I just found a blog that is using my Feedburner feed to populate their blog. They are even keeping my affiliate code (so I'll get credit for any sales).
Off the top of my head, it seems like they are doing work for me. Are there any disadvantages to letting them do this that I don't know about?
none i can think of -- got an addy so i can send him my rss feed urls?!? lol

It creates duplicate content issues, but that only if you created and wrote the blog text yourself. If its just sponsor images and text then it's not unique and won't make much difference.
You got to decide if its worth it or not, the longer you leave a problem like that (if it is a problem) the harder it will be to remove. You just got to decide on if its important to you where or how your content is used.

It's just text provided by the site, so I'll let it go. Thanks!

Make sure you link back to yourself in each post somewhere... Google is fine with "syndication" (which is what's happening) provided the original source is identified with a link. You could put the link in a div that you hide on your blog with display:none. It's also a good idea to link any keywords in your post back to appropriate pages on your site.
Do all of that and there's really no downside...
