You guys are killing me. CCBill has these same POSTBACK features you just have to dig for them a little bit. I use them on nubiles.net

I do agree the tracking does suck on CCBill, however it can be fixed quite easily. As far as tracking using cookies and IPs, here are the two problems.

Cookies: get deleted, new browsers block them, spyware removers nuke them.

IPs: dynamic IP's and proxys really fuck it up. I know because I tried to use IP protection on our members area and found that ALOT of people were behind dynamic and or proxy IPs that are constantly changing.

So how do you fix it with CCBill? implement your own session tracking using the affiliates ID at the end of the linking code, ie http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clic...?coupon=611105

You can then carry the ID all the way to the join form, which takes precedents over the cookie. No more losing sales to lost cookies or dynamic ips.
