CCBIll acept visa, avoid deposit for adult site

**pluma** · 01-13-2009, 10:14 AM

I have an adult dating site, all images videos etc are user provided. I do not sell ****.

CCbill wants $750 deposit to accept visa for adult sites.

Is there any way around this?

is there a similar reputable payment provider that does recurring billing (NOT PAYPAL - they suck)

It is easy, if you just provide dating services on your website and you don't have any **** pictures or movies up, then you are able to apply for a merchant account as straight e-commerce.

I don't think dating is considered high risk or is it ?

Dating is not Adult but it can in many cases still be considered High Risk business, and I have seen Dating websites where they show hard core **** pictures and movies on the main website, which isn't the best way to convinces your payment processor not to consider it as Adult website.

I always thought that Dating was Adult, since you often find nudity pictures on those sites and even on some you will find hardcore ****...

dating website is really risky..there is 90% chances for the user to move much related to **** kind stuffs like nude pics etc..even if u make rules not to uplaod **** pics or anythng none is going to follow it.

For me it ended up going with CCBILL I paid the $750 and are good to go now... the processing is going very well. However I'm still looking for a better / cheaper solution.

What region do you target ? US & Canada ? Europe ? Asia ? The whole world

Do you need billing in $, €, more... ?
And, yes, you can always find cheaper than CCbill

As you may see, I already found a solution, have been working with CCBILL for some time now, they pay like a clockwork and also take care of payments to my affiliates, just awesome, CCBILL over all other processors for this purpose...

We are targeting the US and Europe - with CCBILL it was only possible to get processing in USD however we are fine with this.

In some EU countries, CC is the main method of payment wether in some others -germany for instance- ELVs (meaning Elektronisches Lastschrift Verfahren or "direct debit") is much more popular. Depending on your volume and on the countries you're targeting, you can find reliable solutions to bill your european traffic 8% to 10% per transaction (<50K€ monthly volume).

If you're also targeting other regions than USA, you should definitely consider adding a European-based processor to your dating site. I'm almost 100% sure it would increase conversion regarding your european customers. But would your affiliates be happy to open two different accounts and be paid by two different processors ? That's another story I guess...
Might be a mess to implement all that on your website but it could be worth giving a try !

Why cant people just make the posts required before they post links or hints to other companies, I would be really interested in knowing who this company is.

Damn this spammers are going to ***s me off, if it wasn't for them you could have posted what you know.... CCBILL is one of the companies around, actually they have been around for centuries and are very stable as well trusted. In addition we have Verotel which have been around for almost the same time as CCBILL has, also trusted and no scam reports worth reading about them.
