Finally..someone brings up the 100 su's.
However, it's not visa doing the terminating here, but probilling.

Probilling did some sneaky stuff the last couple of weeks. I was one of several that had been with Probilling before, but let them last fall after they lost their merchant account and initiated heavy duty scrubbing.

About 3 months after I left, I noticed a sudden drop in the reserves that WERE going to be paid out of about $4500.00
There was no email, no explanation of why this was happening.
I wrote in, and got this response: "Oh, we forgot to take our share out of the initial signups you had, so this is our share we're taking out of your reserves.". That's it..no details, no itemization..just that SOMEHOW the company FORGOT to take their share off the top.

Now I ask you..is this TRUELY believeable that a billing company would "forget" to take their initial share of the pie?

So I left them and went to PSWbilling (can I pick them or what!) and CCBill as a backup. (Made a switch in order not to long afterwards!)

But 2 weeks ago I got all these emails "welcoming" me back to ProBilling and that all my sites were active with them. WTF!?!? I asked myself. I wrote them email about why this happened. Per the usual Probilling way of doing things, to date, have not gotten a response.

THEN, Probilling announced an increase of how much of the pie they get off of initial signups and that they were lowering the the "tolerance" level for chargebacks to 1% (no 100 signup exception here).

Bottom line..Probilling got a LOT of business when ACPAY and globil went out of business. After getting it, they changed the rules so they could keep a lot of the money that was comming in knowing many webmasters would very soon reach the 1% level.

Probilling is NOT a company you can trust or should use. ( I know..that's an understatment now!)
