We all are intimately familiar with having to use 3rd party providers in order for our websites to take VISA/Maser Card. Do you agree that ccBill and Epoch raise the costs of doing business? You have no idea what they are paying the banks themselves.... it's expensive!
I don't see it that way. I see epoch and ccbill that allow many businesses to operate that otherwise wouldn't. Likewise insurance companies provide access to medical treatments they otherwise could not afford.
