Someone should put together a list of all the online adult payment options along with their fees (initial, annual, per transaction, etc) and general pros/cons/requirements so rather than rant about a given processor these guys can simply shop for a different one. There
are options.
Also I think many webmasters confuse the requirements/fees/pressures enacted by Visa and Mastercard as being the fault of the processors, there's a lot of misplaced rage there...

CCBill kind of has me by the balls in that regard. Blah.

I'm in the same boat to a point - the main issue is, are any of the alternatives that much better than CCBill? *Supposedly* they have some upgrades in the works, I may give them thru 3rd Q 2013 before seriously moving towards a change.
But my main problems aren't the fees (that are actually the major CC companies' doing) or the conspiracy theories webmasters use when their low-volumes sites are going thru a low sales cycle. For me it's more the shite-slow dated control panel & backend, and the outdated join forms (which I've been told are being updated as we speak).
