I have to agree, why would I want to pay someone to promote their product? You should be paying us. If someone is selling for you, you should do everything you can to make them want to sell, not charge them a fee to sell your product. I won't touch anything like that, to me it says that the company isn't making enough money if they have to charge their affiliates a fee. That would be like going for an interview for a sales position and they tell you that you only get paid if you pay them first, no matter how much you sell.
If you want hungry people to sell your product and make you money, don't charge them money, give them incentive to want to sell your product and you'll make a lot more sales, through a lot more affiliates.
Second, if you are not telling these people to change their sales pages you are going to keep most of them from any chance of ever being in a search engine because of all the duplicate content. Frankly, you would be much better off not giving them a site and only giving them affiliate links to send the sales to.
just my thoughts,
