    I have heard that Clickbank make it very unlikely to receive a commission by pressuring you to re-sell plenty of various digital products via completely different charge cards as well as Paypal. I want to choose Clickbank but I’m concerned with this situation. Is it true?

      Aisha, it sounds like it. According to Clickbank’s Customer Distribution Requirements:

      “In compliance with US law, ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until the following criteria is met:
      * Sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers and
      * Sales made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal). Note: PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers.”
