Yes. However if you leave ccbill you lose many affiliates.

Most likely not only to cover the losses but also you would come out on top (in terms of total revenue)
Respectfully disagree.

First off, what the other poster said is true, and I will elaborate. CCbill charges way more for processing. Many folks don't realize that getting ones own merch account pays for itself quickly and becomes far more profitable per transaction, even if you still have to factor in service fees, etc.

Also, you can set some sites up to use CCbill for the affiliates that blindly believe CCbill is somehow superior and fraud free, even though that is delusional, but in my experience, most of the "whales" want PPS from companies that own their own merch account because the profit margin per sale is higher and the program can usually offer higher payouts accordingly; however, why not offer both a ccbill and a non ccbill option?

What amazes me is this... people hold CCbill up as this great end all-be all of legit processing options, but then question the scrub and wonder about sign up limits. Does not make sense to me at all.
