Hello to everyone.

I am just starting out as an affiliate and in the process of choosing an
affiliate program. Has anyone had any experiences with chargebacks?
What is the best way to manage the chargebacks?

Thanks to all
Les

Hi Les,

Not sure there is anything an affiliate can do to "manage" chargebacks, except to DROP a merchant that appears to have excessive charge-backs.

Certain industries are more prone to chargebacks - especially products with high return rates. Good example SHOES. Can't believe anyone buys shoes online but they do and when they don't fit or are uncomfortable - they get returned.
Other reasons for chargebacks are bad credit cards and fraud orders.
