I have to look into the "pre-auth" decline issue a bit more, honestly. All I know is when I get one of those emails from CCBill, and then I check the Epoch stats, I do not usually see a form hit, which indicates to me the attempted sale has cascaded.

As for forms: I went back-and-forth with CCBill to get a custom form created for months. We finally settled on one that I think is awesome, and has increased sales overall by upwards of 30%. I tried using the "standard" form you described, as close as I could, but sales were not as good as the forms I have now. But basically yes, how a form looks/feels is really crucial.

And i suggest that anyone using CCBill look into how their forms are converting for them, A/B test them as best you can, and try and streamline/simplify the forms as much as possible. I can attest that CCBill is really helpful when it comes to forms and designs and will totally work with you to improve things.
