Thanks for reply but my question about tracking referred to an affiliate being able to track where his sales were coming from. I see a few others asking the same question but don't see an answer yet. I think Jimm_Gunn sums up what a lot of people currently do.
"If an affiliate has say multiple blogs, free sites and other traffic sources and that affiliate send traffic to multiple different CCBill sponsors, there is currently no way to do proper tracking of what sources you sales came from! Not unless you use the horribly awkward kludge of signing up for the same CCBill sponsors multiple times with multiple affiliate id's and using each one for one source of traffic- ie, each individual blog post or banner! "

The last part of my original post referred to "How will the 'who gets the sale' differ from the current system?".
From your replies to Scotty.T you are saying that an affiliate gets the credit for a sale even although the surfer hasn't used that particular affiliates link to visit the site???
Either you are not grasping what is being asked or this is very very wrong. You can't have universal ID's overwriting cookies when the site hasn't even been visited.
I'm sure this is not the case but this is what I would like to clarify.
