What is the "Hold Allowance" being deducted from my commission payment?

With the new payment method, commission's are being paid out sooner than they were with the old payment method. In order for us to do that, we are now holding back 10% of the commission payment balance to create a reserve for chargebacks or refunds since those customers may still be within the 30 day refund period. Allowances are held for 60 days before they are released and will be included in the next payment cycle following the release date.
