CCBILL and Epoch should charge less, 14.5% is ridiculous in my opinion, they get away with it because they know the majority of their clients are mom and pop operations who can't or don't want to get their own merchant account and run their own affiliate program software - so no reason for them to drop their fees a couple points. The 5% holdback is another money grab, we know it's not necessary because Epoch has survived and thrived without it.

CCBILL does have features that are meant to make more money for their clients and themselves - access to your customer emails you can mail to, cross-sales, and one click upsells/upgrades. The one click upsells, both to the clients other sites or sites owned by other processed by CCBILL should be much much easier to implement, most CCBILL clients I know don't do it simply because they don't know how.
