KK,
that statement is wrong, a merchant account can be obtained for under $250-300.
Which is much less then $750.
Not to mention
a) with a merchant account your percentages are only 3% & SETUP FEE is only $300
IMHO, the 3rd party BUSINESS is dead, there is no reason to use 3rd parties anymore.
The usual reasons were:
a) $0 setup (for small sites)
b) Foreign business who can't obtain merchant accounts
c) Customer support ?
Now, both perks are gone.
EPOCH, CCBILL, IBILL:
You guys forgot to tell us webmasters that there is no reason to process with you guys anymore other then customer service.
You can get everything and more with a merchant account for less then $300 and only 3% instead of 15%
I'm no way affiliated but heres a few sites you guys can visit:

Or call netbilling.com
Most of them have adult merchant accounts and the percentage is only 3-4% and setup fee is ONLY $300.

The real reason of these new policies were not to hurt the adult industry, but to KILL the 3rd party business. They do not want any 3rd parties in between. The only business 3rd parties are going to get now is OLD business who do not want to change.
The law has been laid down.
