Major sponsors on the Visa watch list
 

NetRodent posted some info so I did some checking to see what came up. If the tell is ISPS * SITE vs SITE * ISPS on the billing indicator.

Sponsors that seem ok:
PlatinumBucks, TopBucks, SilverCash, Python, Pornkings, Flashcash, MaxCash
examples:
PAYCOM.NET *WBSITE (pornkings)
PAYCOM.NET *LYDATA (Python)
CCBill.com *Offendale Co (MaxCash)

Sponsors that may not be:
CEN, ARS, WEG
NETMGT *PAYCOM.NET (CEN)
ASKCS.COM *IBILL (ARS)
WEG*Jetchrg.com (WEG)

What does this mean exactly ? If this is an accurate indicator of trouble or anything, what can be done to lower the overall CB ratio ? How much time is given to work in improving this ?

I do not think this is accurate. Also not sure billing descriptors have been changed yet for all offenders.

Thanks for clarifying.

If you don't mind, what about the other questions ? Do you have any ideas on what can be done to help improve this situation at this stage ?

I have asked for an exact copy of the rules several times. Never got a stright up answer. From what I understand, you are on "warning" for 3 months, then you start getting fined, if after 3 more months (total of 6) you are not under 1%, you are done.


Everyone that is over 1% knows why they are over 1%. Buying too many crosses, or deceptive billing in 99% of the cases I bet. It takes months to turn the tide and get under 1%, took us 3 + months to recover from buying cross sells.

Intresting..but speculation

I dont think that is accurate with the billing descriptors..

I heard a lot of peeps are in trouble with this..

fucked up

is any sponsors here actually over the 1% ?

without saying exactly where our percentage is..I can tell you that we are well under the 1% threshold and will remain there.

I doubt they would admit it if they were :)

good to hear bro.

hopefully others are in good shape and have plans in motion too.

Python rocks. :2 cents:

No cross sales, accurate customer support (never rely on the shitty aggregator's suppor), and no deceptive billing and it's easy to be less than 1%.

I used to have major problems, but it was a result of relying on a 3rd party processor to handle support, as if they can do anything other than say 'would you like a refund'?

I don't understand why people still use them.. they're such a fucking waste. I only use them for recurring/sending enough sales to let the recurs trickle out w/o driving up ratio..

Donnie, are you using your own merchant account(s) ? Who did you get them through ?

1 to 5 dollar programs Brujah is one way.
Another way I think will be to eliminate cross sales.

Yet the faithful Keep a quality site for an affordable price theory is still the strong theory.

Can you get in touch with me on ICQ when you get the chance?
It's 214702014 if you need it.
thanks :)

Good advice thanks

www.credomatic.com is one place..

good advice atho I dont really think IBILL is having any problems they have a bigger bankroll than any other billing company out there.

Have you noticed any sales increases due to less scrubbing?
WG

Yeah..

Thats some interesting Digging up of information.

Platinum Bucks is definately under 1%

Who do you use now for processing and customer service?
