Ok here's my question. Is it really necessary to have check and 900 number processing? I'm debating whether I should sign up with iBill who has very bad service and a shitty revshare program or maybe PSW who seem to be a lot better in both instances. Unfortunately PSW is CC only. Any comments or perhaps alternate suggestions would be welcome.

Mister X... is this for a paysite of yours?
If it is, then I would suggest to give yourself as much flexibility as possible, all the while ensuring that however you're billing your surfers, your webmasters get credit for sales.

The more different billing options you give a surfer the more money you make.

Just make sure that the webmaster gets credit for them, they dont like that if you dont :)

Yep, that's solid advice for sure! Offer as many ways to pay as you can, always ensuring that your webmasters are treated right!

If you plan to charge customers thru a Web900 type system - be carefull with IBill. They aren't paying their clients since June I think. They ran into problems with Worldcom (the 900 lines provider).

Oooh and btw, 60% of IBill's executives have worked for Worldcom in the past... :rolleyes:

Make sure to contact an account rep from IBill to get a status update before you do anything.

As an alternate idea to IBill Web 900, websitebilling.com offers the same service *and* your webmasters get credit for the sales as well.

Hmmmm. Sounds like website billing might be worth a looksee for sure. As someone who has been a revsharer for a number of sites through iBill I know that their revshare prog is a piece of crap. It doesn't credit webmasters for the 900 numbers and I think it just plain doesn't work very well. I won't be starting a revshare immediately but I want to have my options open for sure. Thanks for the advice guys!
