Serial Clickbank Refunders Pay A Different Price...

Well this is interesting...

I've been getting a number of people essentially begging me for
another payment method on a recent Clickbank site I launched,
because they've admittedly been blocked by CB for too many
refunds, and therefore aren't able to order.

I can't help but think, "So I'd want to make special payment
arrangements for you WHY?" Lol.

I know there are alot of complaints about Clickbank and how
easy they make it for people to refund, but at least this is a
sign they really DO take action, and eventually block those
who abuse vendors like me, as well as their refund policy...

And I know they've being doing blocks for a while, but maybe
they're doing it more frequently now (?) because this is the first
time I've actually heard from would-be buyers that have been
blocked. If that's the case, I'm all for it!

There's obviously alot of junk out there, and therefore some
refunds are totally understandable.

But there's also this segment of serial refunders who sign up
literally expecting to do NOTHING - and have the money pour
in.

I've got a very low refund rate based on the CB average, but I
still get people that sign up - do *absolutely nothing* - then turn
around and refund after a day or two.

And it does not matter what amount of help or personal service
you offer these types... They are literally DEAD SET on finding
something that makes them money with literally *no* effort.

Despite all my years online, that mindset never ceases to amaze
me.

It's good to know that at least in some cases, serial refunders
DO pay a price for their "actions" - or total lack thereof.

    Interesting, I've had people ask me for other payment methods in the past without giving a reason. It had never crossed my mind that they might be serial refunders.

    Definitely something to think about.

    ... and you know what happens when you spend the time to create a separate payment link for someone that still works with your product delivery? You get stiffed.

    Good to see the CB block.

    Bryan, come on, don't you owe it to your, uh, "loyal" customers to provide this option?

    You know that old saying "you can't cure stupid"; well, the same applies for "entitled" and "lazy". :rolleyes:

    So many of the MMO products seem to imply in not outright say that you will make money with little to no work. So what are the people to think? Most people are not all that smart and believe what they read. I have refunded many products off of CB because they are either junk or the sales pitch was so hyped that the product will not fulfill the promise made. I don't buy crap from there any more due to that experience. I will never forget the Google Ads For Free product I bought years ago. Sounded good until you realize the amount of money you would need to spend to make it work, if it would work. I don't know if you could make it work as I didn't have the money to invest. Personally I could not see the numbers work out, but I may have been wrong. Just no way to do it.

      If people believe everything they read online, the world is ending on or around December 21st, 2012...

      And in the meantime, they can get rich by doing nothing ;-)
