Pay?!

[Star]

How are we supposed to know what we are getting paid for? I got shorted 35% two weeks ago, and this weeks wire doesn't match either. When do we get paid for the COD's that weren't paid yet? The following week? How do we know what our pay is supposed to be? the system doesn't make it easy.

I so totally agree, Star. All the OPs need to develop a way to itemize our commissions so that we know what we are getting paid for.

If you re-run your commission reports (with the new CODpendingline) for the last two pay period you can probably figure out the amounts paid on Fri.


The payment this week for 12/27 - 1/2/04 was less then expected for me, but the payment for 12/20 - 12/26 paid all including COD's. So what they did was pull out the Notcollected COD commissions this last pay period for both pay periods.


For example if pay period 12/20 - 12/26 was $100 including COD's it was paid -- but if you run the report now it may show $90 paid comm & $10 COD pending.


Then, for pay period 12/27 - 1/2/04 it previously showed $100 before the COD's were held out (pending). Now, if you run the report it shows $90.00 with $10 COD pending, Yet payment was only $80.00 on Fri. Which translates to:


$100 this pay period's full commission


-$10 COD pending this week


-$10 COD pending from 12/20 -12/26


=$80 payment.


Hope this isn't too confusing. When I calculated using the above I came within $14 of the amount -- which is close enough for me.

doesn't work for me. My last one was a bit higher than reported, the one or two before were way too low based on the report. And even with the cod adjusted none of them have been right for weeks. It would be nice if someone at IMS would explain, and they would send each of us an email with their calculations when numbers are way off. I guess that is toooo much to ask

I know exactly how you feel. I don't know of any Affiliate Program -- OP or otherwise that doesn't give you an Exact breakdown of commissions paid, etc.CJ.com's is squirley -- but you can eventually figure it out, through several reports.


The above calculation might just be a coincidence (coming within $14). So who knows what's what.
