I don't post too much, but maybe this info might help a few non us based webmasters who have got the shitty end of the stick.

I am sure all NON US paysite owners are having a difficult time with the new visa reg's, paying the fees is ok, that does not bother me at all, but the need for a US entity is difficult especially with time contraints presented. And then the issue of possible double taxation is you want to bring profits back.

Anyway, I called my IBILL account manager and she was just going into a meeting about all this, so called her back 1 hour later, she ensured me that " You will only need to pay the reg fees as IBILL is establishing merchant accounts in Australia, as you have an Australian company their will be no need for a US based entity".

Look, I am just passing this info on as it might help somone, I suggest all site owners from Australia (and other non-us countries as they may be doing this for any country where they make enough profit from the webmasters located their? who knows!) call their account manager at IBILL and ASK!

If we can get the same story from many mouths at ibill well maybe we can sleep a little easier.

I have no idea and have not asked ccbill epoch etc... but maybe if you use them you should get on the phone and see what they have to say.

Please post any comments/info you get from your IBILL rep here so we can can all see how it looks.

Good luck,

Merlin.
