How I lost nearly $200 in ClickBank commissions

by khtm
57 replies
I recently learned that my ClickBank commissions were slowly drained out of my account last year.

I know, I know ... I'm an idiot for not staying on top of things, but it's pretty easy to forget about an affiliate account when there's so many other things to worry about



If I had set the payment threshold to $10 rather than $200, I would have been paid.

But instead, according to ClickBank support:
"Dormant accounts are subject to a charge of $1 per pay period after 90 days of no earnings, $5 per pay period after 180 days of no earnings, and $50 per pay period after 365 days of no earnings."

    This happened to me several years ago, and I was checking my account every day.

    I was new to IM and promoting one product. My threshold was the lowest possible amount, but I lost all my commissions from four sales. First Clickbank claimed that I needed customers to use different payment methods before I could get paid. (The first two orders were via Paypal.) Then I had four orders, yet I still didn't get paid. I wrote to CB asking for clarification, but I never got a response. Then I noticed my account was dwindling every month due to fees for not having any new sales for that month. Within a few months, my account balance was zero. Yes, I wrote and complained, but nothing happened.

    Needless to say, I have never used Clickbank again.

    If I had been paid my commissions that would have motivated me to promote the product more.

    I know that many have success selling CB products, but for me, it seemed as though CB kept changing the rules.

    I made my first money in IM when I purchased master resell rights to a product. Now I am creating my own products so I can have more control over my income.

    Cash out as soon as possible once you have hit their payment release criteria! Of course, I can understand why CB is doing this, they want you to keep on promoting their products.. Which will then be a win-win situation for both you and CB.

    Cheers!

    Yup - This happened to me as well. Probably one of the worst things an affiliate company could do is take away earnings made by their publishers. I even wrote a blog post about it trashing Clickbank and recommending all affiliates stay away.

    I don't care what anyone says, NO affiliate company should ever try and take earnings away from their hard working affiliates. Sadly, that's exactly what clickbank does (and I hope one day they pay a big price for it)...

    Clickbank is the only network that does this which is very unfriendly to newbies. This happened to me years ago as well. As a result, I stopped promoting Clickbank for several years until I was confident of getting consistent sales.

      No, the fees only start accruing after you have made sales.

      I don't think so, I think they'll only slowly steal your money if you have some in your account, because ours stopped when it hit $0

    In case anyone needs to see the relevant quote from CB:

    "Accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are considered dormant. Dormant accounts are subject to a charge of $1 per pay period after 90 days of no earnings, $5 per pay period after 180 days of no earnings, and $50 per pay period after 365 days of no earnings."

    I want to get into affiliate marketing and list building, and am planning to use Clickbank to promote products. Basically, if you have some money made from sales, but you don't get any more sales after 90 days, they can take away your money if it's still in your account??

      Ed you can change that by simply setting the payment threshold to $10 (I think the default is $100).

      It's under Settings ==> Payment Information.

      Then you won't have to worry about payments collecting dust there.

        But where is the justification, this does not compute.

        If it is a bonafide fee it should be charged regardless of the amount in your account. If you don't have enough money you are in debt.

        What you seem to be saying, is if you don't take YOUR OWN MONEY they will take it. By what legal right can they do that? It seems only if you did not object.

        Thanks, James!

        I just changed it to $10.00 and getting paid via direct deposit every week.

        Still, Clickbank shouldn't be allowed to do that. Whatever and whenever you earned something, you keep for good.

        Does JVZoo do this?

          Agreed! I've ran my own affiliate programs and would never think of having "dormant account" fees. As if our money sitting in ClickBank's account is SUCH a burden on them lol. Shady shady shady.

          IMO it really just boils down to greed and bad business.

    This is not just clickbank but most programs that will pay you money will have a theshold at which you will get paid. It is often SOP for a company to do this. As a rule should always set the payment theshold at the minimum. You will get paid sooner this way.

    You want your money. You do not want them to hold on to your money for you.

    Yes they came up with a policy a few years ago where they charge your account a certain percentage for inactivity or for no sales. That is why there was a mass exodus of affiliates to other network like JVZOO. I have stopped promoting clickbank products a long while now. Worst yet there refund rates are very high for digital downloads.

    Hahaha that's amazing. You can't even pack up and take your ball and go home: they keep the ball as well!

    But just to play devil's advocate for a sec, although it's a dick move (and it most certainly is) seems like a pretty good way to either keep people promoting (which makes the vendors happy) or keep away the non-serious (if you were in CB's shoes, would you rather have a platform that attract serious affiliates, or newbs?)

      Lol there have been a few warriors who have made this mistake. Just be glad you're not the guy who set his minimum to something like $2000. When he was an affiliate for a big launch he made like $1850 or something and slowly watched his account rot

      Just set that minimum early so even when you have slow months you still get paid.

  • I think many affiliates or vendors with multiple accounts might have experienced this and have been guilty of "not staying on top of things" at one time or another.

    Many years ago, due to an oversight with a product that we stopped nurturing in order to keep the account in the green, this resulted eventually in deductions into the hundreds of dollars, and eventually they closed that account.

    (Same policy reasons)


    Which brings me to some of the responses in this thread:

    "was not aware" "Shady" "shouldn't be allowed" "Never knew this"

    "It is theft" "this is not fair" "steal your money" "can it even be legal"


    You know,

    You did sign up and "agree" to this one way or the other!

    Whether that be via a long policy agreement that you scroll down and click to agree, or via some statement that says something similar to: "BY CHECKING THE BOX STATING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AS PART OF YOUR REGISTRATION WITH CLICKBANK, YOU AGREE AND CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BLA BLA BLA and BLA BLA BLA....


    It's interesting how some of you take for granted the fact that you get to use a service such as Clickbank for free, which allows you to grab a link, promote it, and then you get money in your bank without you having to deal with all the technical complications and expenses that such a company has to deal with in order to make that happen.

    So I would say it's a fair deal that you get your money deducted (which you agreed to) so they can cover their overhead costs of maintaining your dormant account.

    Depending on your email settings, they do send out notifications regarding your account. So I'd say that the only "unfair" thing would be to use words such as theft and stealing, as you don't seem to mind when things swing the other way, and you are getting paid!

      You don't get it for free you get it because they will make from you. I don't think draining down someone's account like that is fair trading, it is extortion. Also they should be happy that the money sits in the account as they get interest on it.

      The terms are buried deep in their accounting policy page. We as affiliates are required by the FTC to disclose affiliate links in a transparent manner (read: someone doesn't have to go wading through our disclaimer to find out it was an affiliate link they clicked). So what if they put the following notice right below the affiliate sign up link:

      ClickBank will withhold payment of any balance until an account shows a minimum of 5 sales using at least two payment methods. In addition, accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are considered dormant. Dormant accounts are subject to a charge of $1 per pay period after 90 days of no earnings, $5 per pay period after 180 days of no earnings, and $50 per pay period after 365 days of no earnings. It is your responsibility to manage your account to prevent dormant fees. ClickBank will not notify you when your account is dormant.
      That would make it ethically transparent what they do on the backend, but they know it would affect their conversion rate for affiliate signups, so they just do the bare minimum necessary. It's a shitty policy, that's why forum threads like this see the light of day.

    What Arnold just said has a lot of harsh reality and truth in it.

    The fact is Clickbank is free to join as an affiliate and they are paying you for being a good affiliate and bringing them customers.

    If you can't even bring $200 worth of customers in 3 months you are wasting their time and resources. My products on CB pay the affiliate $130 every time they make a sale, so as long as they sell 2, they are golden.

    If you can't even sell 2 of my products in 90 days...that's less than 1 a month which is understandable why clickbank doesn't want to spend any resources on you.

    Focus on being a better affiliate, and selling more products. It's really not that hard to make $200 a day if you put your focus and effort into it.

    Clickbank is the only, that I can think of, affiliate network that allows people to purchase through their own links. So, how many people do you think make accounts for just that reason. If you were allowed to keep those funds on account for ever then maintenance costs could get pretty high for clickbank. I think that is the reasoning behind the dormant account fees. Once they get you to Zero then they can purge your account.

    I think a better policy would be to not allow purchases through your own affiliate link.

      The policy has always been in place and it is not true that they 'charge your account a certain percentage for inactivity'. And hence no mass exodus for that reason

      They don't need to sell 2 for $130 commission each.

      They just need to purchase through their own affiliate link one item - a $3 product (the minimum price) will do

    I can't believe this is news to anyone... well, on second thought - I guess I can, but...

    As Harvey said, this is NOT new. It's been policy since day one, and it has been disclosed/common knowledge since then, as well.

    I haven't been an active affiliate with CB for a long time, but only because I have/market my own sales platform - not because of this policy. It's really not that big a deal if
    1. you are actively promoting products from the marketplace, and/or
    2. you withdraw funds as soon as possible (i.e. set a low payment threshhold)

    Instead of getting your panties in a wad, you should instead adopt the practice of reading/understanding the terms and conditions of any site BEFORE signing up.

    I hate clickbank Payment policy. This is really ridiculous and doesn't make any sense. I quit clickbank and move to shareasale and Amazon. Great experience so far.

    Clickbank are very money hungry and sure that's their prerogative, the're in it to make money but I think taking people's money without even sending an email saying there doing it is wrong.

    I think it would be better practice if they paid people more efficiently and that would encourage people to promote more.

    Better stop being an affiliate marketer if you can’t make a sale every 3 month.

      That's how I got into this predicament I stopped marketing other people's products and created my own.

    haha.. had the same experience too...

    But if I remember correctly, the $ 10 threshold was not there at that time. The min was $ 100.

    That is really sad, I have nothing to do with clickbank, it was always weird, much better programs out there

    I can't imagine buying any of the crazy junk they sell there either..

    Keep in mind that there is also a cost associated with setting your payment threshold to $10. Clickbank charges a $2.50 fee every time they pay you.

    A smaller threshold may result in more frequent payouts, but then you might be paying more in fees.
