Reversal (Chargeback)

A reversal, or chargeback, is when a network cancels a commission — usually because the customer returned the item or the order was cancelled — and deducts it from your earnings.

Why it matters for your earnings

Return-heavy categories can reverse a meaningful share of commissions, so your true income is net of reversals — chasing a high headline rate in a high-return niche can earn less than a modest rate in a sticky one.
