This is a somewhat funny, but sad story (for me at least).

Look at this banner - it says "We've Missed You. We Want You Back." However, the story i'm about to tell you is so disturbing in my eyes, it shows their is only one thing they've missed -- your money. After that, they couldn't care less.

I've been promoting a sponsor on IBILL for the last 2 years. Even among their issues, I always felt signups were fair, and they always paid on time. I never had issues with payment.

A few months ago, this sponsor (which will remain nameless for now) switched all affiliates off the IBILL payout onto his own. His reasoning was that he was switching over to a cascading system, so IBILL would pay him, and he would then issue us checks. He really did buy a cascading system - I know cause I beta tested it.

I have not been paid, nor the rest of the affiliates in over 2 months. The last pay period I was paid for was 4/15-4/30. Whenever I speak to this sponsor (who I consider one of my best friends in this industry - we were very close), all I get is a scammer's story.. "I'll pay you today", "Checks have been sent", "I'll call you back" etc.

I am almost sure he has been receiving his IBILL wires on time, because I had multiple accounts with him.. one of the accounts I guess was not switched over to his propietary payout and I have received Ibill checks every week on time.

So I call up IBILL, and ask politely to be switched back onto their payout - to salvage my future rebills (which are somewhat significant). They politely tell me no, and that is the sponsor's decision. I explain to them how I am getting fucked by my sponsor, so every 2 weeks he gets his wire with my money, yet I don't get paid. I ask to speak to a manager. The rep assures me everyone there will tell me this same thing - "its the sponsors choice"

Ya know.. CCBILL made a step in the right direction to allow affiliates to see if they were getting shaved back in January. It's time for IBILL to either take a step in this direction, or show they don't care about the affiliates. So if you are an affiliate, and you are promoting an IBILL sponsor, beware, as IBILL will let you get fucked, and won't do anything to amend the situation. Considering all my personal details and payout amounts come up in their system, I think I should have a right to decide who pays me... IBILL, I am asking you to amend this situation and make it right, or forever let it be known that you don't care about the revsharers.

As for the individual sponsor, it won't be posted up right now, and I will have a thread dedicated to this at the right time, so If I am not paid, I can deal the biggest blow right before Internext. I will not sit around and be tooled around, and I will not let this get past internext without getting paid.
