I cringe every time I get a foreign country forex sale

    When I say foreign country, I mean countries outside the United States, Canada, Australia, and Western Europe.

    I stopped actively promoting forex products, but I still get conversions and I know there's an even higher refund rate when it's some foreign country.

    I guess it's better to get the sales even if 25% of them refund, since I'll end up ahead, but it's hard psychologically. You have the sale and than it is brutally taken away from you lol.

    Yeah, it happens to me too. It's very sad to see over $80 saying goodbye to you after nearly two months. Just a few more days and the refund time was over.

    ahhh, I got another one for the exact same forex product. At least this one was American. Sort of odd that they both paid with paypal though.

    It would suck with PPC. I imagine most "make money" products have a high refund rate.

    Mate, the refund time with CB is never really over. After 60 days, if you contact both CB and your credit card company I guarantee you that you will get your money back.

    Unfortunately a customer did that to me few months ago.:mad:

    I had 4 refunds of my product (How to make money niche) from India.
    3 of them were refunded the same day they were purchased ...

    Gotta love these countries....

    Bro, don't blame CB for this. ALL credit card companies (in USA atleast) allow their customers 5 refunds per year (approx. forgotten the exact figure). So it could be any company, it just happened to be CB in your case. So blame the Credit Card company NOT CB.

    Well, this might sound unbelievable:
    Clickbank refunds sales without the buyer asking for a refund!!! How do I know? I bought 2-3 products with my own affiliate link and with different names and credit cards and after a week or two I saw that those commissions were refunded.
    They have problems with Paypal too, because I can't use my account no more.
    Let me mention that I never asked for a refund or used fake cards or other crappy things like that.

    I cannot believe cb does that, practically you are saying they are against their business witch is impossible. What I cannot understand is why a few people do try to "attack" clickbank indirectly. Nino2007, dont get it wrong but you seem to be doing the same thing. What I think is that the few that are not successfull with clickbank purely invents a thing or another to disregard the company.. am I right?:)

    Why should I attack Clickbank???:eek: I want them to work well because they are an important part in my business. I am willing to help them however I can if they need it... I LOVE CB!
    I've sent an email asking them why they refunded those transactions and they said that there was fraud attempt, but I SWEAR that those names (my sister's and my brother's) and those credit cards(my sister's and my brother's) are 100% true and I was using them in a legit way.
    Do you want me to post a screenshot with a few elements unblurred to prove what I am saying?

    One of the Forex sales was refunded and it was the American sale. I guess that's to be suspected from someone that lives in New York.

    yeah, not been a good week for all markets including the Forex market, I think some people will be taking some losses with forex robots and then looking for a refund. It is great when you make the money and crushing when you get a few refunds. I am not using ppc to minimise my risk going forward.

    Good luck out there folks.

    Oh no, another forex sale. I guess people are looking to make money now, The thing that sucks is that refunding is a great way to save money.
