I speculated in the stock cause I like it long term. People predicting it's demise are missing a couple of key points:
1. IBill is practically alone in allowing adult tangible goods. Got dvds or VHS? Guess what, they have a near monopoly. CCBill, Globill, etc. will just say "huh" if you ask them about a shopping cart. And that stuff is low chargeback (cause it has a real shipping address). The only real alternative is PayPal. Now that Ibill accepts foreign shipping orders, they have a lock on that market.
2. The overwhelming majority of Ibll customers never missed a check and are happy. They ain't going anywhere.
Sure, they fucked up the Visa thing something awful. Failing to match the CCBill deal on the $750 was just plain stupid. But some new management and directiion should fix those guys up.
I would stay tuned on IBill. They could go either way, depending on if the new management has a brain. The $750 fee is so small compared to what they take, its just plain stupid not to credit it like CCBill.
