you guys are seriously entirely missing my point.
have any of you guys ever even had a merchant account? i have. and i have been shut down. i speak from experience. not "opinion".
this is not an affiliates vs program owner thing i am trying to create. i think affiliates can be a huge help to a program and all that jazz. But i am talking about todays REAL BUSINESS CLIMATE. not i want to be friends with everyone lets talk lies.
These days you need more and more credit and capital to open a "large" merchant. These days banks can close your merchant and it usually takes MINIMUM 3 months for seeing your cash. IF you're lucky.
and you dont even have to be doing anything "shady". If they feel your site is even remotely questionable they are going to shut you down.
why with this info as a site owner/merchant account owner would you risk getting shut down because of what someone MIGHT DO.
i don't have 3 months to waste or millions to sue banks etc etc. do you? if not then you should understand the current climate and what it means to the affiliate.
there is nothing else to chat about i am 100% right. because i talk via experience.
this is not a bash on affiliates this is REALITY.
