I understand the user/affiliate benefits and savings, I just think that they should keep themselves seperated from the other entities out there as much as possible.

I am far from an expert on the subject, in fact don't quote me on anything, but after reading about the 'virtual visa gift card' scenario as Epassporte and Paycom were employing it to keep chargebacks low... well, it just looked like a deceptive banking scheme to me and would make me question whether or not I would want to do business with either party.

I have an account with Epassporte and enjoy using it. I have even said in the past, they have come through with good customer service for me when I needed it and I recognized that publicly. However, with the question of whether or not CCBill should utilize Epassporte for any business function I am simply of the opinion that I would encourage CCBill to stay seperate and not fund the growth of any such competitor.

I'd like to think that ideally the Cadwells will come out with a virtual solution of their own someday. However, I can appreciate that they are already the best in their respective field and I don't think that anybody wants to see them diversify to the point of potentially distupting or taking focus off of their core business.

Cheers,
