CB Fee: $35-$50
Refund fee: $0-$5

Throw in a couple chargebacks & refunds and you're quickly paying 9%-14% billing costs with your merchant account (assuming you have trials - and the CB, RF & decline numbers are industry standard). A merchant account is *NOT* cheaper than 3rd party on trials. This is a myth, a lie. It doesn't compute. Anything below 15% is good. That's the truth.

I see you in every thread throwing sand into people's eyes like that. Why? What is the purpose of this misinformation?
Chargeback fee is $25 and our chargebacks are less than 1/4 of 1%. Refund fee (30¢) does not happen if there is a chargeback and visa-versa. Not only that but we control our own scrubbing through Netbilling so we get at least 15% better conversions than we ever did with 3rd party processing.

BTW - Our processing rate at the bank is 4.5% and 30¢.

It is not sand. It is the truth. We save money, period!
