VISA IPSP Workaround - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi all,
This may work as a stopgap solution for anyone unable to get set up with their existing US-based IPSP. There is a small, but well established third party biller in Amsterdam called Verotel.com. We've never used them directly, but a few of our European traffic exchange partners use them to process our revshares and, for the last 2 years, they have been reliable on our end of the stick. The rates (13.5 - 15%) are about the same as the US third party companies and for anyone in Canada or Europe, Australia, etc that is unable to jump through all the hoops, it is at least an option to start over.

here they are: http://www.verotel.com/ipsp.html

On a side note, if you are in the nasty situation of having your recurring database run by a US domestic third party biller, but are unable to get a US corp set up in time to be able to continue, you may want to talk to your rep at that company and see how they are doing in getting visa to allow them to grandfather the rebills even if you have to stop processing new sales through them. Not sure how the negotiations are going on that, but I know that the CEO of one of the "big three" is in NYC right now trying to set this up as a possibility with visa.

My sincere sympathy and best wishes to all of you effected by this situation. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help in the way of referrals to other processing or revenue options. I am moderating the seminars at the Berlin Show at the end of this month and speaking at the Cannes show, so if you are there, look me up!

Ciao,
