One other thing that Ive noticed is some merchants dont have proper real time credit card verification so end up showing a sale and then rejecting it, where normal merchants would never have recorded the sale. No idea if it applies here though.
This definitely accounts for one merchant we suffer higher than normal reversal levels from.
They explained they manually approve all credit card transactions so the cart/network credits us with sales which they later reverse due to fraud or visitors ordering from outer mongolia etc.
For these merchants, even if they don't have real-time validation, to add a simple validation script to their shopping cart to filter out most of the duff sales and subsequent reversals resulting in less work for them and less feel-bad factor for their affiliates.
