Holy crap!

I just went to register with CCBill and I got half way through the registration and read this:

...........
US-Based VISA High Risk Sponsored Merchant Registration Requirements:

In order for CCBill.com to register you as one of our VISA Sponsored Merchants, we must:

1. Collect pertinent information regarding your business; and
2. Make payment arrangements with you for the Initial Sponsored Merchant Registration Fee ($750.00 per company, not URL).


Upon receipt and review of the above, CCBill will submit your application for registration to VISA. Upon submission of your application to VISA it could take from 7 to 10 business days to process your registration information and begin your VISA processing.

An ongoing annual registration fee of $375.00 is required to maintain your VISA sponsored merchant status. You will be notified by CCBill 90-days prior to the anniversary date of your sponsored merchant registration date, at which time we will make payment arrangements for your annual fee payment.

If you choose to terminate your VISA Sponsored Merchant application after CCBill has submitted your registration and payment to VISA, you will not receive a refund of your registration fee.
........

So it would cost me $1125 to register with CCBill, and then $375 per year? !!!

Verotel was free!

Oh well.
