This is one strange customer

[jimmybloggs91]

I am promoting a product atm which is bringing me in quite a few sales (4-5 a day 8+ fri sat n sun). Then the other day I checked and I had 6 sales all from the same customer, he then emailed me saying that he loved the product and was happy I let him know about it, although he thought it was rather expensive!

So I emailed him back (coz im a nice guy) saying he should email the product owner because he may have been charged more for it than was necessary.

I received no further reply from him, but today I see that he has bought another product from the same publisher item number 4 (normally it is 6). I think this is a bit strange because he shouldn't be paying for something else, so I see what it was that he bought so i type in the whole 4.XXXX.pay.clickbank.net and it says that product is no longer sold! This is only a few hours after the sale.

So all that being very strange I thought it was also strange that he had paid for the new thing on a mastercard (when the previous 6 were split; 1 on a paypal account 5 on a visa) and then while he seems to be a resident of NV (I assume Nevada?) he has been paying in euro!

All very strange to me and he has yet to refund the 1st 6 sales but I suppose that could be in processing.

Anyway to cut a long story short; if he charges back will I, as the affiliate, lose anything other than the money gained from the sale?

Also wtf do you think is going on here? I originally thought that maybe someone had stole his identity (being that he is american but paying in eur) and thought this was a good way to funnel the money into their account, but then I realised that I am the major beneficiary of this (I hope cb dont think it was me ) so that couldnt be it.

Overall very confused but if he does not complain I can be up a nice little wedge (hey there is nothing I can do about it now I have told him to email the publisher so my conscience is clear as the bright blue sky).

Well thats it, have a good day

P.S Just looked over this post, man I use brackets far too much!

I don't have a comment about this guy's transaction, however, I have a MC from my US account, and some times if there is a product or service I want to purchase, and they offer pay in dollar, euro or some other currencies,
I check the exchange rates and use the currency which gives me a better deal.
Of course you have to know what your bank charges you for using other currencies.
I have a paypal MC and it has the best currency exchange rates when you use other than US dollar.
last week I bought a product: price $59.95 or 37 euros. Saved 10 bucks using the euro payment.

anybody who sells forex products should be aware of it, that's currency trading for the little guy......

Ah good point so he could be paying in Euro to save on the exchange rate. Well as of today he has still not refunded any of his purchases so I might be in luck (I doubt he will refund later as he seems the type of guy to just forget)

Boy, that sure is a pickle - What a feather in your cap.
Best case: it is a major cock up in tracking on Clickbank's part.

Haha I hope so, still as of today he has refunded none of the sales which is good for me, not so good for him.
