I love CCBill, but every now and then I like to assess these things...

With people I work closely with, I believe in loyalty over the best price, and will even pay a premium to stay with the same people when I think someone else has a better offer for an equally good service. However, I don't work closely with CCBill... I feel like a number. Not that I expect more, but it means I'm considering shopping around.

So... CCBill is taking 12.5% of my sales. Plus they hold back 5% for six months. They take Visa/MC plus a few others. I don't bother with their check option because I think I lost as much in chargebacks as I ever made with it. (Next time you get a check, think of this... Everything you need to shop with a check online is on that check. That can't be good...)

So, my question... and I really am asking because I am curious, not because I want to harsh on CCBill... is this: Could I be doing better? Is there a place that charges me less, offers as good a referral program, is as reliable, and will maybe treat me a little more personally?

I suspect I won't change. I hate to wander around between providers. Still, I thought it was worth a look. Anyone have feelings on this?
