Why Paypal only accepts Epoch and not accept CCBill?
 

Paypal made a deal with Epoch but why they don't make a deal with CCBill too?

CCBill is also one of the best risk processor in the world like epoch. However paypal only accepts their pilot program for epoch..

Thats strange...

I think it's just a test

So?

When the test has been completed will they be accept other processors too?

Depends on their reputation

Maybe it's because ccbill is known as an adult processer

Most possible next biller is: CCBill or Segpay etc..?

But... Epoch is known as an adult processor too..

It's not a test. You are left in 2014.

CCBill rocks.

Epoch's management = Smart, CCBill's etc. = Not so much.:2 cents:

Akin to in the old times , where one transport business made a deal with an automobile company to carry passangers. And the others??? Why should we, we have the best horses in the land, they rock !

Im pushing some adult program with paypal as payment option and i tell you I make three times or so more sales, I guess people see they can have more control using pp to avoid extra charges in their cc or recurring charges, they trust more paypal, I hope more programs would use it

I'm just taking a guess, but I think Epoch was able to make the deal with Paypal by taking on 100% of the risk. Just a theory of course. I would assume that if this works for Paypal they may start working with other payment processors too, but I would guess that Epoch's agreement with Paypal would stop them from doing this. Just a theory again. Regardless, Epoch's deal with Paypal is epic.

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

:2 cents::2 cents: I agree.

Wake up and smell the roses :) It was a test 18 months ago... Its now done deal....:thumbsup

Good theory and probably true, but why the others did not do the same thing??? The increase in business surely beats a few crooks:2 cents: I have talked to a few around here and they are not even trying.... Anyway "why buy a jet plane when you are using the best propellers":error

no genius people don't like to give cc its bigger risk :2 cents:

Maybe its a provision that Epoch put into the agreement? If Epoch is going to assume the risk, they might tell Paypal they cannot make the same or similar deal with any other billing providers.

If you think about it, it's a big win for Paypal. They can to enjoy the revenues from adult businesses while keeping adult at arms-length too. In this deal, Paypal may have no risk at all. So signing an exclusive deal with Epoch would make sense with them.

I'm also guessing there's a time-limit on the agreement. Maybe after a few years, the agreement expires and then Paypal would be free to explore the possibility with other providers too.

Still - great deal for everyone. I'm impressed.

All good points.....but if you ask somebody in CCBill management, they are even do not know that Epoch has PP... Go figure:thumbsup

We have been following it very closely and PayPal is aware of our interest. Hopefully soon they open it up for others to offer. If they gave us the API today, we would have it connected within the hour.

Because Epoch owner drives Tesla.

Jason, if you score paypal you will get a bottle of one of the best Brunellos ( maybe 2006 Conti Costanti) from my cellar and a steak dinner on me anywhere in the world ( even in Amsterdam) yes on me !!!! Its time to knock of this Epoch monopoly :thumbsup:thumbsup

Note this in your diary and collect, but if you are too slow you may get only a Rosso di Moltancino ( because by then I would have drank the Brunello).... The steak dinner is still on until the end of 2016...

So do you want to take this challenge ???:)

It is noted! :winkwink:

The problem is PayPal... I am not sure why they are so reluctant as of yet to open it up to the rest of the market, but the ball is in motion. :2 cents:

That would be great news.

Somewhat recent changes to policies at PayPal forced that payment processor to abandon the majority of high-risk merchant accounts they serviced, and their collaboration with Epoch is an effort to regain the business lost from those policy changes. May be with other processors too..

Well, and why does PayPal not accept using their system for Porn in general? See the terms and conditions ..............

So Epoch having an contract with them, is definitely an infringement of competition law as they give Epoch and their customers a competitive advantage. I sent Paypal a letter what they didn't even answer!!

A big company with the force and money should go to court regarding this matter!

Eve

Thats true. They did gave a competitive advantage to epoch only.

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup

If it's not still in test mode, then why have they not yet either rolled it out to CCBill and the rest, or pulled the service altogether? Unless of course they are going to buy Epoch

Because you touch yourself

When it comes to porn there are no "competition laws", since if you go to court everyone says porn should not exist.

Good info! Thanks! :thumbsup

Not quite, they built their initial business on porn and then when they got big they "discovered Jesus" . Now "Jesus" is not paying as much as before , so they sneaking back in. I guess the rocket business is not paying as much or the Tesla electric car or whatever else they are wasting money on:thumbsup

You are on :thumbsup

We do not want problems, we want solutions, the consolation prize for more problems is a bottle of Lidl Riesling :1orglaugh::1orglaugh

I was told that paypal joins = many chargebacks.

I'm thirsty! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Couldn't be no where near as many as CCBill allows.

I haven't heard much about it but I think it's reasonable to assume that Epoch is using Paypal as more or less of a gateway with it's own MIDS, greatly reducing Paypal's liability for direct transactions, and as far as indirect transactions from the customer's balance, I am sure Epoch is taking 100% of the responsibility.

I don't know why they don't do CCbill too, but if they did the question would be "why not segpay then, why not Zombaio, why not fuckyoubill and flybynightpay too? The whole idea of a test is that it's with limited participants.

But the real issue is this hipocrisy of payment processors trying to limit the content their users can consume is getting thinner by the day and it won't last much longer.

We'll either be living in a muslim world where bacon and porn are punishable by death, or we'll be in a free world where bacon and porn are required to prove you aren't a terrorist. - OK that's obvious sarcasm but I think it's high time mainstream payment processors wake up to the fact that wankers gonna wank and start getting paid for it.

Not to be anal about it... But just looking here on this forum( for example) on Zombiao issues... It is clear that it is: Epoch,Verotel, CCbill who are the "gradfathers" of the industry and should have PP without a big hassle from PP, the other should prove their "bonafides" to PP first.

Bullshit, we should all have direct access to Paypal. High risk my ass. There are more and bigger scammers in mainstream and 99% of them use Paypal.

Paypal is open to terrorist fuckheads, 409 scammers and Chinese counterfeiters, but show some nipples and you're moved to the back of the bus. Fuck that, and fuck Paypal.

Just checked some of my Paypal joins, I think it depends if they like the site or not

...maybe...just MAYBE...ask PayPal, not us here on GFY...LOL!
{How the fuck would we know???} :2 cents:

The guy at Verotel surely has higher connections than [email protected], so it does make sense to ask here

For those of you using Paypal now, how are the conversions, chargebacks and what are the fees like as opposed to Paypal direct? NETbilling would certainly add this if we have the opportunity unless it isn't working well. I have heard mixed reviews thus far.

Thanks, Mitch

I am actually agreeing with you, indeed PayPal and others should not be allowed to discriminate against a legal business....However, short of a class action suit by all of us adult webmasters to force PP to treat us as any other business and winning it, then we should start with that : " we do not process adult" ( high risk or not) ... This should be the same as : "we do not serve gays" or " no Jews allowed"...., it is discrimination, censorship whatever you want to call it.

Then the excuse is "well look at all these adult processors they are crooks" and partially they are right...I went trhu at least 4 of them who shut thier doors overnight and stuck me for thousands, hence my reference to Zombiao ( a likely candidate) so using Epoch,Verotel and CCbill was my way of suggesting that this excuse does not hold watter....and once they have it all other legit processors will follow.

One more comment: I do not believe that PP would ever allow individuals to buy porn from websites or websites using PP to sell to individuals ( as in the past)....America is too fucked up for that : "lets ban nipples but it is OK for a jihhadi to buy AK 47....":2 cents:

I'm curious why Epoch doesn't introduce Paypal affiliate payouts

Any comments?

I have stated that clearly... i had PP in 2009 for about 3 months ( did not realize they do not do adult...FYI my site are individual movies ...many playing Sky,HBO and even Turner...go figure).... But they are soft erotic and one morning my PP was gone. When I introduced PP the sales went up at least 5 fold, once they killed me it went down about the same amount.

I hate these fuckers but hey,business is business...:2 cents:

fyi I have 0 chargebacks... In over 30,000 transactions we had about 4 chargebacks ( two were crooks, one appogized since he could not figure out how to download. ONLY one was " real" since he thought when he bought the movie it was educational documentary about lesbians in prison, and he was disappointed because if was "chicks in chains" movie. My guess his wife caught him....) So high risk..my ass !!
