3) Any alternatives to the $750/site, even if the percentages are higher that I have to pay for processing?
4) I paid the $750 Visa bullshit with one site already .. do I just need to do that once, or is it PER SITE? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding that part.
You can probably see where I am going with this: I want to pay as little as possible PER SITE for processing.

Regarding 2,3 and 4. It is a yearly fee which is $750 the first year (I think) then is less each year after with CCBill. And it is per merchant account, not per site.
Now you say NATS so you have current affiliates or expect to get some. So I highly recommend you at least talk with this guy Marco from sliiing.com. Here is what I recommend you do:
Get a sliiing account and pay the $750 for CCBill (maybe you already did) which is good for every site under that account. Also signup for zombaio which I think is still free to get started.
Then, put CCBill as your primary (If you have the affiliates to justify doing so) and if ccbill fails it redirects back to a failed landing page on your server which then gives them the option to pay via zombaio. This is necessary because sliiing can then track that sale and give the affiliate the credit.
Basically, sliiing will track any sale, to any processor, and displays for you and the affiliate in an easy to follow merchant and affiliate login page. CCBill still pays the affiliates, you pay the affiliates on other sales. Affiliates will always signup with CCBill affiliate code and is the only code they will ever need.
Hope that helps you a bit.
