If you sell a car do you give a portion of that money to the dealer? You wouldn't have the car if it wasn't for them. If you sell shit on Ebay would you give money back to the people who gave or even in some case BOUGHT you the item? If you trade in DVD's does that mean you should be called when the DVD is resold and offered cash or even more DVD's than you were already compensated for?

Once a transaction takes place either by giving a person something or paying them for it that said item or commodity is theirs to do with what they want I think. That includes up selling them. You referred them a customer but it is their customer now.

But maybe that thinking is too black and white. I'm sure there is gray area in there and certain things make since and certain others don't. But in the case of expecting to be paid on up sells and such after the conversion I think that is just expecting too much. I'll be the first to admit that I could be wrong.
