Just because you get alot of steady traffic does not mean you will get alot of steady sales. And more so, just because you get less sales today than you did yesterday does not mean it has anything to do with the billing company that you use.

There are dozens if not hundreds of factors that add up to a purchase. Just a few of these factors might be these: Is the customer interested in buying? Buying Today? Buying right now? Does he have a credit card? Does he have room on his card? Has he made chargebacks in the past? (If so, how many?)? Is his wife around? Is he horny? Is he thinking about enjoying free content on tubes instead of paying for it on yours? Is his computer working well? Is his chair comfortable? Can he afford this? Is he considering clicking an ad for a competitor? Is he lost in pop-up hell? Is he drunk? Stoned? Etc etc etc.

Suspecting billing companies especially CCBill and dragging it out into a public arena is ridiculous and makes people who do look amateur when there are so many other things to consider.

If you think you're losing sales to scrubs, ask your biller if the scrub level can be adjusted for you. If not, cascade. If the cascading biller creates a new problem for you, find another biller or write some software to help you. ADAPT!

If you can't do any of the above, CONTACT YOUR REP at your billing company and talk to him. Trust me it is in their best interest to work with you, not against you. Constructing conspiracy theories and presenting suspicions as if they are facts is not the way to get to the actual root of the problem.
