Well I disagree totally on VISA and losing sales.

When this whole VISA blackmail started I was running a membership site and opted not to pay it.

I simply upped the VISA price and offered MC at a lower price and all.. WITHOUT EXCEPTION... of my members opted to renew using MC or DISCOVER...

I moved out of a membership site simply because I can make more selling the books individually and don't have to worry about updates or anything...

But with decent marketing I don't think anyone can lose out in any dramatic sense.

Just a reminder, the argument used on why you need to cough up $750 for VISA or lose sales is the same argument used way back when AMEX opted to get out of the adult area... THe Adult biz didn't collapse nor will yours if you just use creative pricing and up front honest approaches.

And with all due respect, I'd say that simply because someone doesn't wish to pay or feel they can't justify the $750 blackmail fee is any reason for them to get out of the business.

Just my 2 cents worth.
