So basically I'm rolling the dice using you. Since in a month you "could" choose to update your TOS again and say sorry anyone using us 2,3,or 4 on the list we're canceling.

How about a no BS answer and just say YES or NO. So I know whether it's worth the risk.

Once a contract is signed, TOS cannot be changed can it?

I suppose the company are hoping, as is all business to be 1st on the processing. :2 cents:

I use Zombaio and it sounds a pretty fair rule to me.

They are saying in very clear to read English. If you don't want to use them as primary and receive the generous processing rate of 4.9% then you will be on the 9% processing plan.

If you contact Zombaio and say "I'm using you as primary" but then turn around, bitch slap them and stick them back into your cascade, they reserve the right to terminate your account.

It's pretty strait forward to understand. If you don't like their rules, don't use them as a biller. Go and use ccbill, epoch or get your own MA.

Hi Billy,
I don't actually agree that I am talking in circles, I'm very straight here. If we are not first in the cascade, we have the legal right to enforce a 9% rate on your account, simple as that. If you choose to abuse this by repeatedly say that we are no 1 in the cascade to get your 4.9% back, and we are not, we have (after repeatedly abuse from you) right to terminate your agreement.

You are not rolling any dice, it's 100% up to you!

ya at the end of the contracts there's usually a clause that says they reserve the right to change the terms with notice or ad an amendment.
It's been awhile since I read their 13 page contract but I think it's in there. I have no ill will against the company since hey everyone is entitled to run their business, I'm just concerned about getting cut off for not understanding what they're saying.

He was really clear... en passant je suis de montreal aussi et je peut te traduire sa première réponse mot à mot si tu comprend pas :1orglaugh

I'm currently building a adult network site and I rather pay 4.9% than a higher rate and NO HOLDBACK than a higher rate because some of their others clients send them crappy transactions and they need to share the extras fees of thoses transaction to all their clients.

Let say you are in the loan business are you giving best interest rate to one with best credit bureau or worst one? Well in 3rd party processing business I agree it could be same with the quality of the transaction... if you only send shitty transactions that are approved only at 10% it's normal to pay a higher discount rate than the guy that have an approval rate of 66+%... If you can't understand it stay in the adult industry and never go work in finance :winkwink:

cjhmdm 12-03-2009 09:53 PM

Damn some of you bitch and whine too much...

We're very happy with Zombaio, this update doesn't affect us.. back to what matters... making money!

goldfish 12-03-2009 09:53 PM

Sounds fair to me, you play scumbag and lie to them(repeatedly) to get 4.9% and you get bounced. Hmm, sounds more than reasonable. So does 9% if you don't want to put them first. Beat 14.9% anyday.

Speaking of which, Tomas, I'd like to speak with you about our processing needs, ICQ possible?

Shoplifter 12-03-2009 09:57 PM

Sounds like reality kicking in. I don't see how it is possible to take pre-declined cards at such a low rate. And because they are the new guys I imagine everyone has them at the bottom of the stack. IMHO having the two tier rates is not a bad idea.

We are all here to make money, we will help you SAVE and MAKE money, but not back in the cascade!

We are going to be using you for all our internal traffic.

xenigo 12-04-2009 02:27 AM

Tomas... your explanation makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

I just wasn't sure what this was all about when I first read the email.

They are a business just like you, or like you should be running things, and they have to do cost control as well. Being dead last on your China traffic just to incur costs for your cheap ass is insane.

If you do not want to use them because you are a cheap ass, that's fine. But wanting them to be 3rd, or 4th, on your cascade for your declines and running up costs, but still demanding a 4.9% processing rate is ridiculous.

Even at 9%, they are lower than most other processors.

Some of the way people, supposedly in this industry, answer these threads is very telling of how they run their business, or hobby. Absolutely no business sense on either side of the issue, yet expecting endless free fucking handouts.

Unbelievable.

:disgust

+1, get real people. :1orglaugh They may have a stupid name with a bunch of random letters, but I agree with their position on this..:D

that sounds kind of like a dick-move bro

Zombaio shouldnt worry about the cpl of folks bitching & whining. You always get a cpl of idots on a forum. The funny thing is, it always seems to be the same people on every forum! :winkwink:

Its only because of these idiots in this business, that companies like Zombaio have to set TOS like this!



Great to hear for someone that uses them. Finding their service reputable & that this would not effect you! :thumbsup

Hit me up anytime zombaio!

lagcam 12-04-2009 05:12 AM

I have no problem with this whatsoever and think it makes good business sense for Zombaio to tighten this up. I WANT processors I use to run their businesses properly and efficiently because I want them to stay in business.

We have all seen enough processors who didn't.

The alternative for Zombaio is for them to start charging decline fees and I for one don't want that.

:2 cents:

lazzlo 12-04-2009 05:39 AM

I wish people used Zombaio. I only use one sponser that uses them as primary and stats are great.

xxxman2 12-04-2009 05:54 AM

I love zombaio except their affiliate system, I am happy with their rate.

The Duck 12-04-2009 06:56 AM

Makes sense to me.

ArsewithClass 12-04-2009 07:21 AM

As said,


Zombaio, hit me up! :thumbsup

This means that the transactions we see on that specific account is 95% or more declines, which we have costs for. With this clause we have a legal way to terminate those merchants - or at least give them a chanse to put us higher up in the cascade.

makes sense to me.
seems pretty reasonable.

CS-Jay 12-04-2009 11:35 AM

Makes sense to me.

Tomas, can you hit me up when you have a chance?

Thanks,
Jay

If we would charge you 10-15% this would not be a issue.

Then why not say if declines exceed X% then the new rate is Y% OR impose a small decline fee?

Varius 12-04-2009 11:53 AM

I'm not sure why you guys make things so complicated. If I was Zombaio, here is what I would do:

- Charge whatever discount rate (%) they currently charge

- Charge a fee per decline, let's say it's 25 cents.

- Not worry about where you are in anyone's cascade since you are passing the decline fee you incur along to the merchant.

Simple, effective, no drama.

Yep. Always easy to say what you would do, and agree that it is unfair, when it's not your business, or other people running up a tab on it.

Or make added complexities on your end of the business to solve a problem which is created by people lying about where you fall on the cascade after a 4.9% hook up.

Brad Mitchell 12-04-2009 12:12 PM

Good for them, that makes total sense. At 9% they are still a huge savings over other companies and I can't blame them for charging more to be 2-3-4th in a cascade.

I never said it's unfair; I just think it's a bad business model compared to charging a set decline fee.

Charging a decline fee per transaction is extremely easy to do - most merchant accounts and gateways have been charging them for many, many years :upsidedow

Hi.

I quoted you out of convenience. Wasn't bashing you personally.

Sorry for the confusion ace.

I think Zombaio needs to invest some money in sending you to a customer service course. :2 cents:
