What happens if you do $5000 in sales and..
 

they chargeback after the period pays out and you already have the money?

yes, this is a serious question, Ive only had maybe 2-3 chargebacks ever, and it was on next door nikki after the site wasnt updated anymore.

Teach me your ways? :)

sponsor fails probably if it was epass, and you have -5000$ on your account and you look like fraudster :D

it must have happened at some of the huge sponsors that paid out weekly, hard thing to swallow no doubt

You mean if all $5k worth of sales charge back?

shit I thought $275 in one day was a lot :error

I guess it depends on the sponsor. I know on some casino and poker sites if you have a negative balance it doesnt carry over, on others it does.

yes, but after the payout period and check is cashed

just curious on this.

up to them... they may contact you sooon :Oh crap or -$5k your account

in most cases they write it off i guess

i would keep the money for when they will call you up on GFY:upsidedow

btw you got a bigger pic of your avatar? :P

I would just keep them and switch sponsor ;) ( J/K )

Well its safe to say after that they probably won't want to work with you again. And from what you said it sounds like the site isn't being updated anymore so i doubt you have an interest in promoting them again. My guess would be for you both to walk away.

What do you mean what happens? You signup for another account, rinse and repeat... duh!

jk :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

hahaha..

it is bad :)

I got hit with around $5k in chargebacks on dialers a year later. but as the sponsor was paying me a month in arrears, I had to take the hit.

in a business like this, honesty pays off. Doing the right thing might lose you some money now, but I've found that 9 times out of 10 it pays off.

that was pretty bad in that case

I don't think it's unreasonable for the program to want the money returned, considering that $5k worth of chargebacks (all at once?) contrasts quite sharply with a total of 2-3 over several years (?). That's like a ding-ding-ding affiliate fraud warning.

Its strange the minimum... :(

They send somebody over to talk to you

Do they still allow you to login?

Id probably laugh then shit bricks

happened to me once with a year subscription on outpersonals.. they left my account open to promote, i just went negative whatever the amount was. way way less than 5k though

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yeah I guess.... it's only 5 grand...

i was just speaking Hypothetical

Didn't happen to me, just curious what would happen.

Ive only had 2-3 chargebacks ever, only because the site wasnt being updated anymore.

It would be a loss of a large amount of money, and possible merch account burn.
I'd send someone to sack you in the balls.

I was once in minus on lightspeedcash but recovered fast.

Years ago one of my affiliates on Verotel had a single chargeback which took her payout to negative... they immediately suspended her account and wanted her to pay the balance via CC before they re-enabled it. She told them to f. off and removed her links. With the account previously in good standing they effectively chased off the affiliate and lost future revenue.
