[*] 24 hour customer support.[*] 1-800 number[*] 24 hour tech support
$1.25 + 8 cents a minute + 2500$ a month for an employee
[*] they pay all fines/penalties
guess so. If you are over 2% you're doing something wrong though.
[*] they manage relationship with acquiring bank/Visa
hmm.. not really worth 14.5%
[*] their scrub database and algorythm
netbilling et all have this too
[*] their password management system including good security
Their system is a joke. Hackers crack it in minutes
[*] their affiliate management system
$500 for a similar (better) alternative
[*] they take care of the affiliate checks and any problems
postal fees + $500 for 1 day employee to *print* 1000 checks.
[*] no up front holdback/deposit to get started, just 5% ongoing
10% ongoing. How'd you get hooked up with 5 ?
[*] their great stats and reports scripts
see above
[*] their reputation/brand (many surfers recognize the name "CCBill", for example, and respect it and are more likely to sign up with them than with a company they never heard of)
Their decline rate is sky high


From what I see... the total cost on top of a merchant billing solution would be the ~$3000 for checks and a support staff.

$0.30 per tranaction + 1-5% on a merchant account

So you save at least 10% on merchant vs. billing. If you do 50k a month. That's 5k in your pocket. You pay $3k and have $2k left over.

Again, I would really like to know more benefits of sticking to IBILL et all. vs. a merchant.

Also, netbilling, please do write the info also on the board. I will give you a should though when I'm ready.
