So all things being equal except one, more money, is what I am pointing out.

In a glutted market with every single margin being critical like TMM said, a few points extra anywhere you can find them is crucial... at least imo.
All I am saying is some people like it simple.
Some like to squeeze every penny they can, and should.
One example is, does netbilling, Figure, Print, Mail your affiliate checks? A stamp alone depending on membership price, can be 1-2%.

The people I seen go out of business, did not know how to handle chargebacks, and when you get hit with those, the fines and such, ouch. Can the still be there with CCBILL, yeah.

Some companies just did not take in account all the extras that you have to pay for with you own merchant account. These companies, also do not take advantage of Emails, member area sales, crosses and so on.

Just saying, amount of signups are not just one factor to look at for a merchant account.

Honeslty I believe in the multiple cascading, nats or mpa3 with lots of tracking, if done correctly.
