then another ccbill rep comes in gfy and apologizes for the other ccbill reps bad information, and suggests that a 200% join form submission percentage is certainly accurate.
Did you know that you could submit a join form with 2 different bogus names and get a decline message that says..."you currently have a subscription and are unable to sign up"
Did you also know that you can submit a join form that is not filled out completely and get two different results.
If you are a ccbill rep and you submit a form that is incomplete you get a prompt saying please fill out the rest of form before transaction can be submitted...
however if you are me and you submit a form that is incomplete it gets processed and a decline error like this...."declined by bank...please use another card"

Definitely some odd things going on, maybe behind the scenes or on the backend. CCBill has been implementing "Beta", their new Admin, so maybe this is why certain percentages/reports have been screwy lately. I honestly don't kow and have no way of ever finding out. LOL
CCBill is a fine company, I keep saying that because it is true. But there are other "fine companies" out there that, either along with or instead of CCBill, may be a better match for you. This is how I am thinking since my #1 issue with CCBill is that no matter WHAT I seem to do - more traffic, more websites, etc etc - my overall transactions (sales and rebills) and REVENUE (THE most important number) remain shockingly, surprisingly, "the same" week after week for a couple months now. Now growth, no decline, just steady, steady averages. Now, believe you me, I am grateful for the consistency in these inconsistent and uncertain times! But I am trying to GROW my biz, not maintain "status quo" and this is the main and major (current) frustration.
Having said all of the above, I have 2 new websites a-cummin' in the next few weeks so this "plateau" will break out of itself by summertime.
As Teencat says: Hope your sales are good for everyone and your sites are doing okey dokey goodie!" Or whatever he says (love that guy).

My experience is that when you're only doing like 20-40 sales a day the pattern can from time to time show some no-sales-holes that seem quite strange.. but every single time I tried to make a test sign up - or got someone else to do it.. it worked just fine. And trust me, I've been doing ALOT of these test signups..
I've seen 20 sales in 3 hours and 0 sales in the next 3 hours.. over and over again..
That being said.. when my traffic is up there.. when I buy a shitload of traffic.. I have been pulling everywhere from 200 to 1000 sales a day.. and when you have that number of sales, there are no holes to been seen.. there might be peaks and stuff, but no holes at all.
I think this is just how patterns are..

Congrats on the 200-1000 sales A DAY there dude! LOL Depending on price points I'd say if you were doing those numbers anywhere near consistently then you'd be an Owner of GFY. :D Anyway, congrats - and the point here is: HOW can I (or anyone else for that matter) GROW from 20-40 sales daily TO 200-1000 sales daily when we're dealing with the issues in this thread. Can it be done? Oh sure, and I WILL do it. LOL Just would like some cooperation in terms of understanding these patterns simply so I can "adapt or die" (make adjustments).
I don't feel like I'm asking for the Moon here folks.
