Any ideas on how to avoid the 4% top up fee for US based affiliates?
Most of the affiliate networks, paypal or not seem to charge a top up fee. This gets pretty significant if doing decent volumes. Some networks, there is ePayment and Paxum but I'm not able to get into those wallets (not sure what the fee is there) as I'm not in the EU.
Obviously if I keep using Paypal I lose 4% of my ROI but on some networks the only alternatives are EU based ones.
So any strategies on mitigating the top up fees for US based affiliates? Considering cashback CCs or some alternatives.

You mean ad networks?
Only option is to wire or ACH to avoid the fee.
Yet another reason to look towards moving adspend over to Google and FB. No fee, so you can really rack up points. You get more value from points than cashback btw.

By the way, does anyone know if epayments wallet charges a fee when making a transaction? I'll try to somehow acquire epayments if there is no fee.

Assuming he's not cloaking currently, he might save money on the loading fees but might need to spend money on ad accounts, safe sites, cloaker, payment solution(unless he can get his own dozens of cards) and a bunch of other stuff. 90% of affiliate offers can't be ran on FB & Adwords without cloaking - skin, diet, ED, casino, crypto, binary, sweepstakes etc

You're right I should have clarified with whitehat offers - eg leadgen and ecom.

Have you considering doing Bank Wires if your traffic source offers that method of funding? They arrive same day or within a day and the cost to send 5k$ through transferwise/normal wire shouldn't be higher than 50-60$.
