Will VPS merchants intentionally or unintentionally slow down the processing of AFF withdrawal work

jasonxu

This is the first work order, and I have been submitting it for about a month now

Today, I closed my old work order and reapplied for AFF withdrawal because my AFF balance has increased again

Francisco

Sorry that’s on me.

Karen doesn’t do billing on buyvm side anymore as she’s been working on the namecrane side.

I’ll try to get you sorted this week

We also only do PayPal for withdrawal, Alipay isn’t possible.

March 6th is tentative but it won’t be doing domains for the immediate. I’ll be applying for TLDs that don’t need ICANN pretty quickly.

Yes, for shared.

At this point we've finished all the integration side of things. There's been a mountain of backend work to do. Lots of research on what new plans to build, where to put them, how to import a subset of records from Frantech, etc.

The launch is going to be pretty boring. Cookie cutter Lagom design w/ content Mike has been chugging through. We've been in contact with a designer to get something nice built for us, we'll see what their timeline is like.

New plans, new locations, new nodes.

I've been trying to withdraw from @labze since late December, no fucking kidding. Now he stopped answering to tickets. Question → no response. I think I've being decently patient already.

But YMMV. The minimum balance limits to withdraw are often—but IMHO not always—intended to have the affiliates go home and retire before they reach the threshold.

Webhosting24 delayed an affiliate withdrawal request for seven days.
We accumulated more than $35 of affiliate income over more than three years, meeting the minimum requirement of $28.

The withdraw button was pressed for the first time on 2023-09-01, a ticket was generated, but the ticket vanished after a day.
We pressed the button for a second on 2023-09-06, a second ticket was generated, but it too vanished after a day.
We had to manually create a ticket, which was processed after a day.
In the ticket reply, the owner explained that they had some accounting work to do before the payout.
We then received the payout via PayPal.

Normally, if the ticket is pending internal work, the ticket would still exist but display as "on hold".
It is highly unusual for the ticket to vanish, as in, not shown in the account's ticket list and not shown when clicking the link from email.

Other tactics of avoiding affiliate withdrawal include:

• Require withdrawal to SEPA accounts only, making it impossible to receive payout for non EU citizen, other than spending the affiliate income with the provider.
• Having 100% of the referrals in "cancelled" status, even if the same referred user name appears multiple times over several months. If these accounts were truly cancelled, it's unlikely for them to appear again in next months.
• Setting many products as non affiliate eligible, without clear labeling.

Interesting, since they usually respond pretty quick.

I guess they didn't want you to make rich unlimited moneys

@yoursunny I know for certain that you have never withdrawn one cent from HostBrr

Don't ask how I know... But we shall worry not, @labze will look into my withdrawal ticket... Next Week™.
