Okay guys I have a new programmer bud and he isn't very familiar with 3rd party billing and seems to be very skeptical and basically doesn't want anything to do with it.

I've tried to tell him though that thousands of webmasters use 3rd party billing and it is a viable solution and rarely do the processors not send checks out.

For what we're doing, it's just going to be an ebook site and we won't be throwing a TON of traffic at it. So obviously the revenue generated won't be high, but he insists that he still WANTS a merchant account because he thinks it is obsurd that we won't be able to recieve their CC information...

Is it just me or was I under the impression that when you start out with a small site, its best to just use a 3rd party processor opposed to investing money and getting a merchant account?

here is something he said:

"i could give 2 shits what their CC info is -- i just want the money in the bank -- no chargebacks, no bullshit"
