Affiliate Programs & Check Cutting/Processing Fees

[Useless]

I'm a check guy and, as of yet, haven't allowed any sponsor to pay me via Epass. It's not easier for me to put my money into someone else's bank. Want to make it easier? Deposit my funds directly into MY bank - you know, the one I chose, not the one you did. Otherwise, send me a fucking check and don't act like, after hundreds of years of successful use, they're suddenly a great big pain in the ass.

Also, I've done a variety of independent contractor jobs, from selling high-end barbecue grills to home security systems. All on a pay per sale basis. Never, had any company charged me for MY pay. It's a cost of doing business that typically isn't passed onto those who were bastardly enough to send sales your way. If those sales are so god damned aggravating, just let the sales people know and they'll shift their efforts elsewhere.

Since I have all my accounts merged & only get one check, based on 100 or so CCBill sponsors, I think you owe me $0.03 for the last 4 years

With most, checks are the default & you have to pay for another option that you wish to use. With Mayor's Money, ePass is not the default & you have to pay for the checks. I think everyone has a default that's best for their business model & if you choose a different option, you have to pay for it.

That does bring us back to the Independent Contractor angle on this & the fact that we all get 1099's, but I doubt you'll find another industry that charges you for your payment.
