What the fuck?
god damn I hate it when you write up a big letter and then you get a freaking error shit if i'm writing that again. Just go look at http://www.blacksonblondes.com/password/?rid=a Notice it now declares VERY CLEARLY at the top of the page the FULL PRICE the user is really going to be charged. Nice to see this happening, luckily my sites don't have trials and kickass, this is sure going to put a sqeeze conversions for Universial pass type outfits and programs that trick customers to signup for shit they don't authorise. Nice job Epoch. |

oh yeah they're really worried about October, TWO pre-checked cross-sales to two other sites that don't even have URL's/domain names attached to them. I've never joined a site with these cross-sales checked, when does the poor shmuck surfer find out the domain names of these two fabulous sites he's being joined up for?
I love the Python scam where the front ends have different domains than the members area do so the victim.......er.....member is totally confused what site he is actually a member of.

A lot of sponsors at the top wouldn't be there if they couldn't have scammed for years and years. Hopefully their party is over shortly.
There's something seriously wrong when business models are dependant on confusing customers. |

i went to our epoch join page. it now says this at the top:
Your trial membership for MILF Auditions - Three Day Trial Membership will begin as soon as your transaction is complete. Your price is $1.95 for 3 days. Thereafter you will be charged $29.95 for every 1 month(s) until cancelled. notice that it doesn't mention you can cancel the trial. makes it sound like you can't cancel till you get charged monthly. also it's laid out in the most unattractive way you can imagine. i see what they're trying to do, but perhaps they should be clearer for the surfers about being able to cancel the trials AND make the text look attractive so the page doesn't look like shit. |

Wow I can't believe that. Pre-Checked, Double 1 day cross sells. Unbelievable. Looks like epoch is as risky, if not more, as ibill.

Epoch's marketing and sales tools have been more aggressive than other IPSP's. But that does not equate to riskier. There is and always has been full disclosure of terms, and, email confirmations of sales with links to Billing Support should someone want to cancel a trial. This works. Any program working with us can tell you.
Further, in cases of cross-sells other than Purchase Plus, the customer must validate the cross sell on an Epoch form by an active submission. Again, full disclosure of terms and email confirmations are included in the entire process. Epoch has been fully compliant with all card association ratio's while incorporating these upsell tools. With the new ratios, a 60% change from the old ones, some of the features we were able to offer at 2.5% will need to be adjusted to meet the 1%. Since MC ratio's are already 1% and we are compliant, there is no reason to think the same can't happen with Visa. It will. Many prog's are already taking pro-active measures to insure their compliance. Re-read our post regarding some of the changes we will be making and you will see that some of them don't take effect until July 24th. ![]()

You don't need to preselect crossales, people will automatically check them themselves if they know they are getting a great deal for them. We changed out the price point and people actually click them on their own, and we can barely see the difference from the number of crossales that were preselected to the ones that weren't.

Hmmm, I will go out on a limb here and say that I'm sure everyone criticizing both IBill and Epoch doesn't earn a dime from any site that uses either of them right?

And we might chalk this up to my not having a cigarette for the last two days and feeling the extreme desire to beat something to death... but then on the other hand I really do get tired of listening to people bash Processor (insert name here) when they turn right around and use sponsors that are running big numbers through the very same processor. The problem in this industry is easy. It's the sheer weight of the hypocrisy that drags it down. |

They should definitely make their stats page more user friendly.

If Epoch had any problem with the 1% thing there reaction to it would be a lot harsher than it has been. If they were out of complicance bad then there response would of been to kill all cross sells and free trials. But they haven't done that so it means there well within the rules. |

All the hoopla about getting ones own merchant account is wonderful, if you dont do huge volume, never have any problems, know the guys at MC or Visa personally who are going to turn you off, or one of the other multitude of reasons I hear daily. Bottom lines so simple. This business is going to change and I think about 75% of the people in it will be gone by Christmas. The ones that are left are the ones sitting around right now, evaluating their businesses and deciding what to do. Of course the 25% that sticks is probably already the 25% making most of the money ;) |

Stock your fridge with carrot sticks to chew on and make sure you have a Hitachi magic wand available. This thread reminds me of 'Airplane' when Lloyd Bridges says, "I picked a hell of a week to quit smoking." Not that I'm saying that the state of processor business is like a doomed plane or anything. Just a little turbulence before righting itself. |
