Easy... do a test sign up on your ccbill account and use a master card. The second you enter a master card number a NEW button pops up out of thin air, a much larger button than the one you want them to click on, promoting them to join the site and keep shopping at ccbill (it also loads some cheesy text but you can change that - after you contact them and request it). Being its a much larger button, it looks like the one to click, so you do. Then you will join the site BUT a new page loads with about 10 new site listings on it and unless you have a shit load of ccbill sites, they load other sites in that list that you get ZERO dollars from if someone joins one. In a way it's like an exit page where you get screwed.

Of course, ccbill gets their cut of the sale but the odd part is, the code here is encrypted. Unlike your ccbill code or any other ccbill code you've ever seen, this one is a garbled mess of encryption. My guess is, and it's only a guess, is that it's encrypted because they are getting a cut as an affiliate from those sites. CCbill says they only get their usual fee but if this is the case I don't see the reason for encrypting this area. Maybe someone smarter than me can explain why the only code that is encrypted anywhere, is this one.

Now, if you have 10 ccbill sites, your sites will load here by default. If you have say 3 sites, it will show your 3 sites and then load other sites you get screwed on, should someone join. But if you do have 10, it bumps them off UNTIL the process repeats. At this point, your sites are gone and CCbill loads someone else's sites, and you're screwed again.

Anyway, that's just the way they do it. I still use them and consider it part of the ass fucking along with the 14.5%. Though, I use them as a CCbill option only for those who feel more comfortable using them.

It's just a clever way to skim your traffic and they earn a few bucks here and there on the side. It ONLY happens on master card sales. NOT visa. CCbill told me master card makes them do it, which of course is bull shit, but if you want to use them you play by their rules. I've learned the hard way that when you buck a processor, they buck back and freeze your account. I've been told this is an old issue and many know about it and have been for a while, so this is why it's not discussed anymore. A dead horse. Either way, I still use them for those who want a CCbill only option.
