I have sponsors whose conversion rates have hardly varied in over 7 years and others, like the one I mentioned, that just changed literally overnight. No one will convince me that they have not changed things to avoid paying affiliates!

I don't think it's anything new, but it's most definitely possible to manipulate things to avoid paying an affiliate commission. BUT, it's all but impossible to do so with CCBill without it being detectible on the site(s) if someone checks things closely.
