Well, hopefully he makes good on what he offered and you can get some needed answers.

Well finally I got an anser but not from himself...as far as I understand that CCbill goes into a batch mode, means people buy a subscription and because of batch mode their cc is not proofed directly (Those subscribers are displayed in my admin panel for 5 hours and more). Finally they got access to my member area and once the batch mode is over they got proofed by ccbill. Now it happens with negativ result that they are declined. This happens with me in the last 24 h 5 times..all had access to my member area during that time as far as I understand my logfiles corectly. 3 times 60 $ 2 time 25 $ makes around 230 $! What is strange to me in addition is that most of them now are europeans I tried to contact all of the subscribers to find out from their site unfortunatly now one get back to me...may be fraud? I have no idea ..is this situation also known with other webmasters, I mean in amount and time?

This was one of my many issues with iBill back when I ran a couple of paysites. They were small niche - domination and amateur girl sites - with 100% exclusive, but limited in amount, content, due to it all being shot on site. iBill would allow a new signup full access to the sites for a couple of days before declining their card, and frankly, since I wasn't kink.com, all of the content on my poor sites could have been, and was, downloaded in a few hours. If my corner liquor store can get a CC verification before letting me leave the store with 2 bottles of tequila, I'd think professional rebilling services (IPSPs or whatever they're called now) could get verification in real time too, before setting a username and password and allowing access into a members area. Seems to take 20-30 seconds for most CC transactions.
