LOL Lenny, I don't really know how other processors handle their situations, I only work for CCBill. I would imagine they do it in a similar manner, since the cc's have really strict rules about how and what you can do with cards and transactions but nothing I would know for sure.
As to the five sales a day thing, that was a simple enough guess. If he'd said 1 in 10, I'd have guessed it was ten sales a day, geez...
