Gotta love you Mitch, keep on playing chicken little on the webmasters and maybe you'll get some business out of it.

As has been stated already, and not just by me, there is not going to be a change with processing Mastercard on May 1st for the majority of the companies that do business in adult.

Mastercard, just like Visa, wants to know who they are actually processing for. For the past few months, ALL Visa transactions are reported by url, along with the chargeback and credit ratios of those urls. Clients using PSPs like CCBill, Epoch, IBill, etc have not been in the least affected by this change, so far as the technical aspects of processing and thruput are concerned.

Website owners with chargebacks that are out of line with the allowable minimums should be working with their processors to identify and correct the problems as best they can, since at some point it would make sense for Visa, and probably Mastercard if they decide to implement the same system, to say that certain URLs are excluded from processing -- any processing, including own merchant account or PSP/third party as well.

If and when that does happen, it will be up to each PSP to notify affected clients, not to post about it on message boards.
