hey, I've just finished reading all the replies to this topic and here's my 2.5c:

In a way, I believe the new threshold for chargebacks set by visa is inspiring in a way. It loudly tells the adult sponsors that it is time to increase the strength and intergrity of your business model. It also provides a saying that we are a closed industry that doesn't allow the potential customer to see what he are she wants untill your buy it.

The sponsor Topbucks reflects this situation in a postive way, by allowing the surfer to tour the members sections of their paysites.

I would like to see all sponsors provide this type of assurance for their potential customers.

And also I believe a lower rebill rate for their customers will be a successful solution in the longrun for their overall business. Cuz like it was said earlier in this topic, the paysites should not rebill at $39.95 a month. Especially if your content is not exclusive. Just because this sponsor sets it rebill rate at $39.95 doesn't mean you have to to. I believe a reasonable rebill rate would be $24.95 or less. For shitsakes cable internet cost $39.95 a month. Why would I pay for a pornsite rebilled at the same rate when it only has minimal amount of content.

Anything else.... ONe sec.

ah, True this may lower the overall payout amount for webmasters but it renders a satisfactory return for customers.

My conclusion is that sponsors should see this 1% chargeback tolerence as a birth to a new avenue that allows the adult industry to shape in a better more constructive and secure form, while providing a much more satisfying experience for their customers. instead of having sponsors competing for who has the highest payout rate, why not rely on who is the one with the most exclusive content. Who is the one with the best "open members section tour". Who is the one that doesn't charge the customer a retarded amount. Who is the one with the provides customers with respect to the amount that they are paying. And who is the one that balances their business pratice between Customers rebill rates & Affiliate commission rate.
