I saw this on some other board, looks like Mastercard plans to apply some new rules which might take out the 3rd party billers like Ibill, CCbill etc... the article is here <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/tech/2002-04-19-paypal.htm" target="_blank">http://www.usatoday.com/money/tech/2002-04-19-paypal.htm</a> I hope they are comming to some agreement otherwise this industry might get a hard punch.

What about those 5/20 that victimize porn sites with false chargebacks? <img border="0" alt="[Finger]" title="" src="graemlins/finger.gif" /> Doesn't look to good though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

It will lead them a loss of profits by 30-40% (paypal only has 13 million users).with the current economy crises , i dont think they can afford it .

This has been discussed before. It doesn't affect processors like CCBill and IBill.

Where has this been discussed? And why do you think it will not affect the companies like CCbill? If I have read the article correctly it should affect all proccessors. And if its really targeted on adult sites it might really be a problem for all of us.

Ahh, I have seen that on GFY, but as this is my favorite board I anted to see opinions of webmasters over here. You know, I kinda like the attitude of AWI webmasters more like those from GFY if you know what I mean <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
