Hi All,

Thanks for the kind words. Our admin is ugly?
We are actually working on some skin changes now.

The reason why many adult webmasters do not get a merchant account is mainly because of mis-information. Before Netbilling and other complete gateway solutions, if you did not go third party, you had to scrub your own transactions, manage your own member database, and handle your own customer service. This is simply not the case any longer (and has not been for several years now).

We help setup merchant accounts every day of the week for adult and mainstream merchants.

Another reason why more adult webmasters have been shy to get a merchant account is because they used to be able to hide under the merchant account of the ISSPs and avoid being terminated and/or fined. We all know that this changed as of last November and have since seen four 3rd party processors go our of business and take all of their clients and $$$ with them.

If you can make the initial investment for the Visa/.Mastercard registration fees, fill out all of the paperwork, and have your site in compliance with terms and conditions, you will save money, have control and be very happy with your own merchant account, coupled with a Netbilling processing account.

Have a great night.

Thank you, Mitch Farber
