But, this brings up an interesting point, that I'd like to get your opinion on. Since I don't trust *any* third payment processor, I was thinking of adding something like the following to our terms and conditions;
"We strongly encourage the use of our direct payment options (check, money order, draft, wire). If you choose to use a third party payment processor (eg. Payoneer, Paypal, Paxum), our responsibility to you ends once we fund our account at the third party processor. We are not responsible for the solvency of the third party processor."
Or, is that too harsh?? Your thoughts?

If the affiliate does not get their money in their account then they have not been paid (how would the affiliate know you really transferred the money to the processor at all until it actually gets put into their account?). If on the other hand you transfer it to the affiliate's account (and the affiliate's payout preference is currently set to do this) and the affiliate's account at the payment processor gets frozen then you did pay the affiliate and the affiliate needs to take it up with the payment processor. If you don't trust the payment processor you should not use them at all.
