CCBILL .. check out this pattern.. call me crazy :)
 

18 hours with not even a single sale and then the sales starts comming in like insane.. there is no way in hell this is a normal thing.. we ONLY see this kinda behaviour with CCBILL..

We had no server problems in those 18 hours and all other sponsor sales were normal...

These new sales are all a good mix from different sponsors .. so no "big paid spot" starting off or something...

This has been brought up time and time again by various people and I have yet to see a real response... Or maybe I missed one.

it was a "solar flare" :food-smil

I was thinking the same thing, this isnt the first time i've seen this.

tough luck?

Yep.. Solar flare indeed.

Why not compare with the actual stats and let us know what you see?

Actually I know sometimes they batch shit up... So if the 18 hour hole is followed by a large number of unusual signups, then it's probably just the batching.

I have brought this up a lot...

A few times I got really loud and others got on the band wagon and suddenly CCBILL said their was a problem and signups came pouring in...

But mostly they denied there was a problem and did a test signup... Great... Like it started working again, what is a test going to prove now? Do that shit WHEN the signups aren't coming in...

yet anytime anybody does a test sale, it comes through

ccbill isn't the only company to do that. - nothing wrong with it either. just the nature of the game.

amazing how some people freak out though. shows how dumb they really are.


batching isn't always he processor's fault either - often it's cause of a delay on visa's side or the bank's side.

best way to know if there's a probelm is to look at stats week to week - not hour to hour.

:2 cents:

We notice this all the time with not just ccbill....

Do you remember the old thread, where you posted the ccbill test? To prove they track every sale properly. Not 1 sale got lost, everything was fine. It was more than a year ago, I think, thats why I can't search for it. :)

I have the same thing happen from time to time with my other billing companies. Not often mind you, but a few times a month maybe. I personally think it has to do with the mail server.

I will have a lull in the day, and then next thing you know, BAM, a bunch of sales. Sometimes same company/site, sometimes different one's.

But maybe you are referring to their control panel, not e-mail notifications?

:Oh crap

Try and search the board. i remember seeing something like this before here

V_RocKs, what i was referring to was that whenever we had gotten complaints about this issue, the sales 'holes', (in most cases) the minute i hear about it, i pull out my own personal card and click the link and signup, just as a consumer would, in some cases from home, and the transaction goes through and the affiliate gets credit.

biskoppen can verify this

hmm...very very strange. i will have to check into my ccbill records.

Verified

hey man, you have posted this problems numerous times :) Why not try to see if it's better with Epoch? they rock for us :D

Most likely because it's the sponsors that he promotes that use CCBill and not himself.

If it helps, paysite owners see the same thing. Periods of calm, then a flood. Nothing to be worried about. Just updating in batches for whatever reason.
