Seriously Now: ZOMBAIO - Anyone Tried Them?
 
They've skinned GFY twice, now that ad on the start up page... The same question has been asked countless times before, yet still no one seems to confirm that they'd tried Zombaio and how it went down. Since they keep spending all this money on GFY, has anyone tried them?

tony286 12-15-2008 08:34 PM

its crazy no one comes in and introduces themselves and answers questions. Processing is a big trust.

pornask 12-15-2008 08:36 PM

First introduction they've attempted hasn't gone well for them at all. Jesper (I think that's what his name was) pulled back and I don't think there's been any official introduction attempt #2 from them since. What's the deal with those people...

Big Red Machine 12-15-2008 08:46 PM

as low as 4.9%

Forest 12-15-2008 08:52 PM

whats the over/under on how long they will be around?

That's all I can think of when I hear that name.

Saw the splash and checked them out; looks interesting.

Indeed it does.

Allhdreview - Jasin 12-15-2008 11:54 PM

The only site I've ever come across that uses Zombaio is http://www.saraswirls.com/. Don't know if she posts here tho

Toni 12-16-2008 12:08 AM

I would love to hear about some experiences too

edgeprod 12-16-2008 12:26 AM

Personally, I wish they WOULD come here and establish a relationship with some people .. I've been dying for someone to recommend on a consistent basis ... it gives me a headache to think about how many times I've been asked if I know of a third-party processor for adult that I'd feel comfortable recommending.

That's what I thought they would have done by now already. Seeing them skin GFY twice plus pay for other forms of advertising, I though there would have been a reputable sponsor they'd establish a relationship with so the rest of us have something to work with.

SmokeyTheBear 12-16-2008 01:04 AM

all i know is processors who advertise on gfy are usually ___________

MikeSmoke 12-16-2008 02:19 AM

why not ask rodrigo? he seems to be pretty connected in those circles...

Ah well. I'm still in the "wait and see" mode to find out if that happens .. y'know?

Just Googled some typical join page text and found a few payment based sites who seem to be using them.

cheekycherry 12-16-2008 04:10 AM

Pissing money into the wind...

Just like everybody else in this thread, I need to hear from people that have used them and recommended them.

Without this. You're fucked.

Vin 12-16-2008 04:17 AM

4,9% is very attractive compared to 15% that I've seen from others. I'd like to know why.

Not to be to skeptical, but if they can do it for 10% less then their competition does, they're either lacking something or the competition is stacking up a lot of money. So I'd be keeping a close eye on this thread, as I'm very interested.

So you're looking for them to offer you a job? :)

LOL...that's exactly my thoughts when i read his thread. what's wrong with recommending ccbill, epoch, netbilling, etc...all are good trusted adult processors in my opinion. :2 cents:

biskoppen 12-16-2008 04:50 AM

CCBILL needs to lower their cut! To.. hmmm... maybe 6% ? :)

Why? They have close to no competition, really, and their main competitor has the same rates.

Vin 12-16-2008 05:01 AM

Honestly, can somebody explain why these rates are so high in general ?

Is it really necessary, are there a lot of costs involved ? Or is it just a matter of monopoly possition.

CurrentlySober 12-16-2008 05:16 AM

On a semi humorous side note...

Those of you who were in Amsterdam, at WMA, will have found a pack of breath mints, in their 'goody bag' from Zombaio...

They are in a white box, shaped like a credit card, with the Zombaio logo on them...

Well, when I returned to the UK, I was held up for over an hour at customs while they 'Tested' the breath mints...

Apparently, they thought they were ecstasy !!!

THANKS ZOMBAIO !!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:error

tranza 12-16-2008 05:17 AM

"You can do anything at ZOMBO.COM"

anything?

Vin 12-16-2008 05:26 AM

1. No spamming other boards! We don't spam other boards about GFY. We need the same courtesy!

With it you're often fucked too sadly. Unfortunately most of them are 'stand up guys' until they go under or screw someone. In the case of a processor I'd say longevity is the only true test and they haven't got that yet. :2 cents:

As for the rate if something seems to good to be true....

There were not really many posts about it :( and also all of them were Newbies so hard to say if those even real people.

Vin 12-16-2008 05:48 AM

Could somebody explain the risks of partnering with a company like Zombaio ?

Unfortunately not too familiar with billing etc. I highly doubt they could just disappear to Costa Rica with your (processed) money..

Google iBill then come back.

:O

Vin 12-16-2008 07:06 AM

OK, point made clear :)

So who do you guys recommend ? Our business is Adult Dating.

C4W 12-16-2008 07:13 AM

Main thing is they charge way less and just for that we should be thinking. I like safe and more stabile solotions and quality cost. But a low fee like that wood be nice.

PSSuperstars 12-16-2008 07:19 AM

I still remember my phone ringing after filling out a 3rd party app when I was looking for my phone sex merchant account... and some "steve" in the New England area.. telling me I would never get a merchant account if I wanted to do it the legal eagle way and register as adult.. and that he could change my life for me... Found them through AES... some dude named Arlo kept my $750.

Hmm.. 3 mos later I had 2 adult merchant accounts.

First thing to do is make sure they tell you who the bank is backing the merchant account.. then personally call that bank to inquire if they support high risk..

epochs and ccbills rates have been the same for 10 years, back from the start when you had 20 other processors around, then all the others faded away. i remember when ibill was offering people rates below their cost in order to get the volume they needed. processing, hosting, parachutes is where you want to pay extra for quality, imo.

unless you go all the way with your own merchant account and know what your doing

well, besides iBill you could also search for "Paymonde" on this board - they even disappeared to Canada with the money.

Well, it was Extasy, never felt funny after taking them? :1orglaugh

Vin 12-16-2008 07:33 AM

Sounds like cc processing is truly risky business.

Is there a good place to get some info ?

It's the banks and the processors that have labelled adult as "high risk" simply so that they could charge more for serving the industry.

sue 12-16-2008 08:05 AM

Or for those of us who hav been in the biz for a while, remeber DMR??? I could do a whole lot of fun stuff with the money they owed us......

*hugs and kisses*

But didn't they show up at a show once telling us that we're like 90% of their customer service? Adult?

We have the highest chargebacks... and well, our industry does attract quite a few losers/scam artists... they have to put in those extra little concessions as a result.

People will complain a lot more about "filthy porn" "accidentally" showing up on their cc's..


I hope this Zombaio place is legit though :) Anyone find out what banks they're most using?

That's the key.. what banking relationship have they started?

WiredGuy 12-16-2008 10:13 AM

Since its clear public relations isn't their forte, that should tell you quite a bit. Try emailing their customer service for a few adult sites that use them. I'm curious if they'll at least reply to that.

Using them for several months now. Payouts on time - low rates and no reserve is a nice change.

That no reserve thing almost seems too good to be true, that's for their protection... sounds like a client grab, to me. 6 months from now when they have more clients they might look twice at that policy..

I try to forget their names ....

Vin 12-17-2008 07:02 AM

I would have expected one of them in here by now.

There was another thread where one of their reps answered quite a few questions. Let me see if I can dig it up for you.
