20-25% EXTRA in processing fees could mean the the difference between making money from a sale or losing it.

Lets take a 50/50 Deal on a $30.00 membership.

$15.00 - Affiliate payout
$10.50 - Processing Fee (123pay based on 35%)
------------------------------
Site owner nets:$4.50


$15.00 - Affiliate payout
$3.75 - Processing Fee (CC based on 12.5%)
------------------------------
Site owner nets : $11.25


Bad deal for affiliate programs. IF you're processing sales for your own stuff and dont have affiliates to pay out then you could be safe depending on the markup of your product.
