Off the top of my head I can count ten companies in the last three years that have done nothing but rip the surfers for as much as they can, figuring they will deal with the chargebacks later.
They burn thru merchant accounts, they import databases into other merchant accounts and perhaps don't bother to clean the known cancels and cbs out of those dbs before the import, then the rack up another huge set of cb's and lose another merch acct and the vicious cycle keeps right on going.
Maybe you people don't quite understand it -- Visa is not a big bad wolf. Visa (and MC) is made up of groups of member banks. Banks which are sick and fucking tired, and rightfully so, of picking up the tab for bullshit that happens over and over. These accounts are like drug addicts -- they always claim they'll stop but then the lure of the dope is too much so they do it again.
Who suffers? Everyone in the end. It doesn't make fuck all at this point whether you did anything wrong or not -- you can thank some of your sponsors for your grief, since THEY are the ones that caused it.
Surfers suck too, but a guy who deceitfully charges back 8 months of a membership because his wife caught him is NOTHING compared to a scheming site owner who causes thousands of needless chargebacks and nothing but headaches for the banking system.
