Not accepting Visa?
 

So is there anyone out there that has refused to bow down to Visa and pay their fees that is running a profitable pay site? I am just curious to know about this as i've seen some dwindle that couldn't afford the fees. Is there an alternative you've found that is working well? Did you already have a huge client base when you refused to accept the Visa terms? Has anyone started a new paysite/affiliate program and not used Visa as a payment option that they were able to get it off the ground? Like I said just doing some research as to my next project so I thought you guys might be able to shed some light.

A web site that cannot afford the Visa fees is just a hobby.

tis true unless it was perhaps someone who had just gotten started when the fees took effect and perhaps they had splurged their capital on content and design, etc.

Hi,

Visa is very important to the success of a site. Many, many buyers have Visa and no other cards.

Visa is important? Check out ccBill, they have a visa merchant payback program?

Hey Plexer...

Hit me up on ICQ if you get a chance.

VISA is 75% of our credit card traffic. I don't see how a site could do without.

i stopped using visa and it took about 50% away. not good so looks like i will have to be signing up with visa and ccbill

Why would anyone with a huge client base not "bow down" to visa? Sounds crazy and I would imagine it would put a hurt on signups.

But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
