    it depends on product you promote my average refund rate was 5-6% before July then when clickbank made refund process much easier my refund rate is ~10-12% :( ( it is for survey and make money products)

    Forex products will be higher.. just be carefull but you can make more money because the commission is higher.

    In some niches, the refund is so FAST that it happens within minutes.

    Health and fitness. Usually because people need to complete a full program before they know whether or not it worked. If a program lasts 12 weeks, and refund option is 8 weeks, there's no way they can refund the product if it does not work.

    I promote a PE product and my refund rate is tiny - like about 1-2%. I'd be surprised if you got a refund.

    I think it will be good of click bank to include as part of their analytics interface number of refund form impressions :D

    Today I regret choosing clickbank its a waste of time to promote cb product while cb is offering your money back to the buyer :mad:

    You will never know if or when a return is made. There is no link between the affiliate and the publisher to know the truth about anything. Who is to say your not selling double what your selling now?

    I have some days with as much as 10K of traffic and never had a sale. Some days I have only a few impressions with sales. It's never going to make since even if you try so give up or get out.

    All we have to do is deal with it until someone comes up with some hard facts to follow

    if you was that worried you caould always get a friend to buy something cheap and see if it goes through and then they could jsut get a refind since its so easy -.-

    Also if you change your account toa new one you magically seem to get more impressions and buys... but im no conspiracy theory guy....

    Just to share my experience.

    Clickbank approved a refund for one of the sales that I made even though the money back guarantee period (8 weeks) was over. Emailed them about this but no reply was received.
