We decided to roll our own affiliate program for Postbox called 
"Refer-a-Friend," details can be found here:

The program provides incentives to Postbox customers for helping us getting the 
word out.  Upon purchase, a Postbox user will receive a code that they can 
promote via Twitter, Facebook, etc. good for $10 off Postbox.  Each time their 
code is used they earn $5.  It's a win-win for everyone involved.

We use FastSpring, and they were nice enough to whip together a coupon report 
that we in turn use to make bulk referral payments through PayPal. 

We intentionally cap the rewards that can be earned to $500 per year to avoid 
having to 1099 people, and we didn't want our initial program to be dominated 
by just a few power sellers.  We may choose to pursue professional affiliate 
programs in the future, but a lighter-weight program felt right for us at this 
time.
