re: who to believe, ccbill, ibill, globill, etc.
all i can tell you is this, we use 4 processors for redundancy on 32 paysites.
in this priority:
ccbill
ibill
globill
2000charge
globill has been the best for support, we keep them in position 3 because until now they pay every 2 weeks and we feel they engage in too aggressive scrubbing (we are currently about 1% chargeback usa and international combined)
ccbill has always been in first postion---lately i have a feeling they do excessive scrubbing---their tech support is about a B+.
they pay like clockwork---and we've had them at number one for about 4 years.
ibill is number 2, i have a feeling their scrubbing is perhaps on par with ccbill, or maybe a little less aggressive, no problems with payments except now they are floating on a fairly big web900 bill to us (publicly they're blaming worldcom bk---we'll see how this plays out---we've lost many thousands to webcash, DMR, and another one that went south---so i don't believe much of anything) my opinion is if you collect $ on my customers' purchases you best figure out a way to pay me or change your modus operandi fast so you can pay me---if it does not change soon we will simply remove web900 and go with a different phone biller (we have recently installed the globill phone system).
ibill's customer support has been the worst---with their tech support the absolute worst.
we've had 2000charge on for less than a year so i don't have much of a feel for it.
BUT, globill has consistently been superior for support---and i think their tech support people are the sharpest.
whether they have this visa thing handled is still unclear to me, but in public they sure are handling it with class---and they did tell our webmaster group of visa problems way before anyone else.
so if i see they are telling the truth i will move them to number one position in the near future and see how it plays.
