not sure what you're saying here, i want to know because I do plan on using CCBILL and Epoch is a cascade using CCBILL's affiliate backend. Maybe there's something I'm not aware of - CCBILL told me it was simple.

Getting setup with the cascade is relatively simple, tho if you have miltiple pricing options it can get a little tricky. Plus there is a certain amount of cross-communication between the two billers, and sometimes they speak differant technological languages so often you, the site owner, is the translater. LOL But getting setup is doable.
What I meant is this: Say a CCBill affiliate sends his traffic to your site and gets a sale. Great! If the surfer signs up with CCBill he gets his 1/2 and if the surfer signs up with Epoch he gets his 1/2. All good, the affiliate gets paid (always a good thing).
But if you switched the cascade, and the surfer signed up with Epoch, his $29.95 ends up in Epoch's bank, so to speak. So where does the $15 that goes to the affiliate come from? From your CCBill account, not your Epoch account. In other words, Epoch doesn't physically put $15 back into your CCBill account, they just tell CCBill who should get credit for the sale. So then it's up to YOU, CCBill account holder, to pay that CCBill affiliate.
So it's entirely possible - I have had this happen a few times now - that you can make 20 sales, say, with Epoch, all of them affiliate sales, and then check your CCBill account to find a negative daily balance. WTF? The affiliate has to get paid remember, so the funds were taken out of your weekly payout amount. If you had enough in non-affiliate CCBill sales, or rebills, or both, then maybe you would see a small profit.
So what I heard was that CCBill was looking into differant ways to get CCBill affiliates paid other than the above scenario.
