You're kidding right? try and keep up a 5% -ve transaction volume on your merchant or processor account and see how quickly you get shut down. OK, so this is a single affiliate sending you 5% credits and chargebacks, so if your volume is high enough to absorb them it may be worth keeping the dodgy traffic. Still that's way, way high.
