I have been with Plimus for 6months. My first check was sent being only $36.75 and it cost about $10 to cash because I live in Brisbane. I think my bank charged me $10 to process the cheque to our currency which would leave me with $26 not worth the trouble. So I sent a email to Plimus if I could cancel the check, or send it back to them. They said it wasn't nessecary to send the cheque back, they would credit my account. Support passed it onto accounts that contacted me about 3-4 days later. They credited my acc and then added the balance to my next months payout which they did without a drama. I got paid out by paypal instantly when the commissions were due following month. I wouldn't say boycott them. They are better than alot of other crappy affiliate networks. I can say though, don't ever go with cpa networks run by fellow internet marketers. I won't say who but IMer's are notorious for moving onto the next big thing and abandon there former businesses if they won't run passively. cheers Nigel I guess your experience hasn’t been the best and I don’t blame you.

Luckily I have already switched over to a new processor when this happened. I have e-mailed plimus support and also opened a ticket but no one bothered to answer this in 30 days. When I logged in to the ticket system my ticket had a successfully closed status without receiving a reply from them at all. Their support is the worst I have seen in my 8 years since I'm working as a webmaster! You can't actually talk to a human person, no live support, only one e-mail and they also fake reply dates on their forums and ticket system so it will look like the problems were solved within minutes. Would NOT recommend them at all! Plimus shut down my vendor account about 1 month ago without any notice! Luckily I have already switched over to a new processor when this happened.

I have only one sale and one buyer. They just don't want to respond on that. Also, it doesn't make sense. Your money is being held and you are not paid. If buyer acknowledges that he wont ask for a refund, what's the problem? I am starting to think that Plimus is taking advantage of this situation.

The credit card issuing banks actually allow all sorts of chargeback or dispute requests for up to 180 days! Plimus is essentially hedging their bet against the worst case. Having said that, they should have spelled out the policy clearly to begin with. I totally understand why Plimus is doing that.

I came across your post while searching the internet for Plimus holding back money. I am in this situation myself now. There is one thing which doesn't stand. The whole idea of their holdbacks is to protect themselves in case customers who purchased your products want a refund. But, per Plimus own license agreement, the customer can only request a refund within 30 days of the purchase. So I can't see no reason why they should holdback seller money more then 30 days after the purchase was done. However I saw many people on internet which didn't complain to their support asking for a clear clarification, since the 30 days since the customer purchase are over. So, in my case, I can understand why they holdback my payment on the last payment cycle, there was less then 30 days since I had the sell. However, I hope I will get it on the next payment cycle. If not, I want to get an attorney. Unfortunately, I am not living in US. Can please someone help with that? As someone said, it should be enough if a formal letter is sent from an attorney office. And if it isn't I will be ready to spend enough money to bring them to court, even if it takes time. I will be surely ask then ask them to pay all the money I spent on attorney and for all the stress they caused to me. Hi Andrew!

If you don't make ongoing sales AND the product you are promoting has a high chargeback rate (generally poor product) then they will withhold a percentage to cover chargebacks that take place over the course of 90 days. If you promote a quality product or promote a product regularly you don't have to worry about this. Its something I can personally understand. Ya.

The scenario is this, I got accepted by the vendor then I promote the vendor product that accepted me as affiliate. Then later I never realize that i was being taken out by the vendor as their affiliate. They didn't tell me that i was being taken out so my campaign continues and make some sales that make my commission reach more than $1,000 in total. I wait for the payment time and didn't receive it on my paypal. When i contacted the support they said that i was taken out by the vendor as their affiliate and said that i should contact them directly. The links provide to me is working and the stats appear on my Plimus account. If the vendor cancel me they should cancel also the link and it should never works. From this for sure the Plimus get the money which should be mine.! They suck the affiliates money! Do not ever join them! They are FRAUD! Let all your friend know it or they will wasted time and money in using this aff. network!
