Paypal does not allow 2 tier affiliate programs
PayDotCom has advised up that the Paypal user policy states that "any business in which payouts occur at two or more levels" is prohibited.
I had recently seen that Genbucks which operates a very good 3 tier program had their Paypal account cancelled. But it now seems that 2 tier programs are also in danger of losing their Paypal accounts. There is a huge number of good 2 tier programs using paypal so it will be interesting to see what happens.
Paypal is the biggest payment processor, but there are plenty of others to choose from that do allow 2 tier and multilevel affiliate programs. My suggestion is to have a look at these and open an account now just in case Paypal shuts you down.
StormPay
Has been established almost as long as paypal and covers more countries. Fees can be a little high but generally works well.
Asianpay
They have a very secure system that prevents fraud and is available for the widest range of countries. Fee structure is very competitive.
