Is there any truth to this, or is this misinformation?



Thanks BV. The information above was actually told to me by a representative at one of the non-CCBill payment processors I've been communicating with, so your response is very interesting.

I would rather not pay $750 for another processor, but if I do add another biller they would have to work with my upcoming CCBill affiliate program, so Epoch and/or SegPay seem to be the only options.

I will say this; around 3 weeks ago I removed a second billing option from my join page, based upon the recent credibility of that processor (not Epoch or SegPay). With ONLY CCBill on my join page, sales have dropped over 25% since then, with no other changes whatsoever, so it is easy to believe a second biller is important, but from the replies on this thread, that does not seem to be the case. Still a mystery regarding the past 3 weeks however, so I am left scratching my head.
Probably just a trend, sales go up and down, lately more down, and there is no way to say nothing has changed. Think about it. It has changed. You don't have the same surfers hitting your site every day, it's a revolving door of new surfers and a constant volatile changing economy day by day.
