VISA will never stop proccessing porn....right? - GoFuckYourself.com

MetaformX · 04-26-2002, 12:28 AM

alot of you guys have this fear that visa will soon stop proccessing porn altogether....
I'm just not buying it. Pornography is the ONLY reccession proof business that I know of....

If VISA was concerned about the morality issue, they would have stopped proccessing porn transactions along time ago.
If they were concerned about the high risk of fraud and chargebacks, they would have stopped proccessing porn transactions along time ago. Their in it for the money, and there is too much money in porn, even after the chargebacks and fraud.

Why bite the hand that feeds them? I personally do not think we have anything to worry about. some more restrictions will come prolly, but they will never stop proccessing 'legal' pornography, in my opinion.

My GOD! For once, you actually started an intelligent thread.

I agree with you...Too bad this thread will die soon.

SleazyDream · 04-26-2002, 12:46 AM

they won't stop processing porn, but they WILL stop automatic re-bills on porn. I kinda knew you were too dumb to get this point.
Too many companies use this to TRICK and DECEIVE the customer. It's very clsoe to FRAUD.
Porn sites of the future will be a ONE time purchase, and require another purchase to continue.

Porn sites aren't the only companies that automatically rebill customers credit cards for payments.

Telephone, cable, gas, and electric companies all offer to automatically bill your credit card every month to pay your bill.

As long as the person agrees to it when they sign-up, then I believe it is totally legal.

Yup. Just like I have to signup for phone service, cable service, electiric service each month. I'm so glad its not like back in the
old days when I'd get automatically rebilled each month for
all those services. This is SO much more convienent.

Someone needs to come out with MASTERbate CARD or somethin'..

Amputate Your Head · 04-26-2002, 09:34 AM

you can be auto-rebilled for almost anything these days.... not just porn.

True. If they stop auto rebilling there will be new ways of running membersites. There's just to much money in this for them to turn their backs on it.

Quit teasing me like that. You know you suck cock better than Snow right?

Sly_RJ · 04-26-2002, 11:00 AM

I don't think SD was referring to simple auto-billing. He was talking about "secret" auto-billing. But then again, I could be wrong. You know, where it says in the disclaimer or something similar how you will be automatically billed by some other site for using the current site.

An example would be FreeNetPass. They give you the free pass to tons of porn, but then next month they charge you for the two other sites they signed you up with. At least that's what they were doing last time I looked at it.

Meta, thanks for an actual post!

Bastard will probably get the DVD player for this...

It comes down to Chargebacks. Banks are cheap and chargebacks cost money to them in terms of customer service manhours and reputation. The amount of chargebacks on things like your phone or electric bill are SMALL, because you are continuing to recieve their service and WANT to continue to receive it.
Answer this truthfully, how many porn companies rebill people who havn't been to the site in months? When people are forced to continue to pay for something they arn''t using and they see that on their Credit Card bill they get pissed and demand a refund. This has happened too many times to the point where the credit card companies now want to end re-billing on adult sites.

never say never, i was surprised when american express stopped processing from adult sites.

Yip.....They said it was because of so much Fraud in the porn business though...

Don't you think if they can not filter Fraud out on porn credit charges... The people doing the Fraud have found other ways to cheat American Express...... Sure they have but you'll never hear about it...

The last company to do that......There stock took a HUGE Dump...

CitiBank....... went public some years ago... someone or someone's got into there computer's and transfered like 10 or 20 million...... The company Value on the stock market went down
hunderd of million's.....

You'll never see another Bank or Credit Card company make that kind of stuff public......

Just like you will never see ibill or ccbill or any Merchant account holder admit..... someone hacked them.... That would be STUPID.

I wouldn't go so far as to say Visa will never stop...after all the process abotu a zillion dollars worth of transactions a month, what's a million here and a milion there?

As soon as the losses outweight the profits they'll stop.

exactly - customer service manhours ain't cheap - and whinny customers wanting a refund tend to keep them on the line for a LONG time.
