Does Clickbank steal your commissions?

Does Clickbank steal your commissions? Well, it depends on your point of view… Clickbank and the Clickbank market place are one of the biggest, if not the biggest affiliate site for digital products online. Now, to the question, Does Clickbank steal your commissions? That is a judgement call and again, depends on your point of view. In order to be paid out by Clickbank, as of right now, you have to have at least 5 transactions, and they have to be of two different payment methods, and PayPal doesn’t count as one of those. My interpretation of this is that you have to have a Visa card and a Mastercard pay for something, and they have to be from five different cards. If you don’t meet this minimum threashold, you dont’ get paid. Now, for the question at hand – does clickbank steal your commissions? – I’ve supposedly made over a few hundred dollars at clickbank, and have yet to receive a commission check from them. They have slowly dwindled away at my earnings, since I haven’t met the minimum threshold, they take charges out each month, up to $50 per month, as fees for “dormant” accounts… So, they definately get away with not paying quite a bit in commissions. Definately a questionable practice and seems like it’s at minimum not right, and possibly should be against the law. In my opinion, the answer to the question of Does Clickbank steal your commissions is… you make the call…
