Hi,

with February 1st I see my balance was deducted 10 EUR. Under "Current Balance (February, 2012)" it shows "Fees..........(10.00 €) EUR". When I click "Detail" it says Type: Credit and Advertiser: Unknown.

What is that?

Tnx,

Rok

CJ charge a fee for being signed-up, but inactive.

Form their terms:

"(f) Dormant Accounts. If Publisher's Account has not been credited with a valid, compensable Transaction that has not been Charged-back during any rolling, six consecutive calendar month period (“Dormant Account”), a dormant account fee at CJ's then-current rate shall be applied to Publisher's Account each calendar month that Publisher's Account remains an open yet Dormant Account or until Your Account balance reaches a zero balance, at which time the Account shall become deactivated. Transactions will not be counted if the Transaction subsequently becomes a Charge-back."

I thought this was interesting also:
Commission Junction’s $10 Monthly Inactivity Fee for Publishers

I liked this part in particular:

"Is having inactive accounts really such a strain on Commission Junction’s network? When people get charged $10, do they think “well, I’m going to go work harder to promote my Commission Junction links” or do they think “they took my $10?! I’ll just use someone else.”"

Hope that helps.

Well this quite stinks. I am coming from a country where online shopping is still not so very common, especially in foreign stores, I struggle to earn some extra cash with two websites, and than this? I do get clicks, but its not my fault I don't make any sales.

Very nice, 10 EUR (like 13 USD). In a few months my balance will probably reach zero.
