    I am only summarising what people have said in the previous posts.

    I have had over 3 sales and still have not received payment. I keep getting deducted money though. That seems the only thing they want to do with me is to take away $1 on a bi-weekly basis.

    I have reaced just over $25 on two occasions, but still have not received anything.

    Overall I have earn't them around $50, but with all of the deductions I have lost most of that and am currently under the $25 mark again.

    I got my first check after one sale (30 dollars) and currently I'm making 25-50$ a day from clickbank and I get my checks twice a month every month.
    I'm italian.

    They send me a check every 15 days (which it was Paypal, though, but what the hey). No scam on this end.

    I am living out of the US, quite happy with CJ but considering to expand the offering, and so thinking to add Click Bank merchants.

    What is the reason why they charge non-US webmasters $1 every 2 weeks ?
    It means more than $100 over a year.

    I could not find anything related to it in their policy or FAQ.

    Can someone please confirm that so that I can definitely forget ClickBank. Thanks.

    Don't you mean it is around $26 over a year. I think you may have mistaken 2 weeks as 2 days or something.

    I've never had any problems with clickbank.
    So, does this mean you aren't using any affiliate link protector/masker on your end?
    People maybe stealing your income if you don;t. Here's what I do: I normally hide my affiliate links with affiliate link masker/cloakers/redirection pages. You could use tinyurl or make a redirection from any page in your site or use link cloakers (there are a few free ones as well.) this way people wont be able to see the links so they can't remove your ID and replace with theirs.

    Uhhhhhhh I earn money with Clickbank all the time. I didn't read every post here but quickly glancing over the first post, Clickbank requires you to sell to people in 4 different countries/states/provinces before they issue you a paycheck.

    Regards

    what is the typical refund/chargeback rate at clickbank -- based upon the stuff I have seen sold there it must be as high as 15%. Is this really only for MLM type products?

    I've heard it's much less. I guess it depends on what products are being sold.

    More of the refunds will be on products in the "make money" sector as they are usually full of ****.

    This is direct from ClickBank FAQ:

    Just be patient and you will get your first cheque.

    it's not a scam at all. I just started about a month ago and already have over $3000 in revenue. I also got my first check this week.

    Yeah it sounds like you are an affiliate so you need to keep going with your promotions and earn a couple of sales before they pay you for just one.
