Affiliate program for payments via PayPal?

[farmboy]

PayPal lists about 20 "solutions" for a merchant to implement an affiliate program when payments are accepted through PayPal.

Does anyone recommend any of those? Any to avoid? I want something fairly simple so I can offer affiliates the opportunity to sell my product and earn commissions.

Farmboy,
be very careful when dealing with PayPal. Those are folks that should be fed with a very long spoon.

Google paypal and you will see what I mean...under the sucks category as in PayPal sucks. There are some real horror stories associated with them.

Good luck,

Ann

Ann,

Thanks for the information but I have had a PayPal account for about 9 years now. I've been accepting payments and making payments with them all the while. My experience has been very good.

I am aware of some of the horror stories out there and I've read a few of those sites. I kept observing that some of the stories just didn't hold water.

That aside, I hope this doesn't turn into another PayPal pro vs. con thread. Some of those already exist here.

I'm trying to find people who have experience working with any of the third party affiliate program services PayPal lists on its site.

Thanks,
FarmBoy
