First off, I'd like to thank you for being kind enough to give Daddo this board.
Secondly-I've seen your main page, and it looks great! When do you plan on opening it? I look forward to being one of the first members. :-)

Hey there...sorry for the delayed response on this...been in and out and missed some posts :(

I've mostly been battling with credit card processors on who they will allow to buy memberships...it's a big pain....they will not accept countries like Turkey, etc...including all of Easten Europe, etc...it pisses me off! I realize the fraud is higher from those countries, but the reality is that only 3-4% is bad instead of the 1% like the United States....and they think that is too much and won't let the transactions go through...

Fighting Visa and Matercard is like fighting an invincible army :(

Anyway, I'll open it soon just for the heck of it...not much I can do about every country getting in I guess, unless we do dialers or something...

Thanks for your reply.
As a suggestion for including people from countries that the CC Processors will not take: You can have them send you a check or international money order, and their email address. When you get it (and it clears, in the case of a check), you email them a username and password. For an example of one site's policy on this, go to http://www.goddessnicole.com/preview.html.

Hey there....thanks for the suggestion. :)

I'll figure out something! Life used to be so much simpler in the old days....

It will all come full circle when they install credit card readers on all keyboards so you just have to swipe the card and it will be counted as a card present transaction....MUCH less fraud and then VISA/MC can stop trying to strangle the whole online economy...

You really can't blame them, you have to blame the lousy crooks that do this :machine:
But they aren't using great common sense when they disqualify whole regions for very slight fractions of crooks vs honest people...
