The issue of rebills/chargebacks has been contentious from day one.
I recall nefarious webmasters in 1999 deliberately setting their first rebill to 45 days to increase the chance of a members not seeing the rebill in their credit card statement, before it was too late to cancel.
This kind of underhandedness and other disingenuous tricks have made the world of payment processing as challenging for legitimate webmasters as it is.
Instead of auto rebills, why not offer one time charges for 1, 3, 6, 12 months (with discounts for longer memberships)?
