Btw i knew making this post wasn't the smartest thing to do. There are always reasons for declines and reasons for sales being off. I think one thing that processors (and their employees and reps) completely fail to realize is the thought process of us Paysite Owners and the affiliates that promote them. The majority of us have never worked for a processor and never had the privilege of seeing exactly how a processor works. That being said a lot of what is said is pure speculation. Without any knowledge of how their backend works and without ever hearing anything but everything is ok all we have to go by is our stats and experiences.
- When stats drops by 30% in one day for no reason logic tells me something is not right.
- When stats drop 30% on the exact same date (not day of the week but actual date of the month) as last month logic tells me something is not right.
- When my credit card that works everywhere else is declined that tells me something is not right.
- When other reputable webmasters complain about unexplainable drops in sales that gets me wondering.
- When other reputable webmasters report their credit card was denied that gets me wondering.
Starting this thread wasn't the smartest thing. However ccbill has to know people are talking and questioning wtf is going on. Last month I got more emails from fellow ccbill paysite owners asking if my sales were down than ever before. I love ccbill. I like their risk averse style. It makes me feel comfortable about their future and the future of my money with them. With our $$$ on the line it sometiems is very frustrating and tough to stay quiet. Especially when you have a mouth like mine.
