Need Adult Merchant Account
 

I will be selling VHS and DVD's on my new site, and need a merchant account for that.

Thanks

I suggest NetBilling. They have good customer service. Don't use Cardservice!!! They are way too slow in their response time and you are always at the mercy of your account rep.

Thanks!

whats your monthly volume gonna be,,

I would recommend Yambo.biz ;)

any bad experience with cardservice? or the only problem was slow email response, ive have spoke with them and everything looks fine.

We had problems with them. The response time for errors and questions was like at least one week. Then they wanted $15,000 for the Visa fees and NetBilling didn't so we dropped Cardservice.

Escort,

Just don't go with Humboldt bank, they suck and there fees suck:(

used them in like 1997 or so.

go with netbilling

www.jettis.com does provide merchant accounts as well

Andre

still need one, talking to 2 but I dont think any of them are serious about anything other then bullshitting.

Escort,

If you need a company to process orders and do the shipping to your customers, please let me know.

We drop ship for alot of adult companies.

thanks

Todd

Netbilling rocks!

We recommend them to many of our clients....

You're already doing billing with CCBill if I recall correctly, just talk to [email protected] about getting you set up -- she's helped a few other people, including me when I was at SIC, get stuff going quickly --

Mitch the netbilling part is done thanks, but that CS didnt send me an email or call and I couldnt reach a live person there.

Kimmy thanks, Mark also just mentioned her to me.

I will still be running all membership related stuff thru a third party but for tangible goods id rather a merchant account.

Thanks

rastakit,

Thanks for the kind words.

not for any reason but to offer up an honest opinion.

our experience with cardservice has been good. they got us what i consider to be a signifcant monthly processing volume, and have been quite patient with us as we continually change dba's/descriptors and merchant types.

i've also heard good things about netbilling although my understanding is that they dont actually issue merchant accounts, they are just a gateway... same with jettis.

Hooper,

We do not issue merchant accounts (only banks do). However, we do write some accounts through relationships we have using trusted and established banks and ISOs. Netbillin is an agent for a few of the banks as well.

Mitch

I am still looking for a merchant account provider ASAP

If you want a full service provider, store, manufacture, stock and ship as well a process sales. Contact me

Welcome to the Integrated Payment Service solution.
powered by the Authorize.Net? Payment Gateway and Wells Fargo's SecureSourceSM processing solution.


Any merchant who knowingly and deliberately supplies false information to Wells Fargo in the online application or transaction process will be denied access to an Integrated Payment Service (IPS) account.
Merchants who provide the following goods or services will likely be declined for an account due to the increased risk associated with the selling and/or distribution of these items:

Adult membership sites

Adult related products; escort services; materials and/or information that is considered grossly offensive or libelous

Audio text; video text, online newsletters

Customized products, such as custom golf clubs

Gaming, lottery

Sweepstakes

Pyramid schemes; multi-level marketing companies

Credit card insurance programs

Online trading (brokerage)

Travel and travel related businesses; airlines

Mail order herbal remedies

Illegal substances and/or activities

Products and services that infringe on the trademarked or copyrighted property of others

Any product or service that presents an unacceptably high risk of purchaser disputes

The only problem i see here is
"Adult related products; escort services; materials and/or information that is considered grossly offensive or libelous "

AND that doesnt mean that he cannot sell p0rn0 online. I dont think escortbiz finds adult products grossly offensive and i dont think he is doing anything libelous either ;)

I guess it all comes down to whether the account rep finda adult DVDS grossly offennsive.

EscortBiz: You may not want to tell them you're doing Adult DVDS. Tell them you're opening an Online DVD store and you want a merchant account for it, end of story.

What difference does it make whether it is a Warner Bros. DVD or Vivid? A DVD is a DVD is a DVD.

good point notjoe

but lets see what the next bullshit I get from these guys, and trust me im not the only one having problems, I will make sure to expose and to fuck them over in every way possible just for stalling and fuckin with me when all I needed was a simple merchant acount.

Do you have a link for the site?

Escortbiz when you deal with these merchants you need to fully disclose your business.. don't hide anything

These merchants have a real itchy finger if you process really high volumes.
It only takes a second for them to hold your account funds and trying to explain to the fraud/risk dept. that you are running a legit operation


I got horror stories dealing with these crooks. They can literally crash a business in days after it took you years to build

another thing is that they will make all these huge promises to you.

tell you this and that. then after you pay for the $300-500 application fee it goes to their underwriters to review.

don't be surprised if you don't get what you expected.

the hardest is having a low monthly cap

I disclosed everything and soon ill disclose the headaches I got in return and the lies

Oh man!!!! What a GREAT idea! Don't tell them what you are really doing and that way when they find out (and they will) they can freeze all your money, go into your bank account they deposit to, suck out a bunch more of it, and not give it back to you for a minimum of 6 months!

Fucking eh, that's so smart why doesn't everyone do it!

EscortBiz, shoot me an E-mail. I have a no-nonsense contact I can put you in touch with that I and many others have used.

Brad

As tempting as it is to make fun of you Kimmy, and your epassporte system which is about 1/5 of a paypal type system i will hold myself back, but here is something to think about.

Just because you cannot think out of the box doesnt mean you have to stay on the straight line. Lines bend and move, its all in the eye of the beholder.

EscortBiz:

Here is some shit which i know worked for others.

When they ask you what you're selling say DVDS. dont directly answer anything which will lead into the porn biz. When they ask you questions which try to feed into their trap to find out KIND of dvds you're selling dance around it like it isnt p0rn ;)

Next, if you're really serious, Create two different websites, one with Mainstream DVDS and one with Adult DVDS. You report your mainstream DVD site as the site people will order off of and there will be no p0rn.

Then you create your adult DVD Site and tie it into the mainstream sites's ordering system, so that they're one in the same. For all that anyone cares you will be selling the DVDS from http://blahdvd.com, that is the URL to brand everywhere, then you sell the adult shit off http://adultblahdvd.com which will also use the branding of blahdvd.com

Dont link to http://adultblahdvd.com from http://blahdvd.com as tempting as it might be.


1) this will solve your CC merchant account, but still let them know you're doing a mail order type of biz because there will be CB's.

2) IF anyone should ever happen to see the billing discriptor they will see the nonadult DVD site and not the p0rn website, so you will also avoid the idiots charging back because theyir wife saw blackdickdvd.com on your CC Bill.


Take the advice for what its worth.

On a side note, if you want i have a dvd site(s) with a huge database, roughly 10,000 adult DVDS and over 20,000 non adult DVDS i wouldnt mind letting go of for some coin.

Shocking. An adult webmaster telling someone how to cheat the credit card system.

And you wonder why the fuck the associations are coming down on this industry?

No woodman, it's an immature webmaster attempting to tell someone their idea of how to cheat the system, one that is guaranteed to get the perpetrator into trouble since one of the primary rules in cc processing is that the MCC code has to match the processed product or service.

Authorize.net is not saying in their terms that they have to find the dvds to be obscene, they are saying ANYTHING adult related, AS WELL AS anything they dont like the context of, is not allowed.

Of course if notjoe understood that a semi-colon does not mean OR, he would be better off than he is now.

And notjoe, as for you making fun of me, go right ahead, there's nothing about me that is half as funny as the way you think your brain works.

Ok got my merchant account, thanks to mitch erin and karen from netbilling and their contacts also thenks to melonie and bill.

Thanks!

:)

Yea and they'll charge you for holding your money on top of it.
