There is the possibility that you are right. Generally as an affiliate I prefer as much as possible to be fully automatic when it comes to my commissions. When it becomes a manual process I have observed that certain things tend to happen more often to delay or remove me from my commissions. For instance one very large company seems to have most people's commissions manually reviewed. Further it seems they also have a policy of reviewing sales within a couple days after they are made. The problem with this is I keep noticing a constant pattern of large $ value sales being "refunded" at an unusual frequency right around the time where it seems an employee is manually reviewing things. It seems like such an unlikely coincidence to me that mainly the large $ value sales are refunded. I do not have this issue with large $ sales with other sponsors. But hand signing checks or manual processes hardly means such things occurring in themselves.
