Hey. I got a letter.
"Simonscans is returning to CCBill for primary biller and affiliate management.
After a lot of thought we?ve taken the difficult decision to cease using NATS and return to CCBill. NATS is a great system and TMM have been faultless with their support, but for a small program and site like Simonscans it consumes far too much of our time and energy.
The change just has happened today. NATS is switched OFF, CCBill is switched ON.
I realise you have some instant questions, so lets get straight to it.
Q. Do I need to change all my links?
A. No, we have teamed up with Sliiing and they?ve done an amazing job of importing most of the existing affiliates from NATS into their system. If you previously had an affiliate account for Simonscans at CCBill from when we last used CCBill, your links are automatically converted from NATS to CCBill and will track new sales.
If your CCBill details are correctly loaded in Sliiing you will have received an email from their systems with your log in info for their site.
We?ve done our best to merge the two databases, but please check by following one of your links to the first page of the tour, you should see an url that ends:-
...com/samples/?CA=912363-0000&PA=XXXXXXX
Where XXXXXXX is your CCBIll ID.
If you see ?PA=0? then you need to either sign up here http://www.simonscans.com/affiliates/ or email us direct if you already have a CCBill ID but the system hasn?t picked it up and we will manually link it.
Q. Will I get paid the outstanding amounts owed in NATS?
A. Yes.
Q. Will I lose my rebills from NATS members?
A. Yes, we?ve not been able to find a way around this. As I said at the beginning, this has been a difficult choice, carry on as we are working with an unsuitable system or move to something that suits us both better. Moving forward, we strongly believe that using CCBill as our primary biller is something that will work well for all sides. We get more time to concentrate on shooting and you get the benefit of CCBills perfect record for on time payments.
Q. What is Sliiing?
A. Sliiing is a set of webmaster tools and stats that works seamlessly with CCBill links. With or without Sliiing your CCBill links for Simonscans will still track and your payouts are sent by CCBill exactly as normal for CCbill sales. You can check your stats at both CCBill and at Sliiing. Sliiing extends CCBill but in no way does it interfere with it.
However, as we are moving from one system to another the developers at Sliiing have gone out of there way to support us by coding some scripts to translate NATS encoded links into CCBill encoded links so that your sales will track on those legacy links you already have in place. All the galleries in the new affiliate area are coded with regular CCBill links, no translation code needed. It?s therefore up to you if you wish to leave galleries exactly as they are, or swap right away to CCBill links.
I?ll apologise one more time for the disruption these changes will no doubt have caused you, I just hope you?ll forgive me and that we can move forward together making money as we go "
Then I checked in CCBill. Wrote his Simonscans my CCBill ID .Received the answer from Simonscans that it's done. But I checked and concluded that the links do not work.I removed all of its content from their sites.
And now refer to him that he had closed the account on me NATS and I paid the money that is there.
andresss my account and in the balance $ 99.36. Pay me on paxum.com. Payment information in my account andresss in http://nats.simonscans.com.
