Can't find a payment processor!
 

I run a site that contains tips, reports and reviews on sexual services around the world (escorts, massage parlors, brothels, etc). Although it's relatively new site it attracts a number of visitors -- a few million in the last couple of months with no promotional effort on my part, almost all repeats and organic search engine traffic.

Here's my problem. I want to create a membership program that would allow access to more info and content than I post on the free site now. I have a few dozen people who have already pledged to sign up, and some have asked me several times what the hold up is.

The hold up is that I can't find a payment processor. PayPal and WePay are obviously out. CCBill requires $1000 down to accept Visa and Mastercard payments (I could do that pretty easily but I don't want to pony up all that cash on something that's untested -- that would eat 2 months affiliate sales proceeds at least).

I've looked at every payment processor I can find, but nothing seems to fit. Anyone have advice?

Thanks chosen. Seems all of those require the $1000 deposit too. I guess it's a US thing for high risk sites. I was looking for something easy to sign up with that could process payment quickly like Paypal. Guess it doesn't exist for adult content.:disgust

Samsonite, you can always try Zambio. But as you suggest Visa and Mastercard all require a downpayment so no matter what processor you use, if you accept those you are going to have to pay up. Trust me.. I know, I've looked high and low.

heard good things about Zambio

Where would I find Zambio? A google search turns up nothing under that name and Zambio dot com is for sale.
