Ok, I'm tired of all these "yes, but..." companies.

I want to process credit cards through my site, with adult content, but not get a merchant account.

I live in Greece (here they consider as adult even chat sites!), and the easiest thing to do is to deal only with one company, the one who will send me the money once a week.

Something like ccbill, but with lower fees.

Please help. :smash:

Boy - I really hate to say this ....

but with all the problems of all these other merchants who say they "do" adult, then you can't get your money .... doesn't it make you wonder?

CCBILL takes about 15% ... but they accept adult and they pay weekly and they will likely accept your business.

Why is that so "expensive"? 2.9% is great as long as you get your money. When you don't get your money, it doesn't matter if they are processing for free.

Build the cost of the credit card payment into your membership and move on.

And be happy that there is a company that does 3pp adult and has NEVER had bad writings on the internet. That has to be worth something.

Just my opinions.

Thanks for your answer custsrvcrep.

Your opinion turns out to be the best for me right now. I've made lots of searching and I have two choices right now. Either don't do the job, or go with them. They have opened a european division and it may become easier when it comes to accounting.
You know what I hate with all these? I have a legal company, I pay taxes (19% of my income!), and they say NO? Am I a criminal? Am I the devil? Brothels work legally, prostitutes work legally and I want to make a camera app and they say they can't trust me???

Sorry for the bad language guys, but this has gone way too far. When I'll become rich I'll put all my money to their face and dare them to say no. ;)

Good look,

I process my credit card manually thru a merchant account setup at the local bank. and using amember.com software to help.

:uzi: And some day the boy will go back to school!

I MEANT to say .. Why are they so "expensive".

ccbill requires a $750 registration fee and an ongoing annual fee of $375 for high risk company. You got to be kidding me.
I am confused custsrvcrep can you explain a little to me what are 15% and 2.9%?
I appreicate it.

Are you sure about this? The only cost I know which is huge is the $550 if you decide to go with cavecreek server.

It listed under the VISA logo where locates in the middle of the page.

You guys heard of global-payment-services.com ?
But I think it requires a merchant account. Pardon my limited knowledge since I am totally new to ecommerce.

Am I blind or not? Thanks for the info cecurity.
Every company requires a merchant account. Those who don't do not accept adult sites, or like you mentioned, charge a lot.
My other idea would be to find a trustfull company with an adult merchant account in the US, and deal only with them. As you can understand... no luck...

If you want a directory of adult processors go her - http://xbiz.com/directory_showcases.php?id=3

http://www.netbilling.com/ - do adult billing to your merchant account

see also http://epochsystems.com/

etelegate.com also accepts adult and highrisk business, contact them for a quote , or actually you can signup free, request quotes and decide later wether to go with them or not.( i use their services for non adult processing)
