100% valid cards declined at sponsors

**redwhiteandblue** · 06-26-2009, 02:41 AM

I think this is a far more likely explanation for ratios being up one month and on the floor the next. There's nothing we can really do about it I guess, just concentrate on those sponsors least affected. Are people finding that CCBill sponsor ratios are less affected than others at the moment?

why they can't process?

**Matyko** · 06-26-2009, 02:59 AM

My ratios are shit again since 20th June...Thanks for the confirmation, I suspected this as primary cause. WTF!!!

i can just HOPE that my cookies last longer than this fucking problem.

**janosik** · 06-26-2009, 03:20 AM

same here

Very bad ratios last few days

**iSpyCams** · 06-26-2009, 04:15 AM

My ratios have been down all month. My guess is that with all the scamming that's been going on, everyone has their fraud protection cranked so high they gertting false positives and shutting down good deals as well.

Also a few months ago remember MC decided that cross-sales were against its terms of use, I wonder if processors are being forced by MC to scrutinize purchases to a level that is nearly counter productive, declining based on minor address mis-spellings, etc. in order to show due diligence and not have their MC privileges revoked.

Others that are already in hot water due to cross sales passing through their systems may just be intentionally trying to lay low.

Just theorizing based on ratios, I don't have any real info.

No, my ccbill stats went from a steady 1:600 to 1:1500 in May, then went back to near normal this month... except since the 20th. It's been dead the past week or so.

**Matyko** · 06-26-2009, 06:06 AM

Sponsors, affiliates, please confirm or comment, this is much more serious than any MJ threads... So far everybody confirmed to me that 20th was last "good" day, and as of 21th everything went pure shit...

We are doomed!!! :P

could be your bank declining it becaquse its a high risk charge, you gotta look at the decline error code, if its bank decline that means the bank didnt approve it because its high risk, if its processor decline thats because of the scrub rates

**ContentPimp** · 06-26-2009, 06:23 AM

Yes, CCBILL sales stopped for me too for some strange reason... which is impossible unless there is a CC issue somewhere...

This processor doesn't give any error code. It just says payment was not approved, try another card. Well, i tried another - and i got declined again.

Yeah, my sales are down by 50% this month, so far, too.

Ratios are down cause schools out and unemployed Dad's can't jerk with the kids running around the house .... I am thinking about adding a daycare coupon to may product lines ..
