Do some niches have more chargebacks than others?
 

I have 2 sites out now, one ethnic and one anal, and one of them already has a chargeback, but the other one has more members and hasnt had a cb yet.

so I wonder do certain niches have more chargebacks than other ones?

i get so many bounced checks on ghetto gaggers. So much so that i actually started doing something about it. So I would put them on my buddy list if they were an aol member and to find out almost all the beat checks were from african americans.
one guy said "what do you expect, i'm black"
another said, "why do i have to pay for it yo if i be getsin it foe free."
I shit you not, thats verbadem, and not trying to throw the race card either. Ghetto gaggers has more returned checks than my other sites.

why do you offer the check option then?

I have toyed with it both ways. we make more money with checks.

my cc sales dropped when I added checks...so it was not worth to keep them

Same here we dropped checks years ago after trying all options. Globill had the only check option that worked 100% and sadly they are no more..

We had checks for a while, but droppedn them, because it is heart breaking to see x number of rebills, and then 3 days later, X number did NOT rebill because of lack of funds.

heh too many thoose days :)
