        That rumor has been around for many years, but so far they haven't.

        We'd survive regardless.

          Close this fucking thread.

          No offense...

          Why dont we discuss how we are going to clean our business up and work with Visa & MC instead
          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                I have to tell you, I think thats what they want us to believe. We are a 10 billion dollar industry and I would bet 85% is done on cc. If we were so small ,they would of dropped us a long time ago instead of the annoyance of dealing with us.

                                    100% correct. Not only are we small potatoes as far as amounts billed, we are their highest drain on customer service resources.

                                    Why do you think they're requiring lower chargeback percentages, fees paid, tighter restrictions, etc? No, I don't think they'll stop processing adult internet, but they'll make sure they only process the cream of the crop.

                                    May I take this time to mention CHECKS? If you have any questions, please email me. If I don't know the answer, I'll find it for you. There's a reason all the large programs take checks.

                                      don't bring down so much negative thought over here. if you think itwill happen then it will... I highly doubt it ever will and if it does there will be a replacement for it in time

                                        Forbes magazine estimates 1.5 billion in internet porn sales and memberships. It's the INTERNET sales Visa/MC are unhappy with and unfortunately, that's where most of us earn our $$$$.

                                            ...then again, 1-3% of billions and billions of dollars isn't really chump change. Killing off that much business is never a good thing, and while I can foresee them making CHANGES to online porn billing...I dont really think they'd drop the whole thing entirely. But anyway, just my ...what do I know? hehe

                                                I heard they were going to start making people pay a fee. Is this true?

                                                    dont kid yourself..

                                                    if they stopped billing this biz is dead..

                                                    no way people survive

                                                    we would lose at least 80% of the people in this biz

                                                          We aren't even a ripple in the number of transactions that Visa & MC process every day. They could drop us tomorrow and not even BLINK. Adult is 1%-3% of their business, small potatoes compared to their mainstream transactions.
                                                          Don't forget that Visa and Mastercard also make money on interest they charge the card holders from our transactions. Not every CC holder pays their card in full every month.

                                                              The truth be told someone in the business needs to be coming up with an alternative, because Visa may not always be where you want to be. Don?t forget they are being offered a juicy nugget by lawmakers if they get out of the porn business Credit Card debt would no longer be dischargeable in bankruptcy.
