There are a couple of reasons this could happen. One is that cash
payments are paid out on the gross amount, not the net, so that when an
end-user purchases virtual currency using PayPal, credit card or other
direct payment options, a small percentage of the total transaction is
withheld to cover processing fees. Also, in some cases our customer
service team will issue virtual currency in order to keep the end-user
happy even when we aren't paid by the advertisers, as could happen if a
pixel misfires but the end-user shows valid proof of having completed
an offer. |
