LiveBucks changed payscale after $2500 in sales!

[mariah]

I signed up for LiveBucks and added their link to my members page. I was lucky to have a member show spent $2500 in 2 weeks, which gave me over $680 in commissions based on their pay scale.

their programs guideline says
0 to $399 =20%
400 to $999 25%
1000 to $2499 30%
2500 to 4999 35%

The stats page showed I am still at 20% even though in 5 days I sent them $2274.36 in sales. I icq'd the owner and asked about the payout scale and he told me this,
"We cannot justify paying you the scale since it's only one customer you've sent, and not a lot of traffic. Send more traffic and next time we'll payout what is quoted"

and then this: roy (6:27 PM) :
right, but in instances such as yours I can't justify the pay increase... we'd be losing money, those are meant to be basic guidelines not absolutes.. pay scale is determined on a case by case basis....

We went back and forth and he said well I will have someone add the fine print"

I know what you are all thinking, "well they are probably concerned about chargebacks and that it may be fraud", right?
Well, I initially contacted them to make sure it was one customer who always spends a lot on the live cam networks and not someone doing fraud.
The owner (KARL and ROY) both told me that this person had faxed a written agreement as well as his ID and both sides of his credit card and they dont charge webmasters back anyway.

So you tell me, is this the way things are supposed to go? or is this company with a good rep and that has been in business for 5 years just fucking me over becasue they can?

Thanks
