 is a nice number to lose, or to earn, depends on which side you are on.

                                                                                                                                                                      I can't sell stuff above 29.95. Orgycash, Sextronix, ect how bout going and seeing what a seller like Nasty Dollars or 21st Sextury or Naughty America sell porn for.

                                                                                                                                                                      Then maybe you would convert better and all this would not be nec.

Meaning it would cost you money for a sale that charged back.

                                                                                                                                                                                          The way I see it is as an affiliate it's my job to send the traffic to the site and pre sell it. It's up to the program to convert that traffic via their tour and keep the customers happy.

                                                                                                                                                                                          A chargeback is not something I can do anything about, assuming I'm not sending fraudulent sales. If a customer charges back, that means either they are scamming on their own accord or the affiliate program didn't keep them happy, which is something me as an affiliate has no control over.

If you're doing enough volume with them for 5% to be a big deal, you have (or should have) a custom payout worked out with them anyways, so this doesn't apply to you.

We should split the revenues, processor fees, and chargeback fines the same.
