ugh... alright since I see my thread bumped and I did end up getting a response, I suppose I should post it here...
I really don't know what to say about the reason I got, maybe someone who knows more can assure me that everything is okay.
and I still don't feel like mentioning the company.
but when inquiring about the missing money, I was told it was a bonus "added by our programmers by mistake due to launching a wrong filter script."
I know nothing about backend stats of programs and how they run, but that sounds like something that could happen?
A bonus added by mistake by a wrong filter script mistakingly launched. That was the reason my $45 disappeared, and my sales "didn't qualify."
so whatever, blame the programmer, I guess it happens... right?
