Yeah, yeah. I didn't notice. Sue me.

:glugglug

your getting deeper in it

If it wasn't for the rebills i think all adult sites should tell Visa to shove it..
Master, Discovery and checks can be rebilled just as easy..I've had some signups using checks since 2000 that are still getting rebilled..
If ALL of us told Visa to shove it they'd have a hard time explaining why they lost a major percent of a 200 billion $ a year Bizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What is a 200 billion dollar a year biz?

Where is this thread?

Do a search, this thread is months old.

It has no effect on us.
What your hearing from billing companies, those of us with merchant accounts have been doing for some time.
You all are just playing catch up.

Heck we even pay the mastercard fee's which you dont YET...but you can bet on it that you will be soon :)

Wow. You got some nice titties there, girl! :Graucho

:1orglaugh

Yeah that sounds like a good idea :1orglaugh

I have a question that may be kinda stupid, but arent most??

Well here we go.
Visa in in business to make money right?? One of they ways they do this is by processing credit cards for poeple like us. They get paid when there is a charge back, they get paid by the interest that the customer pays, and now they get paid our yearly fee to have the right to process cards with them.

So what is the problem?? Not enough money??

I mean damn is this not enough??
You know that they have at least 30% of this!

Dunno where they got those figures from but I dont think they are correct.

And if you cull the fraud out of them, they are even more off.

57 billioin seems pretty high, dude.

Did I post this in the right thread? :1orglaugh

actually those came from a study done by the isp's. I am sure that there is a big margin for error, but you can figure that they are probably not that far off...


if you take with a grain of salt the money that some of these people say they make, you can guess that for the last 2 years the porn industry has fueled the net and most of the big isp's.

Is now a good time to remind everyone of who said,"listen to RonC." and who said,"fuck ccbill they just want to grab 750.00"?

no, that would be wrong but as is always the case, the usual suspects were wrong and the rest of us were right. again.

This, in a word, sucks. I hate being told "I told you so."
