Transactions will remain as 'Pending' in your account until validation, at which point you can request cashout.We do not guarantee commission to you until payment is received by us. Transactions can be rejected for many reasons including: returned purchases, duplicate accounts with merchants or fraudulent actions (incorrect details used). Please see the help and support pages for more reasons why merhants may remove commissions. If a known transaction is wrongly reported or missing and you wish to report it, do so through the contacts page.
It is essential that when sharing your arcades with other people, particularly when promoting merchants who pay per lead or registration, that they complete these on their own computer in their own household or workplace. Completing transactions or registering to services on other people's behalf is strictly prohibited.
To protect our merchants and members, myshoppingarcde.com incorporates sophisticated systems that allow us to detect unusual account activity. It may be necessary to suspend banners in your arcades pending validation of any outstanding transactions. Once validation is received from the merchant, the banner will be returned to your account. If fraudulent or dishonest behavior is detected by us or reported by the merchant, we reserve the right to close your account with loss of earnings.
