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 ..

lol ..

from other side, there would be no clicks from those dads (cause they have kids running around), so ratios would be stayed the same..

We will have clients whose cards just will not go thru some days because high risk charges are blocked...

So what you're saying is true.. they need to go to the backend and look at the decline reason...

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

I will concur, as of monday the 21st my earnings started to decline, with today being the worst day... Although my average earnings per day this week are only 10% less than last week.

fuck

I can confirm that ratios have dropped a bit since the 20th. There was two possible reasons I saw for this. It was hot for an extended period and then it rained for a couple days which made people buy and then it got hot again and people stopped buying (too hot to wank?). Or it could be the processors. There has been an extraordinary amount of fraud attempts this year. I'm sure that processors have been cracking down on fraud hard to keep CBs ratios manageable. Also I think they have been denying most new requests for crosssales. But why all the processors seem to scrub at the same time is somewhat baffling to me. Perhaps an end of the month scrub? Sales have been pretty good so far today though, however. My feeling is that with the economy fragile fraudsters have kicked it into high gear to make cash. This of course fucks the average joe because it forces all credit card guys to over scrub. I'm hoping this will all clear out in a month or two and return back to more normal levels.

This seems more likely. Why would it affect all billing processors? If the banks are flagging stuff due to high risk on some days then it would affect all sales regardless of what processor you use and there would be no way to avoid it. Kinda shitty if the banks are stepping in and stopping our sales. I really doubt its due to tubes. You would be seeing gradual declines, not the stop n go sales that are occurring.

Billers are just being much more careful these days.

Maybe, but I experienced a sharp drop in new CCBill sales exactly a week ago, so the 20th as well, pretty much down 40-50% on average, worst spike being yesterday with just one fucking new sale. Rebills are about normal.

yeah man but don't forget we are in worldwide bussiness.. air conditions you have described doesn't apply to whole world.. For example here in europe we haven't seen any sunny / hot period, so i don't see how it could affect sales

**FilthyRob** · 06-26-2009, 11:13 PM

Sales have been rough for a week at least for me. Rebills are ok from what I can tell.

It would be nice to hear ccbill position about this.

**Ramp** · 06-27-2009, 01:09 AM

**femdomdestiny** · 06-27-2009, 01:14 AM

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.

Same here,although I have worse ratios then yours.

**nickutis** · 06-27-2009, 01:18 AM
