    Problems with VISA

    Hi
    My name is Staketet . I'm living in Sweden and I'm the Webmaster of a smal site .http://staketet.com/ . The billing is made by The Token System in Callifonia US. The customers use their cards for paying. Since two months ago they can not use VISA.
    The Token system says that VISA US do not accept payment to
    Auldt Sites and that VISA has delared war againt the adult business.
    For me it sounds strange. Is it true? Please tell me more about it.
    What shall I do. My income has gone down to one third

    Visa does not have a rule saying "NO ADULT" but they might have given the bank a hard enough time to make them stop processing your transactions.

      Yeah, were at war.
      Some countries they stopped altogether accepting customers.

      But also for billing companies too.
      I got a call from them, the billing site was an unusual country, so was a big flag.

      They rang up and almost pleaded for me to say I could not remember the site or the transaction.
      Had a charge from a US co too, so they flagged that along with.

      Have not heard from them since.

      Guess they have flagged me as porn friendly now.

      Sorry no answers but if your customers get over the temptation there is less chance of it happenning again.

      Problem is the description does not match the billing description until it is posted, so alot of people do not recognise the charge.

      Try getting your billing agency to use your name in the transaction maybe, good luck trying though.

        How do you accept payments now?
        I don't use ICQ anymore.
