There are many forms of shaving. If you use a 3rd party processor redirect you are basically shaving. Be that thru cookie being set from just 1 hour to 3 days, not matching IP in absence of cookie or whatever

That doesn't necessarily mean custom script won't shave ofcourse but I believe most small guys would want to show affiliates more sales than big guys so they can earn their affiliate loyalty.. I like jp18 and think he uses a nice custom tracking script (which I assume took him months to prepare) to maximize credit for sales thru both his processors. I never really checked my stats with jp18 since I joined few months ago but I still use his hosted galleries on my TGPs cos those are some galleries I really like. I'd list them even if they were not hosted

At the same token, not bad to see emails reporting sales with jp18 every now and then anyways thou.
