How are your chargebacks?
 

Im used to running .2-.3 and this year it seems to be the new way to cut back on the bills. Your experiences. I post this here and not the jungle because I want honest answers:)

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

None for my paysites this year and I believe 1 from sponsor sales all year *crosses fingers* For my merchant account with tangible goods, I've never had one in 12+ years, but I do my own scrubbing and am almost anal about the checking I do. I spent nearly 45 minutes on the phone with Bank Of America yesterday just to confirm an address (business accounts to personal accounts to personal credit cards to personal debit cards to business debit cards)

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

So far this year, my chargebacks ratio for all the websites we have is 0.237%. That is the highest it has ever been as our historic average has been 0.17%.

Returned checks is also up, currently at 0.49% where the historic was 0.21%

For tangibles, using my own merchant account, I haven't had any chargebacks this year, but have only had one since we started that account in 1999.

Up a tick here as well.

I would agree with the assessment that people are scrutinizing their bills a bit more closely due to the economy.

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

same here

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

Still at 0.0% here.

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

That's what we do as well.
We confirm each and every sale.
We have a high ticket price, so it's economical for us.
(Plus, I don't look good in stripes, and want to make sure my product doesn't get into the wrong hands.)

I will also add that failed rebills are up.

IndyMac crashed and about 10,000 depositors are shitting their pants at the moment. I am sure that some of them must be our customers. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are skating on thin ice. You gotta keep your powder dry at the moment. Times is tough and it ain't looking good for the short term. Doesn't matter what business you are in or what job you have.
Now, all those who voted for Bush, raise your hands and take the heat. Mike AI, step up to the plate and tell us one more time how the war in Iraq was a victory and GW Bush and president Cheney are fiscal conservatives and will launch the new American century. I am sure he and all the rest of those political morons will remain silent on this. Anyone else care to stand behind this administration? Personally I really miss the Clinton era. Possibly the happiest and most prosperous times America has ever seen.

I'm not sure how Chargebacks have ANYTHING to do with Iraq.......
Sounds like somebody is bored and looking to bait people.

The sky is bright over here, and we are doing just fine.
(I have to go now, to finish construction on the new factory.)
But you boys keep wringing your hands, and worrying about the sky falling.
My chargebacks= still @ 0.0%

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

I didn't think you would. Rednecks have a problem following cause and effect. They just vote the obvious and this is the result. I guess the tin foil hat is working in Beeftown, USA

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

Zing!

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

Just an FYI, there was a recent upgrade to titanium foil hats. ;)

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

Does it come in rolls next to the Saran Wrap at the 711, or is it a special order from the area 51 dollar store?

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

Strictly a special order from Space Cadet Command. :okthumb:

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

yeah, but you need the special couple on you can only get at 7/11 - you have to walk in, and say the secret pass phrase to the guy behind the counter "I want to marry you sister"...

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

That's how I buy condoms.

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

And then again, there are delusional people that manage to shape every event to fit their twisted little views of the world....

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

...and apparently the only way you get to use them!

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

Welcome to the real world bud.

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

LOL......

......He says with a picture of him in drag as an avatar.....

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

better than a picture of some old guy badly in need of a comb over and hair paint. Surely that can't be you emp. I mean when you post, you sound so manly and well downright hirsute.

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

Hirsute? *perk*

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

I forgot that's your thing....lol....

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

Only if those things are important to you. I don't need a comb over, or hair paint, to be manly. I'm also quite secure in my "manly-hood," and don't feel the desire to explore other "lifestyles."

But you confused fellas, just do your thing.

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

But I'm just so pretty when I am dressed.

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

it takes more longger

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

carol.prime??

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

I'm not surprised you think so. You have such a love affair with yourself.
Y'ain't doin' nothing for me.

Re: How are your chargebacks?
 

I know, but as little Richard said, when you are this pretty, you don't need no udda nigger.
