CCBill - Visa approval timeline...

[Useless]

I'm wondering, in the breadth of your experiences, how long does it typically take to get Visa approval for a new site? First CCBill said it would be one to two weeks. Well, about one week later, they are saying that it's going to be a solid month. I'm not talking about CCBill approval. We have that. It's Visa that *appears* to be holding up the game. That simply seems to be a competely unrealistic amount of time to get someone to take money from you.

|huh

1 month? that's insane

Longest time for me was about 2 weeks max (and that was 1 1/2 weeks too long), it's been over a year since I've added a site though.

Have you talked to your rep? I'll send Corvette this thread url. He might be able to help.

']Have you talked to your rep? I'll send Corvette this thread url. He might be able to help.Chop just got off the phone with somene at CCBill. :( And thanks for letting Corvette know. A month just seems way too long (especially when you plan on launching the site in another week ;)).

[[BV]]

corvette just told me on icq it's normally 3-5 days but it can take longer when they are backed up

so they must be pretty backed up if 1 month is a true timeline

i can't imagine that much of an increase of new ccbill sites being submitted for approvel though

that's like a 1000% spike of new sites being submitted

[emmanuelle]

We've had them take from 1.5 days to 25 days. No rhyme or reason.

[koolkat]

It took about 7 (business) days for my first site, about 3 for my second, and I am currently going on about 10 for my other, and still no word. |huh

[Ms Naughty]

*Cue voice of the old man hung upside down in the dungeon in Life of Brian*
"A week! oooh, what I wouldn't give to hear back from CCBill in a week!"

[juggernaut]

Took 1 month for my site and I wanted to have a sub account change that required visa approval, that 2 weeks.

[CCBill James]

Corvette is correct on that one. In a general given basis sites that are sent off to Visa for approval can come back as quickly as 3-5 days. However, this does not guarantee that every account sent to Visa will be processed in the same amount of time. The actual time frame itself account approval from Visa is 7 -21 business days.

Hope that helps clear up some confusion. :)

Last site I just did took almost 2 weeks. They were really backed up.

When you say "approval from Visa" what exactly do you mean.

I was under the impression that CCBIll had a Visa department (so to speak) operated by CCBill employees.

Are these sites actually being sent off and reviewed by Visa employees at Visa's offices?

In order for CCBill to process Visa transactions on your behalf all accounts must complete the full Visa registration process. This includes the account being approved by CCBill and by Visa as well. Once the account has been approved by CCBill and the application has been completed the account is sent off for further approval to Visa. This is where the 7 - 21 business days comes into play.

I suppose it's a good thing that this is nothing more than a hobby for all of us, or else a period of 7-21 days would be annoying. :D

This is exactly why I never pay my Visa bill. My way of sticking it to the man.

[Chop Smith]

I am confused. The account has had Visa approval for two years. Does each site require Visa approval. I do not recall a 'pending' status ever occuring on our other sites when they were set up.

yes, each individual and new site requires visa approval.

[Beaver Bob]

For the very first site we put up, it took like 3 weeks. But now when we do additional sites, usually within a week, no more than 10 business days.

James,

When you say the account is sent off for further approval to Visa for 7-21 more days. Please answer my question. Is this a "Visa" department at CCBIll's office?

or

are these new sites being approved sent off to Visa's office?

Thanks,
BV

Someone was bithciung about Visa complaining about upsells in a members area. Is this true?

i doubt that is true

that's a rev share affiliates main gripe

and rightly so

[Ramster]

All sites are approved by CCBill then sent to Visa yes. That is a normal process and has been for a while. As far as I know I've had to do the same thing for a long time.

At NS Cash we use several processors and after they each approve a NEW site being added to the program (all new sites need visa approval, not just ccbill, epoch, ect) then the site is sent to Visa for a once over approval. Then after that you can start processing.

[Useless]

I have no problem with Visa's need to take a gander at the sites themselves. It's the amount of time that they are requiring that's at issue. When you see '21 days' you feel that big rusty bear trap tightening down on your balls. I may need a Tetanus shot.

[Greenguy]

Useless - you can only blame yourself. If you were done with the site on March 23rd, you'd have approval already |couch|

[Toby]

...If you were done with the site on March 23rd, you'd have approval already |couch|Ahh, kind of like submitting galleries to TheHun |snail

lol....until you go check your credit bureau file and see all the nasty little things they say.

[Alex xe]

the same problem, for one site we wait approve already 4 weeks.

never mind, Corvette answered me via icq

Someone from Visa's office actually checks it also.
Interesting.
I wonder how they advertise that job in the paper. hehehehe

Whose ass did you kiss?

Now say, "14 days ain't bad CCBill."

14 Days ain't bad CCBill. |cheers|

[Preacher]

So what's my affiliate code? :D

[Ramster]

14 days is reasonable for sure. I like ccbill, always have. As an affiliate I am never worried about getting my weekly checks.

CCBill probably has approved you. What you are waiting on now is Visa. As I am sure you know, CC processing is almost useless w/o Visa.

A month sounds pretty long though. We usually wait about a week.

[Kenny B!]

We waited close to 2 months for one of our sites, although I think that had to do mainly with the type of content and wording in the text.

A month is not uncommon. This is why you should put up a quick temp tour and members area, send it off for approval while finishing the site:-)

[Tommy]

I have a site right now waiting on visa approval

I am wondering do i need to add some sort of contact info on the main members page

maybe a link to ccbill or an email link

You need to have easy to find cancel links. And email for members to send to isn't a bad idea.

[KCat]

Can you have a temporary join page pointing elsewhere? I want to switch one of my bigger AVS sites to CCBill, but while I wait for approval I'd like to keep getting the AVS sign ups (members area will continue to be mirrored on a separate AVS URL).

[juggernaut]

Cat I had something like this working for a little while. What I learned was I set up my ccbill for 1 site at the time. If I had to do it all over again I would make a site with my business name. Why? Simple. When people were signing up at my 2nd site they were getting confirmation emails, they were mails from the 1st site I signed up with not the 2nd site. This was hardcoded into the confirmation mails and I could not change it to the 2nd site. I had to go through the visa approval process again for the 2nd site. Next time it will be the company name, this way any sub account you make will get the confirmation for blah blah company, not blah blah website.

[KCat]

I noticed that with the confirmation emails too! Not until months after I set up another subaccount, unfortunately. I had edited the original quite profusely with personal stuff like "kisses from girlsname" etc. Now I've got everything under 1 general site, but the new one I want to add is in a different niche, so must be a separate subaccount.

[KCat]

After reading this thread I decided to jump the gun a little & submit the new site to CCBill now & do the finishing touches, add more content & whatnot while waiting for the Visa approval.

WOW! CCBill had the site approved & scripts installed in under 4 hours. Awesome work, guys!

[Useless]

WOW! CCBill had the site approved & scripts installed in under 4 hours. Awesome work, guys!I agree that CCBill's part is completed very quickly indeed. Even after my site got kicked back the first time, they re-reviewed it almost immediately after we reported that the appropriate changes were made.

yah, and good to go with every credit card except VISA
too bad everyone does not use master card & discover

[KCat]

Woohoo! We're approved only 8 days later. Now the only problem is...we're not ready! lol

I was expecting at least a few weeks to get all of my bonus content up & edit a few more videos. I've already had some sign ups with Mastercard & now Visa is ready to go. Looks like I've got some late nights ahead of me (not that I'm complaining). :P

[swingingina]

2 weeks is about average......

[Useless]

2 weeks is about average......"See sig" would have cut your posting time in half.

The question is pretty damn well fucking answered at this point. |thumb
