On average, I would guess a normal month is 1, and you may have a bounced check or two. So let's say 3 monthly MAXIMUM on average.

However, I have been burned in the past on membership sites who's tours promise one thing, and the site is nothing remotely close. So I can see why their chargebacks would be "off da hook".

I disagree with some of this as I feel a lot of it is fraud. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but it's more likely the person would just be pissed and not re-bill or ever purchase from the site again. I have processed 15K+ subscriptions and the CB's seem to come in waves when it's affiliate fraud or people working together to scam a site, (yes, there are boards out there with clear information on how to use check fraud and CB's to get free memberships
