Sponsors who niggle you with extra fees

11-04-2003, 11:40 AM

"Check printing fee" -- $1.00

"Administration fee" -- $2.79 (per signup)

etc etc etc.

I just cracked open my ARS check today. Thank god some sponsors pay you exactly $35 per join, PERIOD, with no bullshit deductions. Same with any adult.com program, you get your FULL share, period. Same with maxcash and many others I can name..... but there are those that don't.

When considering a new sponsor, this might be one thing to add in to think about before deciding to go with them..... do they snip away at your income with their little bullshit cheapass fees and extra charges? Or do they fucking pay you what they say they pay you.

I'm just griping because the US-->Cdn exchange rate is sucking so bad right now. Don't mind me, I'll get over it.

Plus paying someone to do that stuff.

But that should be factored in before hand and not deducted after.

Dam, what a scam. Are these the same people that are scamming surfers as well with hidden charges/fees? We have never had any bs fees on our payments to webmasters. I gladly cover postage and printing;-)

What do you think pays for all those parties and free booze? Personally, I would rather a sponsor take me to micky d's and send me larger checks. Few dollars here and there adds up over the course of a year.

OT.

I've always been cheesed off that CCBill dont suck up the 80 cents to post a cheque.

Completely pointless and negative impacting deduction. Poo.

Our "fees" are only applied to our revhsare accounts, and those only cover the processing costs from our billing companies. We could choose to not pay on checks and/or 900, like most other companies do, but I think its fairer to get paid on all your joins and share in the "cost of goods sold."

Why not just call it a 50% program and then they have nothing
to complain about.

a good deal of our USA slang is racist, but it doesn't make you a racist if you happen to use it.

And I dont give a shit about small time deductions, as long as the check I get is large, and clears

Those fees are the processing fees I believe, and I think that's why they offer 60/40 revshare, because the 10-11% processing fee is taken off making it about a 50/50. I don't like it as much as the next webmaster but its a revshare agreement and the fees need to be paid. Would be better if it was split between LS and the webmaster rather than making the webmaster pay the entire processing fee, but you still end up with 50%+ of the revenues.

We split the processing costs with our affiliates --- for a $35 sale, they get $21 and we get $14 (60/40) and the $3.85 totall processing fee is paid 60% by the affiliate and 40% by us. So the affiliate actually nets 53.4% of the total sale.

Niggle --- is a British slang term that is applied to those everyday things that annoy or irritate you. It has nothing to do with the "n" word or anything racist. I've heard mostly Aussies using the term niggle for little annoyances that niggle at them.

The one-time fees like for stamps and cheque processing I can live with, although they do kind of come off as a cheap-ass charge <i>in some cases</i>.... but it's those sponsors that charge a processing fee to their affiliates on each and every signup that suck. Like, for example.... here's one (partnership) ---
3 joins
5 renews
Fees -- $17.01
Earnings for that day -- $68.84

I have about 40 sponsors now, only a few of them have these "fees" like this. I guess one of my questions would be... how come so many other sponsors DON'T have these fees? Why is it that they can afford to pay their affiliates the full monty, while some of these other sponsors feel the need to nip and chew at my income with their "fees"?

And why does my dog shed so damn much??

most revshare programs have this as its a partnership split
you split the incuring costs I know we tell you right on your check its taken out I bet you have a lot that dont tell you its taken out

does checks from CCbill (programs that use ccbill to track your sales ) tell you if your split of the processing fee is taken ? its an option for every program using them whether to split the fee I know when I was pushing a lot of rev share programs back a few years ago most split the fee with you

as for per signup programs thats rediculous

they say $35 per signup thats what you should get

Thanks for clearing that up, so in the end webmasters still get 50%+ which keeps me happy.... Good job Steve.

He gets dried dog food, and I mix in a bit of table scraps soaked in warm water. He goes mental for that.

He's just the type of breed that sheds a hell of a lot. (collie-husky)

He has two big sheds every year, once in mid-spring and once in the mid-to-late-fall (as in right now). My vacum is taking a serious beating.

Yeah, that's where some sponsors get you with their "cheque processing fees" etc. I'll have to look over my stubs to see whose doing it, but I know I have a few that do it.

Thanks Tanker, for taking the time to "shed" some light on how it works with fees. <img SRC="http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/biggrin.gif">
