if the user bails and hangs up after 3 or 4 minutes because they are sick of waiting, does the webmaster get credit for those mins or do you keep that for yourself as no password was actually issued to the user?

Directly from the PBP FAQ:
What happens if a caller hangs up after 1 or 2 minutes! Do I get paid anyway?
Customers will call to receive a password and will stay on the phone to listen to their password about 98% to 99 % of the time. The caller listens to a interesting 4,5 minute announcement, followed by the password and the password repetition which results in average to a 5 minutes 15 seconds to 5 minutes 30 second call duration.
There are about 2 to 3 percent of callers who hang up during the first 30 to 60 seconds. Once the caller remains over 60 seconds on the phone he will want to listen to the password. After all, this is the reason why the caller is calling and therefore will stay the full duration on the phone. We included the very few "30 second hang ups" into our calculation and will pay for every password of the duration of 6 minutes instead of the 5 minutes 30 seconds. This means we pay for 30 seconds more than the actual holding time and this covers generously the few "30 second hang ups" you may have.
