Affiliate Programs & Check Cutting/Processing Fees

I know this is going off subject but it is like here in the UK, you purchase an item, go to check-out and we have 17.5% vat added. However, many online companies do not add the 17.5% until after they have added the postage on so were also paying 17.5% on the postage charge

I'm not sure what the law is in the UK re: VAT, but here in the US it varies by State whether or not the shipping should be included when calculating sales tax.

There is a $2 fee to send transfers from business account.

My personal experience is that some programs pass it on to the webmaster others don't.

Isn't that a little high when you consider that:
1 - a pier to pier transfer is only $0.25
2 - the amount of transactions that an affiliate program would do in each pay period would justify a discount due to the large volume
