Ok a few screenshots and scans later (they did not ask for this they would have declined me anyway) the guy from CCBill told me basically that they decline a shit ton of payments for these reasons...even though I could prove their geo IP software was mistaken they could not do anything about it. We are talking about a 29$ membership here not 20000$ in physical goods.

so what is my point????

all of the sites i tried to join had epoch and other billing but Ccbill was first in cascade and they do not "decline" and lead you to another processor but they send you this e-mail and they wait for you to call, if you get declined NONE of the sites I tried to join have a "take me to an alternate payment processor" option nor does ccbill inform the site your transaction was declined so that the site can follow up with another payment option...

its amazing that these multi million dollar companies rely only on CCbill as their one and only processor in their "Cascade"...if you are suffering from low sales you should seriously look at your "join now" options for the user and what actually happens if CCBill is declined...they decline a LOT

I did not manage to join any of the sites do I e-mailed them to ask for an Epoch payment link because they all have EPOCH but it, somehow, does not appear in the cascade...
