Thank you playboy for confirming what I already knew! I know you don't need 1000 sign ups a day or 50,000 form hits to see a pattern like this! Any webmaster who monitors their stats is well within their right to observe a bizarre pattern and post about it.
I have observed this for years. I have always felt like we could do better with someone like netbilling who allows you to set your own scrubbing, however getting set up with a company like that is difficult unless you have 20,000 a month in sales.
I remember them telling me a while back to get your ccbill sales up to 20,000 a month and we can do business! I was like If ccbill didn't scrub so hard and decline so much maybe I could get my ccbill sales up! Go Figure
The reason I posted the percentage numbers is because if you analyze stuff like that then the stats pretty much let the cat out of the bag. 42% submissions one day, next day 4% submissions on same traffic while other processors have a flurry of signups and ccbill is null.
Then next day ccbill submission % is back to where it normally is, while other backup processors are flat.
I have also read similar threads over the years and the outcome is the same someone, comes in from ccbill asks for your id# and assures you that they would never do anything to reject sales.
So if its not intentional then it could be a glitch. Whatever it is it is a real phenomenon that many have observed.
