My guess of what I read was the cashing of US checks, cashing them in the EU is very expensive and banks tend to keep them pending for up to 60 days....Quote:

Maybe he could just change it to Epassporte or wire to slash future costs to a minimum
Does anyone actually have proof that the affiliate was paid out? Not doubting what GayBucks is claiming, however, anyone can say they mailed a check out, there is no real proof when using the USPS unless you get deliver confirmation. :cyclist:Quote:

There is a rather easy way of finding out in NATS. The affiliate in question just has to look at the payments.php page to see if it has ever been paid out. That said, just because someone has been around, doesn't mean that in desperate situations people get desperate. How many people got fucked by some of the billing companies, and how many other companies in adult. It has been a ton.Quote:

That being said, its not just GayBucks that I am speaking of, there are many other companies that are falling behind on payments and no one is speaking out about them or saying anything in public, which I find kinda sad, as the purpose of these boards is to help each other out, and help each other avoid these kinds of problems.
On the same general note however, I do find it interesting that I get paid out regularly for Suite 703 sites, and they can't even do updates. LOL
I'll tell you what. I've done it before and I'll do it again in a heartbeat. Why? Because it works.Quote:

Funny how it's always the same programs giving the same or similar excuses.
There are those who think they've mastered the art the affiliate run-around. You're really not so clever after all.
I wasn't saying anything about about those that do it. Just the opposite. What I am saying is that NO affiliate should have to go to a board to get a pay out. They should be paid out according to the schedule in the terms in conditions on the site that they agree to.Quote:

Agreed. However, when the program breaks their own terms and conditions and continually gives the run-around, then I strongly encourage affiliates to out the programs on the boards.Quote:
