Default Why are some affiliate programs commissions are higher than the actual sale?

Just did a bit of research and I tend to realise some affiliate programs offer a comission that is higher than the sale?
Doesn't really make sense to me

Like for example, if items were selling between US$30-50 and if you are able to grab the customer to buy them in any of those category or items, you get $60 commission?!?! That's like $10 earnings extra than the sale item? I am aware that some may offer like 75% commission like in Clickbank such as for ebooks which I understand but for products selling that way, wouldn't that be a loss for the company? Unless they are using the strategy hoping that the customer will come back again or something?
