YEah its Impossible Mission from Epic for the commodore 64.

Was a good game :thumbsup

Epic did JumpMan for the c-64 as well? That was another fun one.

Gyruss came along and I thought to myself who needs more then 64k ;)

Is this for real? So all European rebills will be gone ? :feels-hot

They have lost nothing yet....

Everything is as normal as it gets over there. If you guys are lucky they will really fuck up and run the EU rebills through the US account.

Then it would be on like donkey kong.

Sit tight... Things always work out at iBill. They have 9 lives.

Does this mean if you are a european Ibill client you will not be able to process with Ibill?

I understood most of your post but what do you mean about "guarantee."

That's the gist of it as far as I can see. If you are an Ibill USA client you should not lose any transactions. This is about where your company is, not where your clients are.

It may be a moot point in any event, my Ibill SU average has fallen so much since the CVV2 intro that it is now on a par with my backup processor.

This is what they wrote to me " The guarantee is basically saying that you will be responsible for anything that is or might be owed to us for services rendered." That makes you personally responsible, I dont understand the need for this if they get the money first. I have guaranteed things before but the companies were in the US, which made me more comfortable and had been around for a while.

I believe this means that if that European bank flakes out on Ibill, then the European webmasters will not be able to process. I think US-based webmasters will still be able to process EU customer transactions as they are settled by US Banks.

In other words, Ibill's U.S. clients will not be affected. Correct me if I'm wrong.

you're right. It's the EU MERCHANTS that are affected not the customers.

So what happened? Are we still in business?

What about Monday's payout?

Not getting any news from my rep.

no fucking idea. my 'premium support' rep has been unavailable for the past 3 days.

still processing signups...

more interesting reading from that report:

So Mastercard is fining them for factoring.

I thought the whole point of the IPSP meltdown last October was so that third parties could charge without issue. Is it only Visa that has the new IPSP regs allowing third party?

there are underlying issues very few know about... its not about fines....lol

When this bomb drops it will be the end so better jump over to Epoch or CCbill while you can! :thumbsup

Visa has been very specific about cross border aquisitions and what their policies are regarding it. Basically it boils down to one word :DONT.

That is about as easy to figure out as to predict that Mitch will be spamming in any thread about another processor having issues...

tony404, I am also sorry that you do not seem to grasp that ePassporte functions as a financial services provider, not unlike any other method you use to legitimately collect or disburse funds on the internet or in a physical medium.
As to your statements regarding ownership and people not admitting to things, you are mistaken. This has been discussed pretty much to death in recent weeks and if you either didn't see the thread or have some sort of reading comprehension problems then I do apologize to you but I am not repeating myself yet again in this thread. Perhaps you do not realize that you have also personally guaranteed any accounts with any of the IPSPs that you do business with, you've given Paypal your SSN if you agreed to their new terms of service for business accounts a month or so ago -- something that is way more intrusive than a bank account number.

Furthermore, to fund a commercial or Commerce account, you MUST do so with a wire transfer -- which would absolutely mean that accounting would have to know who's account was what. Or perhaps you expect them to simply divine who should get what credited to their account through the use of a Magic 8 Ball or a Ouija board???

Any news from iBill??

VISA EU Update


It has been recently reported that iBill received notice that its acquiring bank in Europe was considering a suspension of iBill's VISA processing for foreign sponsored merchants. Currently, we are continuing to process EU VISA transactions. We are working toward a resolution of this issue, which affects not only iBill, but IPSPs with a relationship with our EU processor. US merchants are unaffected regarding this issue. To avoid any confusion, please be assured that merchants based in the US can process domestic and international credit cards as per usual.

fuck :321GFY

What makes you think that you would be safe over there? These Mastercard issues are not limited to iBill only, all the processors are going through this, only iBill's being a public company makes their problems visible.

Use PSW or CCBILL...

Interesting, in a thread about IBill potentially losing their ability to process for EU merchants, the only thing that nevermind takes away from it or comments on is something directed at ePassporte.

Even funnier, in searching nevermind's posts, nearly all of them are directed at ePassporte/Epoch, overwhelmingly negative as well.

I guess we can see where her head is.
