Our merchants save money and maintain control, period!
Nobody is questioning your Risk Management or your abilities Sarah. Period.

But I have a question: Is there a rule about 15 chargebacks being a threshold or not?

If the answer is yes (and I am 110% certain that it is), then your experience is fortunate and / or lucky and / or your relationship with MC is very strong.

Can you guarantee that a fine won?t be levied? I know you can?t. And as we all know this is not a predictable business; so why throw those that wanted to go 3rd Party (and in fact were in a 3rd Party IPSP solution until iBill changed their model) into a situation where this could be a death sentence?

To me it just doesn?t make sense given the series of unfortunate events of late.
