PPM is telling them go do what ever they want to do and we will figure out the costs later and charge you.

Your analogy sucks. Walmart would have the person's credit card and would charge them after they watched that tv show.
Yeah, but this guy will get in over his head with that. Like we were talking the other night most people have no idea what their getting into when they want their own cam site and likely fail miserably. I'd tell this dude to just go with something like ccbill or dhd and let them handle all the fraud scrubbing on their side and just sell blocks.

I don't think most people know to do a $2 auth on a card so it submits the user's data to the bank so you can process additional transactions at a later date. Why is this done? You do this cause you can't store CVV because of PCI restrictions and this way the CVV is registered at the bank level and you dont need to send it on recurring transctions. The $2 auth expires after 3-7 days depending on the customers bank. This makes the signup essentially free while also validating the card is correct.

Also these dudes will probably get tons of cb's before they even know what to do about it. Kids, if you do true ppm make sure you put a limit on what can be purchased so you don't get raped 3 months later.
My suggestion is do blocks until you are uber pimpin. :D
