    CCbill shouldve known better, stupid asswipers.

    After all these years even they should know that people are scumbags...give them an option to cheat and people will use it.
    CCbill is as guilty as the program owners using it imo.

    How about a list of program that use the limited rebilling option?

    Im sure there are plenty by now.

          But its actually good because they publicly display that information. If a program chooses to shave you see it up front clear as day, so it actually helps to reveal a few shavers that would have just gone a different route in my opinion.

          As long as that information is publicly viewable I dont see this as a bad action at all.

          Take Luck!

              i believe jesus is keeping track in his sig
              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR.
              Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
              Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                          CCbill made it possible.
                          Making this possible + money hungry idiots is as 1 + 1 = 2
                          And im pretty sure ccbill can count.

                              Valid point, but think about all of the people who are getting ripped off but at least now know they are.

                              Would you rather live in a world where everyone shaves and you dont know about it, or one where if a sponsor decides to shave you can clearly see it.

                              Sure after you sign up you may think not to check the sponsors info, but after this, Im sure everyone has already gone through their list of CCBill affiliates clicking each one to make sure there are no shady options set. So those who thought they were sneaky and tried to cheat you are getting uncovered and exposed, damaging their reputations and revealing themselves as cheaters.

                              Otherwise they would go unnoticed. Sure it creates a situation to be ripped off, but Im sure there are also some practical uses, but really since the information is publicly viewable a quick check and you know whos on the up and up.

                                  Well it might could HAVE been used legit. FOr example when program owners want to pay 80% first 3 months. And then 0%.

                                  Or something like that...I mean that your car CAN drive 300 KM/h doesn't mean you HAVE to...

                                              This option is obviously for webmasters paying 100% on the first sale and 0% on others. This way you can easily run a pay-per-signup (not recurring) program with CCBill.

                                                  I dont think ccbill implemented that feature to help program owners to rip off affiliates, i think it more or less has to do with payouts.

                                                  But in any case they should have made this info available to the affiliate long ago

                                                      Exactly, thats perfect, because a person who turns it on, if it's not there would just eventually find a program that would allow them to do it. Maybe they didnt have the cash to spring for their own affiliate software, then bam, CCBill offers this, so they start shaving happily away, not realizing that they are actually airing their dirty laundry.

                                                      Think about it, if PerfectionGirls wasnt using CCBill but some other program that had this option but didnt display it publicly webmasters would still be getting shaved and not know about it, now one other cheating affiliate program is revealed instead.

                                                      Sure, CCBill's decision to include the option is questionable, perhaps they did have some valid requests, maybe they didnt, but they display all information publicly, showing that they want each person who signs up to be clear on the terms. And its not something thats hidden behind fifty different links and impossible to find.

                                                      Take Luck!

                                                          I think they have a separate option for that aside from rebilling, specifically for pay-per-sign up.

I mean, i read a thread a while ago when i think corvett was explaining the benefits of the bonuses, and different payout structures, but it was very alarming to see that someone could simply whack in a shave without any bonuses. Looked like a huge oversight, and you'd be a fool to think that a lot of affiliate programs haven't been using it.

                                                                                          Hell, everyone knew this information was going to be available to affiliates, and something like 13 sponsors have already been found to be shaving affiliates with the feature.

                                                                                          Makes you wonder how many were doing it prior to this.

                                                                                          Yeah, different payout structures. That's great, but they should have had a system in place to prevent people from simply ending rebills prematurely like that. Especially since most of these programs are pushing the "earn for the life of the customer" bullshit.
                                                                                          26 + 6 = 1

                                                                                              Or saying that when some madman picks up a gun and shoots up a McDonald's, it's not the madman's fault, it's Smith & Wesson's fault.

                                                                                              The fault here lies completely and squarely on the backs of the sponsors who used it in an unethical and immoral way.
                                                                                              CCBill has no responsibility to be the morality police. Their responsibility is to provide processing for their clients. Period.

                                                                                              Rather than taking your anger out on CCBill, start calling up the scamming sponsors and bitching THEM out. THEY are the ones who took this feature and used it for scamming purposes.

If a program chooses to shave you see it up front clear as day, so it actually helps to reveal a few shavers that would have just gone a different route in my opinion.

                                                                                                      As long as that information is publicly viewable I dont see this as a bad action at all.
                                                                                                      Why did it take so long for all this to get exposed? Glad I never use any CCBILL sponsors.

                                                                                                          It's like saying that because GM makes cars that *can* go 100mph, then GM is responsible for all speeders who get into accidents... NOT the idiot drivers themselves.

                                                                                                          Or saying that when some madman picks up a gun and shoots up a McDonald's, it's not the madman's fault, it's Smith & Wesson's fault.

                                                                                                          The fault here lies completely and squarely on the backs of the sponsors who used it in an unethical and immoral way.
                                                                                                          CCBill has no responsibility to be the morality police. Their responsibility is to provide processing for their clients. Period.

                                                                                                          Rather than taking your anger out on CCBill, start calling up the scamming sponsors and bitching THEM out. THEY are the ones who took this feature and used it for scamming purposes.
                                                                                                          You and i think very differently on this matter.

                                                                                                              I personally have 15 CCBill sponsors. Out of those 15, 2 of them are using the feature in a fair way (and it is documented on their signup page) and the rest aren't using it at all (unlimited signups).

                                                                                                              Only one sponsor is paying a lower percentage than what they promised, and that has nothing to do with the rebill cutoff feature.

                                                                                                              Think of the hundreds upon hundreds of sponsors using CCBill, and there are only about 13 that have been caught cheating??
                                                                                                              That right there is proof enough that the ones using it to cheat are the rarity, not the norm.

Out of those 15, 2 of them are using the feature in a fair way (and it is documented on their signup page) and the rest aren't using it at all (unlimited signups).

                                                                                                                      Only one sponsor is paying a lower percentage than what they promised, and that has nothing to do with the rebill cutoff feature.

                                                                                                                      Think of the hundreds upon hundreds of sponsors using CCBill, and there are only about 13 that have been caught cheating??
                                                                                                                      That right there is proof enough that the ones using it to cheat are the rarity, not the norm.
                                                                                                                      1 sponsor who is cheating is already enough and ccbill made it possible.

                                                                                                                      You are justifying 13 sponsors who cheat...oh its only 13 sponsors so far out of 100's.

                                                                                                                      Great thinking.

NOT the idiot drivers themselves.

                                                                                                                                                  The fault here lies completely and squarely on the backs of the sponsors who used it in an unethical and immoral way.
                                                                                                                                                  CCBill has no responsibility to be the morality police. Their responsibility is to provide processing for their clients. Period.

                                                                                                                                                  Rather than taking your anger out on CCBill, start calling up the scamming sponsors and bitching THEM out. THEY are the ones who took this feature and used it for scamming purposes.

I don't care if people think this option didn't have legitimate uses. It did. I might use it myself one day. I don't want it removed because idiots blame the tools and the not the terrorist.

Im sure some of these bigger unethical sponsors are super pissed at them for letting the cat out of the bag.

                                                                                                                                                          One interface for all of them. Easier to support, easier to fix bugs, easier to update.

NOT the idiot drivers themselves.

                                                                                                                                                              Or saying that when some madman picks up a gun and shoots up a McDonald's, it's not the madman's fault, it's Smith & Wesson's fault.

                                                                                                                                                              The fault here lies completely and squarely on the backs of the sponsors who used it in an unethical and immoral way.
                                                                                                                                                              CCBill has no responsibility to be the morality police. Their responsibility is to provide processing for their clients. Period.

                                                                                                                                                              Rather than taking your anger out on CCBill, start calling up the scamming sponsors and bitching THEM out. THEY are the ones who took this feature and used it for scamming purposes.

Just happens a few asswipe webmaster cheated with it.

With all the recent exposures even before this, I'm glad that option is now available for affilliates to see.

                                                                                                                                                                                      http://www.yoursponsor.com/link.php?s=site&r=YOURID
                                                                                                                                                                                      so there is still the possibility to shave.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Oh come on, give me a fucking break. Ofcourse they cant check every site but they friggin knew this was going on. Everybody with 2 braincells knows this system would be abused. They had to notify up of the fact that that option is available and at least an email or something when a program activated it. Period. You can keep defending them but theres no way to talk this right.
