The doom day is coming... no CC at all for adult...
 

?It?s reasonable to expect that, on the long term, credit card processing for adult sites will no longer be viable,? said Hutchison, adding that some researchers believe credit card e-commerce might become extinct in the future.

Hmmm... hmmm... there is always the solution, I believe as long as I breath :Graucho

Its from Xbiz... what you think? Will Bush or Kerry be the next or Arnold at some day? I dont care as long as money comes in ... but read... that article might have some interesting points.

fear not.

exactly :thumbsup

opayment via your cell phone, its the way forward! its something we all have and easy to work. Doing quite well in the UK right now

Yes at least in europe SMS payments will be the future... actually already reality. But what's it in the USA? Interesting to see... or CC as usually ? really interesting times already & coming. Nice business :)

There are some Swedish adult communities already doing SMS billing with success.

They don't do recurring but since it's simple and anonymous people keep signing up when the memberships expires.

I think that'll work out great once it hits the big market!

Sure, you can always get people to pay in some other method but the re-bills will go way down. With CCs many people just forget to cancel.

Actually recurring SMS billing is reality currently at Finland, Im running one pilot project and very promising results. Sure SMS billing will be the big thing in EU and Asia- just wondering why not as well as USA?

CCs are nice, but I guess that prepaid cards will never work in large scale as porn is quite implusive buying decission... so if cc is not possible, you might have your cell phone nearby:Graucho

But sure im very amazed if cc or at leasty visa will really be really 100% out of adult.

If you aren't already positioning yourself for that possibility you're behind the eight ball.

Always plan your long range business strategies with every potential obstacle in mind.

I have purchased a large warehouse so we can start accepting Coke bottles if necessary

no more cc whatsoever for adult online would be GOOD thing

how are you going to bill people ? DIALERS ;)

bring back the good ol days !

I haven't had a dialup modem in my PC for years:glugglug

:1orglaugh

I think porn is dirty anyway, so I don't buy it.

p.s. check out my latest site! :Graucho

Nice! :1orglaugh

I think that Visa is going to fight behind closed doors to keep processing for adult.

Imagine how much they stand to loose.

Somewhere in the BILLIONS! per year.

sure thing 1 in 4 VISA transactions is porn based, all my hookers accept VISA.

it would be stupid. ecommerce would be much better today if the credit card companies got off their ass and done the things they should to make online transactions secure.

hell, more people would be comfortable using credit cards if they were more secure at brick and mortor stores as well. can't believe execs at visa and mastercard can't figure that out for themselves

if you cover your eyes, all your problems vanish

Fortunately many people are one step ahead of the game.

DUOCASH.com will be there the moment cc cards are no longer accepted for adult materials.

Already nationwide duocash offers the ability to process your clients using an already existing network of pre-loaded credit type cards that is not associated with visa or mastercard. Anonymous and simple.

I suggest those that are concerned to check them out. Easily implemented into any pre-existing cascade.

Just remember before people panic. People will always want porn, so who processes those customers doesn't matter. There will always be people buying porn.

this is a good post :thumbsup

how would u deal/fair with strictly ach processing?

we must hope that their will be a solutiion for it.:)

hey, a membership is only $4.95 for a lifetime membership. The minimum CRV is about $.10, so figure anyone can collect 50 Coke bottles, I just need a place to store them
