In rare circumstances, enough items may have dispatched during a previous month, for which you have already been paid, and then returned or refunded during the current month, to cause the amount you owe us to exceed your advertising fees for the current month. This produces a negative balance. If this situation occurs, we will simply deduct the amount from future advertising fees, so you will not have to send in any money.

Why do I have a negative account balance?

You earn commission on any qualifying items placed in a customer's Shopping Cart within 24 hours of their arrival at Shinkly.com via your Associates link. However, this 24-hour window closes once the customer submits his order or reenters Shinkly.com through another Associate's link. Once the window is closed, you will not earn advertising fees on any subsequent purchases. However, if the customer then returns to Shinkly.com through one of your Associates links, this opens a new 24-hour window.
It is of course possible that a customer may arrive at Shinkly.com via your Associates link, add an item to his Shopping Cart, and then leave Shinkly.com without placing an order.
As long as the item was added to the customer's Shopping Cart during this 24-hour window, you will still earn a referral fee if the order is placed before the Shopping Cart expires (usually after 90 days). The referral fee will not be credited to your Associates account until the customer has purchased the item, accepted delivery, and remitted full payment to Shinkly.com.

How long do visitors have to add an item to their Shopping Cart after clicking on one of my Shinkly links until I no longer earn a commission on their purchase?
