And how much do you think the other processors lost due to the Visa registration issue? They all admit losing business. 11% doesn't sound alarmingly high to me.Originally posted by Vick
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/l/i/icpt.html
"Since January 2003, the business at the former iBill is down approximately 11% on an average daily volume basis due to several factors, including customer attrition. That business is down approximately 15-20% from its high point in 2002"
There is a lot of info in that report that can be seen both positively and negatively
I hope they can make a comeback, it's benefits everyone in the industry to have more solid billing options
But Lens, seriously you are a sizable customer for Ibill so you're going to get the story in the best possible light
We'll see what happensComment

This Quarterly Report wasn't too pretty from November 14, 2002 and did a lot of finger pointing some of which was at Ibill (and Netzee amoong others) and some of ICPT other acquisitions and bluntly stats don't expect profits
Looks like they are trying to turn around things now or at least put a good face on it
I hope they do well, it's hard to live down some of Ibill's history and will take some time even under new leadership
and what I am saying bottom line is ....
don't be taken in by the dog and pony show just yetComment

This is crap!
Of course Ibill will blow smoke and take care of their largest accounts. They have proven over and over again that they do not give a shit about their webmasters. Intercept is a public company and we all know the last thing any public company wants to show is support for Adult sites. There are many other great processors out their that do care. So, why go with one that show repeatedly that they do not?

This is good news for me I have a shit load of re-bills with Ibill and still use them as my primary processor, I have never had a late check or any problems in three years except for the web 900 issue.
I have two back-up billers now, but I would rather stay with Ibill.New Hosted Galleries

Vick, one comment on the financials.
The former management of IBill was brought on board by the former owners to either take the company public or to sell the company to someone else.
If you look at how this was accomplished I don't think anyone can fault Garrett et al for doing exactly this.
Intercept finally decided to negotiate a way to take over management of the company as I understand it, early.
I think it might be a good idea to give them a chance to right things before nailing their coffin lid closed.
What you said here sounds just like what I said to you in Feb/March 2003.
I too was invited to the sit down at iBill (but couldnt make it, as I had already been in the States for three weeks), and the preliminary info I received on the financials of iBill and their strategies led me to believe that iBill is DEFINITELY here to stay.
My only thoughts re iBill right now concern their ability to provide proper accounting via the CMI for Premium accounts, as my accountant is pulling his hair out with their accounting standards.
And the other thought goes along with Steve from Light Speed - iBill should attempt to make amends for that Web900 debacle.
Otherwise, iBill is top notch and I have no hesitation in recemmending them to any webmaster considering their billing options.Comment

I have. They wouldn't fucking change my address on the checks they were sending me for years. they said I had to do it thru the program I was using.Originally posted by Lensman
There was a payment info verification issue at the first of the year related to the Visa thing, but other than that, I've never had any problem getting paid.
Bullshit, it was a change of address, not a name change. send the fucking check to the new address.
Instead, they've been pocketing whatever money should have been coming my way.
Nice work assholes.

Words are cheap and Ibills words are the cheapest.
Its been more than 6 years and Ibill has always had the same problems, Poor to non existent customer service, CMI problems, antiquated software , delays, non payment of 900 # to webmasters, The list goes on and on.
Why even risk using Ibill when there are better alternatives around. Every processor has had problems of one sort or another but they got over them. Ibills problems have been continuous all the 6 plus years we have dealt with them and they are not going away over night, i doubt they ever will. All i can say from our experience is that when we changed to Epoch our income ( that's the money we get to keep and play with ) increased a lot . That's proof enough that we made the correct choice, wish we had done it years ago.

They must have cut Lensman a great deal or something. It's going to take them the rest of the year to clean up their technical problems alone. That's not even taking into account the payout problems.- this space intentionally left blank -Comment

never had anything but problems with ibill and they've never been anything but cocksuckers when we try to get them to assist us with their billing.
sounds to me like a whole lotta smoke blowin... corporate america is always very good at that, and making adult operators feel loved is easy if you're willing to tell them "oh, we have no problem with adult, we love adult. you're not pornographers, your businessmen... really. thats how we think of you."

Ibill sent me an email saying something like,"hey, we just had some of your checks returned to us saying you are no longer at this address. You need to update this"
I replied with,"ok, great. here is my new address:xxxxx"
They replied with, "oh no, we can't change your address, you've got to do that thru the program you're advertising"
I reply with,"you just contacted me about an address, I give you the updated address and you won't take it?"
They reply with "yes, thats correct"
That's where I tell them to go fuck themselves.

I simply refuse to accept any company that stops paying me but keeps billing my customers. All without any written notification or termination of our valid contract. IBill did that to me and to many others and if you want to overlook the fact because you are earning big bucks from them and get priotity treatment than this is the same shit that makes America tick and never gets any real changes done. Money can make everything better even getting a big guy to make some public publicity. I don't trust this at allSIG TOO BIG!

Once again a question for ibill and all their ass kissers here, "Where is all the 900 money You owe ??? and don't say you didn't get paid ...thats NO excuse for not paying out to those you owe it to??...Comment

Were you aware that iBill did pay out for monies they never collected from Worldcom? That was the month of May just prior to Worldcom's bankruptcy. Absolutely there were monies from June and part of July that were not paid out and we as well as you want to get that money too, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware of this fact before you call people asskissers.
Partnerships in business sometimes mean both parties have to shoulder unexpected losses that are not the fault of either party.

If you ask me it was pretty weak of ibill to "hire" a few big guns to mount a public relations drive for them.
The fact that they can not speak for themselfs speaks volumes.
While i do not discount the pony show they may have shown a few industry leaders.. I truly doubt they are interested in doing buisness with the small to medium size webmasters... let alone, make sure they are paid.
I would have been much more impressed if they had invited a cross-section of the industry. Better yet... they should have used that money to pay the people that have gone unpaid rather then pull off a two day pony show for the most vocal.

Any proof that worldcom didn't pay?
But the fact still remains, that it is ibill that owes the money, wether They are owed from Worldcom or not isnt ibills customers problem.
If I owe you $10.00 bucks and dont pay you, do you give a rats ass (or is it even pertinant) that some shmuck owes me money and thats why I didn't pay you??...

Quite frankly I don't see where Ibill hired any big anything to speak for them.
I don't get a dime from Ibill, I just happen to talk to their upper management a fair bit, and it does seem to me that now that John Perry is at the helm, they are working to get themselves into a position such as they had prior to getting into "let's get sold" mode.
I think everyone is quite aware of my former association with CCBill (and I am still really good friends with everyone there) as well as my relationship with ePassporte, which does involved dealing with many of the people from Epoch on a close basis.
So if I'm telling you that I think Ibill is getting it together, it's not becuase they are paying me to say so...
People are entitled to their opinions for sure, but you'd all best remember that it's in your best interest for every possible processing option to stay open in the business... unless you like the feel of Visa/MC's boot on your neck.Comment

did they give you enough to cover my check?Comment

We have used ibill for over 2.5 yrs, they always pay on time but the customer service is going from bad to worst. Customers contacted them about problems they not sending me emails so I can fix the problem. The guy gets a refund, I call cs and say noone got in touch with me. She says to me ,I dont know if you are telling the truth. I wanted to lose it and my wife heard from another customer thankfully he reached us first. He wrote ibill last thursday and never heard from them. I dont even bother with my account either she yeses me to death or says she will call me right back and doesnt. I have to tell you I love the adult business but the getting treated by everybody like a third class citizen is getting played especially when they take a good chunk of my money and we run a very honest business. The goal is next year is to go with my own merchant account , I am going to have to handle my own customer service the way it looks now anyway.Comment

Sorry, but Ibill FUCKED me out of 25K. Unlike you and other big shots in adult, I actually NEEDED that money. I had major surgery with no health insurance and owe THOUSANDS in medical bills. I will NEVER knowingly do business with anyone who uses them. FUCK IBILL!If you have a music site that sells digital downloads, please contact me.Comment

Poor John Perry, he really did want to get it together... things were just sooooo far gone I'm not sure Santa Claus could have saved it when the truth finally made the rounds. I don't think that he had a real clue what was actually going down when he stepped onto the tracks while the train was coming.Last edited by Kimmykim; 04-07-2010, 03:47 PM.Comment
