So my money was mixed in with affiliate money AND the sales that were made through third pary billers were costing me money for absolutely no reason.

Change your spash page (welcome/warning page) to send to a type-in tour with no affiliate codes on it. Then set up a merchant account for yourself through Netbilling just for that type in tour. Work on your SEO for that tour and/or the warning page.

If your site is good and you are good at promoting it yourself...you will make more money with your own merchant account. There's no need to pay CC Bill 15% for your type in traffic...they aren't sending out affiliate checks on that money. Keep it for yourself. You earned it.
