CCBill will do this every time a customer threatens a chargeback. But then they'll blacklist the user, based on email and CC number, so the customer will only be able to do it once (until they get a new CC). The Webmaster of the next site they try to join gets a Pre-Auth decline, then bitches about it because they think they're losing customers. Hep me.
CCBill is more likely to reverse when it's a void as the charge hasn't been batched yet. They (and you) want to avoid excessive refunds. Cheaper than chargebacks, but they also don't look good if you have too many of them.
Yeah, there are crooks out there, but the customer probably would have charged back if not refunded, so you would still be in the same position.
