OK VGeorgie, I will rephrase then.
There is something wrong at CCBill, whether it is the scrub or a system that was never meant to handle the sheer volume of consumer, affiliates and sites, or whatever, but with this many ppl saying something is screwed there has to be something going on.

AGREED. We have been with CCBill for 6-7 years now. Sales are good and support is perfect. Even better, our end users trust CCBill so repeat sales are a snap. Any newbies bitching at CCBill would do justice to their own business to look for other reasons why sales may be slower than expected.

Another thing are all these ppl that are complaining sending traffic through NATs or whatever or are they using the CCBill links and non refferer links. If it is the latter then the answer is obvious, if that isn't the case then you are back at square one.

Second, I also have a mainstream business where I take credit cards. I have a telephone terminal for manually processing the cards. I'd say 1 in 5 or so times the call doesn't go through. The computer just doesn't pick up. About 1 in 10 I'll get other responses, like "unable to reach host" or "Service busy," or a bunch of other things. (Note that my merchant account is not processed through CCBill. I use an outfit called Elavon, used to be Nova.) When a processor authorizes a credit card there are a lot of organizations involved, including the cardholder's bank. If any one of these outfitrs is temporarily unavailable then the charge won't go through. I have the benefit of trying again in 10-15 minutes, but CCBill does not. Either that or it's the effects of Nibiru, which is coming in 2012. So you really only have to keep your Web site going until then. Prepare a sacrifice to Marduk. It might help. |

No one complained about CCBill then because people were still buying things. I regularly had $800-900 days, and once a week had $1500 days. Not bad for a one-person site and only internal organic traffic. Maybe CCBill has turned up a scrub setting, though I'm not getting that in the denial emails I review. I DO believe they are processing the same or even fewer sites than two years ago. That leaves two things: 1. Consumers aren't spending because they don't have the money. That's MY situation, so why wouldn't it be for other people too? I'm eating in tonight because I can't afford McDonald's. 2. The banks are tightening up. This worry keeps me awake at night. Wife and I tried to get a few thousand additional credit line so we could redo a bathroom. Got turned down, despite never being late on a payment, and having the card for some 20 years. Bank rep apologized, and said it was the result of the current economy. Banks are being more careful. BUT... I do agree we shouldn't blindly assume everything is okay at CCBill. My first post on this talked about manually reviewing data and inspecting our accounts. That only makes sense, and I think we should all be mindful of watching over out respective castles. |

Since you have a merchant account, and you appear to be doing volume, why not ask that they carry your high risk business? I don't do enough volume to justify it, but you could be saving yourself a ton of money, and cut out CCBill altogether. |

As for having my own high risk account, Sterling won't do high risk, I have asked. But on the same token, when have your own high risk internet merchant account there is a ton of stuff you have to do that doesn't ever come up with a mainstream brick and mortar account. To much hassle. But seriously, I would look at a new merchant processor if you are having these kind of issues, I have never heard of that many problems with getting transactions thru.

Yes, its mainly the 2 things he mentioned. Tubes don't have much to do with bank denials and surfers spending less on porn. But keep blaming them for your bad sales, if that helps you.

Since I monitor all the declines, I'm not seeing a lot due to scrub or bank refusal. So, at least for me, if my sales are down right now, it's A) the economy, B) me. I don't see how switching processors is going to help in this case. I'll be keeping an eye out for strange CCBill behavior, but unless they are suppressing the scrub emails, then people just aren't hitting the Buy Now button. If CCBill IS suppressing scrub emails, then that's clearly fraudulent. I'm NOT calling fraud, just pointing out that would be a serious breach of ethics, and likely actionable legally, up to and including some nasty class action lawsuits. For this reason, I doubt they are doing it. There's no reason for them to take that massive amount of business risk, so about the only thing remaining is 10 people wanted to sign up to my site yesterday and did, and so far only two people wanted to today. Why the huge difference?? Don't have a clue. BTW, the site in your sig is getting flagged by Firefox as a "Reported Attack Site." Google has it on its Shit List, as well. Safe browsing tool shows the site as not currently suspicious, but says "Of the 844 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 8 page(s) resulted in malicious software". The Shit List warning is still on the Google page listings, and Firefox is still blocking access. |

I noticed something else the other day... we get on average 1-2 telephone sales per week - they are basically non-existent, we had a poor credit card sales day on friday but 4 telephone sales in 1 day - that is unheard of in our entire history... what does that say?? my theory is people were struggling to signup and take the telephone route to pay as a last resort as they get fed up - anyone else ever experienced this?

I'v had a thought that perhaps is not helping matters too..its a long shot and not saying this is the main course for lack of signups...
Recently banks have upped their security checks when you make a purchase online, and will use myself as a example, say I order a domino pizza onlne, after submitting the order I will get a page come up with my bank logo (the visa verified thing which has been about a while now) and enter my password that I used to login to my online banking to complete the transaction, thing is I have never signed up to a ccbill site so don't know if a surfer gets this with ccbill or does it depend on the surfers bank/cc card and will always get that verify page up regardless of what or where hes buying? so wondering if thats the case, you are getting the click to form show up in your stats but no signup... The other thing my bank does now, if I made a few online transaction in a short period, I get a phone call asking if I can verify that it was me that made those transactions, and they rattle off the list of last 5 transation names that appear on my statements...just wondering what would happened if I said no (when it was me) and ask to be rufunded for it? hence giving someone a chargeback on that transaction? not saying this is the problem but add it to how things are going its not boding well... |

this is what i see:
The previous years and usually i had nearly the same amount of sales as now. There was just a tiny difference: From time to time instead of having a 1 or 2 new sales per day, i had 4 to 7 sales per day, without a correlated traffic (it was pretty frequent). I suppose here that some transactions were checked and added to the stats. The problem is that it don't happens anymore. So what could happend ? I bet that these transactions are now .... declined ? |
