It will mean websites will have to deliver what they promise, make the CANCEL MEMBERSHIP button very visible and generally improve the service.

The credit card copmanies work on a business model of satisfying the client a lot of sites in this industry work on the model, the surfers and idiot and you can take him for as much as possible.

Less bad websites, means more surfers and more money for those left.
Sometimes your cluelessness amuses me.

I have a friend who sells sports paraphenelia online and his chargebacks are at 2% and he actually sells physical items.

I have a cousin who sells sheet music, guitar tabs, etc. online and his chargebacks are almost 2%.



When you del with something as taboo as porn, it's worse. You get the obligatory hubby who joins Teen Anal Fistfucking and his wife sees the charge and screams "what the fuck is this?" and tada another chargeback is created.

Maybe if you actually had ANY experience running a paysite, you might understand these types of things a little more. It has very little to do with confusing terms and hidden cancel buttons (although those can obviously add to the problem). It has everything to do with Visa allowing people to chargeback so easily and paysite owners having NO recourse.
