Hi Paul,Well said.
Amazing how people are coming in and giving advice without a clue. Or spamming a thread like this.
We have a Merchant account Mitch and you can't get anywhere near the level they give us.
As for the "Go with the established names!!!" It's been said already.
I am glad you have a merchant account. Always a smart move when possible IMO.

I fully agree. They were recommended to us and excellent.the problem that most of you don't understand is:
if you run a contentshop you are massively limited in billing options
you can't use CCBill or Paycom because they do not allow larger transactions than maybe $150 or $200 at once, and for a merchant account you need to do $50,000 per month. and how many contentshops do that??? maybe 2 or 3
so please stop pretending to be smarter than us who have to live with this problem to keep our business up for those of you who need to buy content and want the freedom of paying with your credit card.
thank you
One thing no one understands is that if you are in Canada, you really have no bloody choice.
paycom is out of question, no visa processor at all. and how many can do over $100000 a year?Comment

Eva just gave me the figures and we lost a lot of money.
So I'm preparing a few packages and open for deals, need to recoup a few thousand dollars. Quite a few.
So hit me up on ICQ, Skype or phone me +420 603 298 001
At least with content you can get something back.
Lets make a deal!!!

Hi Guys ,
I didnt mean to bust anyones balls! or try to be smart,maybe I didnt word the reply good.
Sorry to hear you lost money Paul,hope it works out.
MaDalton yes I know its difficult for most adult operations not based in the usa.
What I was actually trying to say was everyday it seems a new no name processor comes along and people jump on it fast and without much research then later watch thier money vanish ouch! as everyone knows losing money is not fun.
Of course many have to take any processor available
With ibill I watched as many continued to process with them long after the first warning signs.
Yes Will76 I have always processed with CCbill and with my own merchant account to spread the risk,lucky not to have lost $ of course!!! as it can happen to anyone but I did check as much info as I could before I even started.
Hope that helped

Don't worry about it Christina, this is GFY and it gets tough here. LOL
Content providers are in a different position to many others, we don't do $30 orders, more like $300. We need processors who can handle this and can bill for a license rather than a membership.
IBILL is a good example of how trusting many of us are.
Webstream were good for years and years, but it seems they were billing for a company they should not of been anywhere near. So the next time a processor says "Don't do that." listen. Because this has cost more than me a lot of money. Our reserve has gone, will we get it? If Webstream get it yes, I trust them.Comment

When i started there really was no difference between ccbill, ibill, and drm. they were all pretty new companies and all were about the same size with the same features. It was luck to have had selected one over the other. It is easy for someone in the last couple years to select ccbill, there are in a class by themselves. But several years ago this was not the case.ICQ: 86364801 Email: will [at] innovativeassets [dot] com

I'm really so not surprised. Webstream was a fraud nightmare.Comment

The lesson that processors need to learn is if you process for something Visa does not like you and us will lose money.Comment

I don't remember drm but I was about to pick Ibill over CCbill when I first started....However, the B.S. that IBill put you through to get an account vs. the efficiency of CCbill made me go with CCbill....When i started there really was no difference between ccbill, ibill, and drm. they were all pretty new companies and all were about the same size with the same features. It was luck to have had selected one over the other. It is easy for someone in the last couple years to select ccbill, there are in a class by themselves. But several years ago this was not the case.
You also must remember back in the day when there were fucked up Ibill threads almost everyday LONG before they closed up shop....I even remember way back in 2003 when I was in Florida, EVERY major biller had a representative on the stage except Ibill......Even though I wasn't processing with them, I knew something was wrong....Comment

Nice thread here.... Also, nice to see all of the processors squaking here like vultures over another porcessor's corpse...:" Me Me Me I take you and then fuck you"..... Come on people, Webstream went down because some assehole murdered a girl and said he saw it on TV ( OK Internet then) and all like lemmings to the sea are here screaming about "do not process bad guys" like the Taliban of all processors CCBill has in its AUP
They would not process: Hostel,Saw and likley not even Schindlers List or Killing Fields....that how anal they are and the rest of them. It is simply the decline of the American/European Empire(s).Comment

why dont you elaborate a bit more here about your company, capabilities and how long it has been in business etc ???Scary.
Premier Payments Online can help any of you who have lost processing as a result.

ibill was in trouble for a long time before they fell and it was pretty clear to anyone that had their eyes open. there were THE processor for spammers and once that all stopped, they fell apart, were sold, fell apart some more, 900 payouts stopped... payments got later and later etc etc etc... then they totally collapsed. there was no surprise at all. many people took the gamble in the end, because they didn't want to lose rebills... so they made a bad choice and paid for it.
your post has nothing to do with what she said. the point is that people went with an unknown vs the 2-3 very well known, very solid companies that have withstood the test of time and then they all come and bitch and complain when it goes south.
why?
because this business is full of anti-social, backwards idiots that have to go their own way and be totally different than everyone else... when they end up paying for it, they don't deserve sympathy or credit for being "different"
this is the only business in the world besides a racist cult, where you can show up on a forum and call everyone n|gger and cunt like trey did and build a company from it simply because it appeals to all the idiots and kids with no business sense that want to be different.Comment

exactly. it annoys the hell out of me when people say "Ibill was a reputable company......" as an example to point out that "it can happen to you".You also must remember back in the day when there were fucked up Ibill threads almost everyday LONG before they closed up shop....I even remember way back in 2003 when I was in Florida, EVERY major biller had a representative on the stage except Ibill......Even though I wasn't processing with them, I knew something was wrong....Comment

My Turn!
Webstream is a successful mid-sized S. Florida hosting company that went into billing originally to assist their hosting clients with a quiet, efficient, well-run business model. They have been working at it for years - at least six I know of - and I really can't remember hearing much negative before this. It appears to be a breakdown in compliance inspection that caught them up with Visa/MC which should have everyone increasing their vigilance rather than anything else, as this appears to have been a somewhat glaring oversight...
And since everyone did jump in with offers
Webbilling.com can offer you the primary preferred method for EU webmasters to pay for their content purchases [and surfers to join your sites] in Germany, Austria, Spain, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom with no min/max amount, virtual or hard goods delivery.
Most likely anything you'd want to know is in this blog entry: Your 'Alternative' Billing Self-Test
Great discussion, and see everyone in Phoenix - write or ICQ if you'd like to meet

Try DHDMedia ... I think they can do content sales for higher amounts.the problem that most of you don't understand is:
if you run a contentshop you are massively limited in billing options
you can't use CCBill or Paycom because they do not allow larger transactions than maybe $150 or $200 at once, and for a merchant account you need to do $50,000 per month. and how many contentshops do that??? maybe 2 or 3

What are you getting at? My third CC Bill check this year is late. The one from 05/05 arrived on 5/21.
Should I switch now, and, if yes, to whom?Jenny Seemore
