it's all a big game the credit card companies play. You have too many chargebacks then they fine you. So basically they are taking money from you for the chargebacks ( some I'm sure are legit ) and then when they have taken too much from you they fine you for it. It's like if you don't have money to pay your bill they give you a late charge as if somehow if you didn't have $100 to pay them now that they fined you you will have $125

But I think this will mostly effect the shady sites. I went inside one site that sucked, looked for a way to cancel a membership and never found it. I emailed the support and 36 hours later got a reply that told me I had to contact the credit card people which took 48 hours to do so I was then over my 3 day trial and was billed an entire month. When I read their terms closely they stated that I had to cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ended not to be charged. . . so basically unless I canceled before I even joined there was no way to avoid getting a full months billing.

It's guys like that that are causing the problems.
