I can’t take it anymore - this blog is going to be toasted in a mad fit of spazzing rage asap (keeps eating my posts this past week). I have a combo disaster happening between my ISP service and this blog’s hosting service. Something’s gonna give and it aint gonna be pretty :wink:.

Now on to aff stuff (I’ll copy this before I post because if I lose it again I’ll be on a nuking spree :lol:).

Tonight in CJ I had a jump of $125 in commission. A couple hours later, I dropped $50 (surpriiiize surpriiiize). Since I wasn’t on my last nerve yet (trying to get stuff done online with choppy ISP service), I decided to do some investigating. Here’s what I found out, I think it’s right - and it makes sense to boot! :lol:. (Didn’t find the missing $50 bucks though).

Transaction Reports:

Balance Detail: The total amount shown here represents the total amount of commissions you have earned yet haven’t been paid for. This amount will match the Balance amount shown at the top of the page when you first login (beside Payment Status).

Pending Commissions: This amount shows the commissions you have earned that haven’t yet been collected by CJ from the merchants. CJ pays you once they’ve collected payment. They are your new transactions as well as the ooooold ones that merchants *still have not paid for*. Click on Locked and Extended to see which arsewipes are holding your commissions hostage. Click on the New total and you will see your commissions earned for this month.

Current Balance: The opening balance reflects what CJ was paid last month by the merchants for your sales, yet missed the cutoff when CJ mailed payments. Basically the amount of $ CJ collected between the 20th and the end of the month. The Commissions amount is the amount of money paid to CJ this month from the merchants for the commissions you have earned. When you click this amount, those aren’t sales transactions you see - those are the merchants, the amounts and the dates that CJ collected cash for your sales. The total in this column is what you’ll be paid when CJ cuts the check on the 20th (or thereabouts). The only time this total amount will drop is when CJ pays you.

There is no column reflecting the amount of new commissions that *poofed* and disappeared from your balance within hours. Those commissions are gone. I don’t know what they were, or where they went. Just say goodbye and try to be amused with the yoyo show (not).

Sales for me on CJ this month are still *very very slow* and it aint pretty. I have to assume it’s just ‘that time of year’ and that CJ is tracking everything correctly :cool:. Truthfully, it’s been slow all around and not just CJ. So I gotta go with that.

A big thanks to the fine folks at ABW for explaining the sad sorry details of the reports. It makes sense to me now!

I’ve run performance reports for July, August and September and the amounts match up to what I’ve been paid, what carried over from last month and what I should reasonably expect to be paid this month - then the new stuff that will be held over for next month.

PS: I am behind on things but I hope to be back full swing here right away. I am *really* out of the loop with online stuff right now.
