You also don't have enough transaction volume for any analysis to be meaningful. This is why Visa and MC only start looking into your %'s after you reach a certain transaction volume, because at low volumes, chargeback rates are (mostly) meaningless.

It's like if you go to a club on a slow night and there are 3 girls there. 1 is a lesbian and so you determine that that club has like 33% lesbians. You could be right but most likely not, you just don't have enough data to tell.

Since you are far below the threshold for any processing problems I assume you are only concerned about the financial impact of the chargebacks, and the only thing I can say to that is just deal with it. The only way to have zero chargebacks is to have zero sales.

If I was you the ONLY thing I would be concerned about is increasing sales volume. You do NOT have a chargeback problem, you have low sales volume.
I've heard the magic number is 15 or lower chargebacks per month... you are not on the radar. 16 or higher is when VISA and MASTERCARD starts poking if percent is higher then 2% US, 3% European.

Sound about right? But that is VISA and Mastercard, that does not account for problems at the gateway level.
