I guess the question is how aggressive they are at trying to make extra money while the money sits and waits.

Good luck on getting an answer on that one lol. ;)

However, there's no better solution, so just live with the fact that in life there are risks, direct and indirect, foretold and unforseen.
I think the original question that started this thread was asked in an effort to find out just how much risk exists lately with CCBill - given the current economic forecast in the U.S.

Not to compare CCBill with iBill - but a LOT of people lost a crapload of money when iBill turned sour. You can't blame people for asking questions about the security of the revenue their livelihood relies on.

Unfortunately blind trust is a fact of life when it comes to webmasters and CC processors, but one should never label someone else "stupid" when they ask what precautions or pre-emptive actions they're taking to safeguard the ability to continue processing transactions.
