There is also the issue of transaction cost - more frequent payments means more payout transactions, and those transactions cost money.

Many sponsors have minimum payouts of $100, which is about 4 sales. If you arent making 4 sales per pay period (for weekly payouts and $30 pps this is round about a sale every other day) then the minimum payout level is the least of your problems.
