Hello Saime, thanks for the report.
You're almost correct by calling it a glitch, but it's not on our end. This kind of incident has been reported only once before by another affiliate and after investigation, we found out that it was due to an incomplete paypal echeck.
Echeck payments are recorded immediately by our system and affiliate credit is also recorded immediately. Normally, refunds, chargebacks, and failed echecks (those that have completed the echeck process ie. were NSF at the bank) -- these will show up as a refund (negative amount), in red text, and this usually takes a few days.
Sometimes echeck payments fail *prior to completion* (somewhere between paypal and the user's bank or credit card company) and those failed payments are not recorded in our system as a payment/refund/chargeback, and this is Paypal's process -- not ours (ie. as the transaction was never really made). The memberhip in our system is deleted along with the transaction/payment, in response to paypals reporting system.
This is very rare, and like I said, has only happenned to one other affiliate once before.
Upcoming Features:
Just a quick note to inform all affiliates that our new "
Signup System" is almost ready for use.

Note: do not use this yet, until it's ready, this is just a preview!
This "signup system" will allow webmasters to create customized landing pages, or create their own downloads sponsor site, or, integrate the payment into your own site, the possibilities are endless!!
I will provide more information very soon!
