I've been thinking about this Visa shit all day and trying to see it from both sides, but I have to say, the more I think about it, the more it sucks.

First, isn't this the REASON we go through these 3rd party processors? To avoid paying these fees and filling out all these forms giving Visa all of our information? If I wanted to do all that, I would've gone out and got myself a merchant account and bypassed the processors in the first place. So, I have to ask, what the fuck am I paying the processor for again now?

Second, since I now have to give my information to Visa and pay these fucking *membership fees* or whatever they're calling it, why stop there? Why not have all the TGPs and freesites and gallery makers fill out all the fucking forms and pay the fees too? Have Visa approve those urls as well. Make sure they are established in the US as well. After all, they ARE selling the sites are they not?

Will Visa go this many levels deep or are they content with simply fucking over the site owners?

It's looking more and more like Visa and these processing companies are in bed together far more than we know.

Globill is, so far, the only company in my opinion making ANY sense here whatsoever. And I think I'll either switch to Globill or seek my own solution.

Thoughts?
