bump for this one./...................

T'ank ye.

Hopefully a lot of good information is provided for others, as well as myself. I know I've been getting crash courses from the different companies. Unfortunately I do not have a day to just drop everything and talk to them all. But I am trying to talk to a couple each day to hear the different options.

But the people I've talked to thus far have been VERY informative, and cleared up some misconceptions about different things. Which is cool. Hopefully I will be able to talk to the last of the company reps over the next few.

:thumbsup

The most important thing is compliance. Can't stress that enough. Make sure you understand the rules and that you are not breaking them.

Have a good weekend :)

I'm guessing that you are referring to 2257, meeting VISA regs, or the billing companies??

I only do softcore/foot fetish, and celebrity. So I am a bit tame by comparison to many out there. Even with softcore, I have all 2257 just in case that law changes again in 2 years. Better to be safe then sorry. :thumbsup

I have heard however for compliance with some, mainly in M.A., you have to be incorporated. So if you deal with EU, you need a presence there, if based in U.S., etc.

:Oh crap

netbilling is cool

Cool? Meaning they do a good job?

:winkwink:

?


:Oh crap

(Just a follow up on people who were also interested in this information)

With all of the great information received thus far, and from the people who I have been able to get ahold of I think the solution would appear to be...

A Merchant Account

or

CCBill

My biggest sticking point is not being able to get paid via ACH via CCB. Because of how my company(s) are set up on our end. Having payments to ePass types of credit cards are added inconvience. We need it deposited directly to the business account(s).

Out of the 4 sites in question that would be involved in this (inital) billing change, there are two different companies, or LLC's involved. One I share with a busines partner, and one that's wholely owned by me. So that is two company names (a point of interest in some negotiations). So deposits, or payments, would have different account numbers.

A hastle, yes. But some of my sites belong under one company, and the others are wholely owned by my main. :Oh crap

As mentioned before, the celebrity site(s) are not moving right now. They are staying where they are. If I made those part of this package, then a M.A. would be the way to go all the way. But right now, I am just worried about the foot sites.

Some people who've posted in this thread for different companies I have not been able to get ahold of. Either the offlines are getting lost by ICQ, or they have not been online. So if you've dropped me a line, and not heard back. That is probably why. I have tried at least once to contact the companies who've responded to hear their pitch before making a decision.

For those who've taken the time to share their experiences, and companies who've been interested. Thank you for the time, follow ups, and interest in earning our business.

My thoughts exactly mate. :thumbsup


I have two bill companies now, and changing one of them. In the volitile internet business, you need to have a plan B, or not have all your bill options in one basket. That's just good business sense. We've seen companies go to shit (like iBill) so you have to be agile.

:pimp

bringing it up

:Oh crap

funny how noone says hi to you - maybe you should consider dropping processing for unde-raged shit

For the record since this was bumped back up.

I ended up going with Paymonde, and CCBill for the sites in question. I split the cascade between the two and so far have been doing ok. No complaints from my members on the sites in question.

I have not received first wire from Paymode yet, as you have to wait a month to get the first payment, where others are 2 weeks. But beyond that, everything seems to be processing as normal.

I still have Verotel handling my celebrity site(s) as the ONLY processor. I have been happy with them since switching to them a year or so ago now. All payments on time, and support's good. Never a complaint from my members. If it were not for their $1500.00 Pro, I would have considered them for ALL SITES as they do ACH deposits (meaning I am not getting raped with a $15 per wire from the billing co. and another $11 from the bank per).

But so far so good.

:thumbsup

Moved my foot fetish sites from BHE to Paycom and CCBill. Can't complain even though they scrub much harder. No chargebacks with BHE and no chargebacks with CCBill / Paycom.

I was happy at BHE for almost a decade. But last year or so I had to move the celeb sites (Verotel). Next I had to move the footsies (Paymonde/CCBill). Regardless, it was a nice run. I had next to no chargebacks before, and not expecting any now.
