Ravo, I don't get it, why you say this? Imo pps attracts fraud affils way more.. So for revshare affils it is very unlikely that the chargeback is because of fraud affil so why should they pay the fee?
Honestly, ~10 years in the biz, I met the very first sponsor who does this shit. This year I made over 4300 paysite membership sales, with 124 refunds and 18 chargebacks. 3 of these chargebacks are associated with this program. I've sent them 30+ joins in a month or so. No refunds, these are chargebacks. Don't blame the traffic, with this traffic I have good conversions and low refund/cb ratio for other sponsors.
If I send 30 sales to a revshare program and 3 does chargeback, it means something. I was trying to get their site reviewed, that way we'd see the member area, etc. My crew used to only send joins to sites we did check in depth and do like/'approve' . We're not pushing any programs where we find the surfer experience to be crappy. This particular site has Great content in a niche we have experience [interracial] but it seems something smells behind the curtains..
Back to the topic: imo all sponsor programs should eat all such fees. If they keep an eye on the details of the chargebacks and find a certain affiliate having bad sales/cb ratio: they should suspend, pass the fees, whatever. Of course it is a Must in such a case to contact the affiliate and discuss the problem with him.
