Hey, Sam.

In my situation ... where I am the only one being paid to refer affiliates and the sales they generate, I generally have access to the system ... whether it's a true 2 tier system, or an artificial one where my efforts ... and those of my referrals, are tracked manually (CB, PDC, and others that use PayPal).

I am NOT paid via PayPal for that chosen campaign's efforts if it's the latter ... I go out of my way to stay on the good side of PP ... if others chance it, that's their business ... but I don't recommend it.

I'd be very happy if they decided to change their stance on 2 tier programs, but until that day happens ... I'll abide by the rules.

Best,

Mike
