Another iBill? What's up with 365 Billing?
 

Do any of you know what's going on with 365 Billing? I heard that they just lost their US merchant account the other day and are looking for a replacement.

Any news would be a big help as I process with them.

Hmm this is the first I've heard of this. What is your source?

wheres anthony this is a good question

I spoke with Dan directly from 365. He gave me the official word today, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any insider details. I am looking at a few options.

they lost it the other day we had a sale with them yesterday

hmmmmm..

yep.. i heard its gone

I dont understand how these company dont have the common courtesy to let us know whats happening especially when we depend on them for our living.

the sale was probably batched without approval

if true - they're probably trying like hell to convince someone to give them a new account quickly and then run the batches

Wow... Another one down the drain?

Did Dan say if they'll be announcing it to clients?

No - I had to pry the info out of him, although I can say that he is trying very hard to get me setup with my own merchant account (I have a lesbian dating site) and use Jettis as the gateway. As a last resort - he offered to export my rebills to a processor of my choice.

would be interesting to hear from others if they heard anything as I haven't heard anything here.

yikes, say it aint so, I was about to drop $750 a site with them to get VISA approval.

they should be renamed: 180billing

karma is a motherfucker.... inside joke that is not so much of a joke for me....

oh my buddha. while i don't use 365 myself i empathize to any who do and had to find out about this on GFY instead of from them... reminds me a lot of when i found out about paymonde going tits up here instead of in their own admin..

:(

wow... stick with the tried and true: PAYCOM & CCBILL.... jmho

Run your own merchant account. If you want something done right... do it yourself =)

I actually tried switching to 365, my partner suggested against it.

"puts foot in mouth"

god i love my mason =)

Aren't there a bunch of guys who work for 365 that used to work for Ibill?

justin.. sounds like u mason a drink or 2 for that :)

Oh Fuck... I really hope this isn't true :(

My sales are still going through, but I am an EU client.

How agressive were they w/ their cross sales? they had to of fuckered up pretty good

not again pleaseee

Verotel .. talk to Mike over there and tell him i sent you .. he is a great guy and they are doing a great job for me ..

Thanks for the kind words Jake. Anyone looking for alternatives, please hit me up on icq or email me at [email protected].

what the ??
Bump for someone at 365 to reply ...

Thats terrible news. Dan has offered us top notch customer service. I hope he can find a way to fix this.

Hi,

I am sorry that 365 is having problems.
However....

We can setup adult merchant accounts in 3 days and have you ready to go when the account goes live. We have been in business for 9 years. We are the leading merchant services processor in this industry.

Let me know if we may be of assistance.

Thank you, Mitch Farber

What's the reason for their problems?

Dan did say this only affected the US accounts. EU is untouched.

Some kind of news from 365 would be nice at this point

After being fucked by Ibill and Globill years ago I now stick with the oldies like CCbill and Verotel. Sorry to see this happen to good webmasters :(

Mason is a good, smart guy.

Damn, this sounds bad. :(

Oh how nice

news directly from 365 would be usefull....
...and how about eu accounts, untouched? The other times i´ve seen shit like this, nothing has been untouched - but if they can do it, of course thats something.

that stinks

Verotel and CCBill. If you need tangibles, BHE Bill.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Did you say CROOK?!??
 

They learned from Howard Cohen of iMonde

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Interesting news. I'd wait for an announcement before jumping to conclusions though. It may very well be true, but I've learned to be careful what you read on the boards.

I'm not suggesting that 365 is headed down the tubes, but I can say that I have not processed a new sale or rebill in more than 3 days now. The one good thing I can say is that they are working hard to find me an alternative with their partner/parent Jettis. I'm just concerned because as a 365 client, I'm sure I'm not getting the full story and we don't truly know the financial health of the company long-term. I'm just crossing my fingers that this will works its way out in a positive way. :helpme

Whatever the case may be with 365, i may be thinking it's a good thing no one from their office responded to any of my inquiries about using them to process payments for my paysites.

sharky, this is now a verified fact. the 365 guys will not deny it, their announcement will come soon, they are probably preparing it now

the best business advice you'll ever hear is ... DIVERSIFY

ccbill and back it with your OWN merchant account (or two if your volumes justify)!

I just spoke with Jeff the "former" CEO of 365 Billing and he comfirmed it as well. He said that they are working with Inteca to get all monies returned to webmasters over the next few weeks.
