Webmaster Billing

[Boc]

Quick question, I wondered how many webmasters/site owners accepted the fee MasterCard imposed to allow payment providers (ie. CCbill & Epoch) to process their cards? Greedy greedy Mastercard in times of recession trying to boost their profits.

Nope I didn't we wasn't doing enough volume to warrant it...

ATVOD had already killed me before that came in.

Yup, we're in.
We had somewhere like 15-20% of our CC business with Mastercard and certainly didn't want to piss off long standing members by dropping the facility.

No biggie though, just another fixed cost to add to the forecasts for next year! 8)

Yes. Got stung for it twice by CCBill and Epoch.
We would have lost more in MasterCard rebills otherwise!

I politely declined and wished to be more vocal but no used in having a go at CCbill or Epoch... All sales and revenue are down across all industries and then some bright spark bean counter comes up with an idea to get more money from the porn industry... that's gotta be scratching around for an organization such as Mastercard (dare I call them a bank)! Wankers (bankers) ...

Thanks all for your comments anyway...
