If you believe Visa International, and who doesn't? then they will be required to register as an IPSP, pay a per Sponsored Merchant fee and not acquire across Visa Regional borders.Originally posted by p00p
What is going to happen to the likes of AcPay, Globill, Verotel etc., who are processing Visa without requiring the fee?Comment

We do have shopping carts which integrate with our system... if you have your own merchant account..Originally posted by The Dawg
Why doesnt Epoch have a shopping cart option?
Epoch does not allow the sale of deliverable goods through the IPSP model.

What has Epoch heard about VISA and the rumors that they are likely to stop processing for AVS systems?
Also, what is your policy on multiple time copyright infringers who process using Epoch? Do you cancel their processing?I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

I have a series of questions relating to cross sells:
1) If a site offers a cross sell, do they see a decrease
in the unique number of people signing up? Does the
cross sell scare some people away?
2) On average what percentage of potential cross sell
transactions are cross sold. How much does having the
cross sell box, pre-checked affect this figure?
3) Do you use any different scrubbing algorithims on cross
sold transactions vs. non-cross sold transactions? In other
words if someone is approved for the initial transaction
are the cross sells automatically approved.
4) Do you have any plans to offer "forced" cross sell
packages where the surfer cannot opt out? We are
potentially interested in offering our surfers a choice:
a) 1 site for $49.95 / month
b) 2 sites for $29.95 / month each
Under the current system (as I understand it), the surfer
could choose option "b" and then not take the cross sell."Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."

We have heard rumors. We have discussed this issue with Visa too. The situation is fluid. However, we have no formal notice nor do we intend to turn off any properly sponsored compliant merchant. The issue seems to be that Visa does not want their brand used to verify age. We continue to monitor the situation.Originally posted by Mutt

The second question requires a definition of Copyright Infringement. If we have a proper DMCA Notice, we require that the offending image be removed immediately. That being said, every situation is different and we handle these depending on the circumstances. There are not many DMCA notices or complaints that we see.Comment

Any truth to the following rumors:
1) Transactions under $10 are almost never charged back, since it costs more for the customers bank to process the charge back
so the bank credits the customer without doing a chargeback.
2) Very small recurring transactions (say $5.95 or less) are almost never cancelled and will consistently rebill at about 95%."Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."

There has been no discussion of MC asking for a registration fee for webmasters at this time. The registration fee is for IPSP's who choose to go the MSP route. Paycom is a merchant and will not go the MSP route.Originally posted by morecash

The IPSP rule really only applies to VISA. I have heard nothing in terms of AMEX getting back in the biz.

1) Transactions for dollar amounts less than $10 chargeback at a much lower rate than those of higher amounts.Originally posted by NetRodent

so the bank credits the customer without doing a chargeback.
2) Very small recurring transactions (say $5.95 or less) are almost never cancelled and will consistently rebill at about 95%.
2) Lower dollar recurring tends to have a longer retention and as stated in #1 they cbk at a lower rate

All rates are negotiated.Originally posted by Centurion
1)What are your chargeback fees?
2)How much of a reserve do you take and for how long?
We have no reserve, rather a security deposit, built to a fixed amount over a long period of time.

Cards issued in the US are accpted more than non US. The biggest reason: More cards issued in the US, as a region and not having AVS outside the US presents additional risks for merchants.Originally posted by Loseff
Are any differences in processing of US and EU issued cards? From which regions cards rejected more often?Comment
