Most revshare programs use CCBill and all the ones I've checked typically set a cookie for several days at least. In this way, even though you might lose some sales due to the surfer blocking cookies, you might gain some if the surfer comes back later, even as a type-in.. In "most" cases, PPS programs dont' set a cookie but track your affliate ID thru their pages. This way, you're pretty much quarenteed the signup if it occurs right away. But any traffic that goes back days later will be pure profit for that company. That's one of the ways they can afford to do PPS.

It doesn't. Shaving is a sale that doesn't get credited to the affiliate. Scrubbing, no one gets an money, not even the processing company. Well.. Other than whatever fees they might have in place.

My first thought is that the old system was tracking uniques or "qualified" and in Nats you're seeing Raw. Would need more info to really know.

I would say yes, CCBill isn't going to be the problem. Every program/site owner can screw you out of sales, even with CCBill.. For example, one of my sponsors had links to more of their sites using their own code. So I would lose those sales as their cookie would overwrite mine (they've redone their tours since I bitched to them). A CCBill program could have some pages that do a redirect thru CCBill to overwrite your cookie as well.
