Buyers market site why??

    I have a site that contains fetish, glamour, softcore, and explicit nudity. Customers can by videos, livecam shows, and worn items. If customers are into being a slave/serving me then they have the option of joining a membership that allows them to pay my bills, send tributes, shop off my private wishlist, watch my video blogs, view personal pictures, join my group livecam shows, send me instant messages, send me private messages, submit free video requests, get to know me better, build a dom/sub relationship with me, be a candidate for real time sessions and more.

    I've sent my website to alertpay, plugnpay, and zombaio and they've all rejected my website. The only one to tell me why they rejected it was plugnplay and they said that my website is a buyers market/high risk site so they cant accept it.

    I'm a little confused on why my site would be considered a buyers market. So I'm wondering why my site would be considered a buyers market and what changes I could make so that it could be accepted by one of the 3 payment processors.

    I meant to say buyers club instead of buyers market.

    You need to try moneybookers.com and/or www.authorize.net, if your in the US I don't think you can use moneybookers but it's worth a try. Authorize.net will give you your own merchant account and based on your site description should accept you. Any kind of porn is hard to get accepted because there is often a high % of charge backs. I don't understand what they meant by Buyers Market, I can only assume they meant that it is a site where people will buy and then ask for a charge back (refund) after getting the product. I would search for "payment processors for porn" and see what you find. It is very possible you will ahve to use an offshore company which will put your % for transaction some were between 7 to 15%.

    authnet will not touch this. Besides that authnet is a payment gateway so you would still need a merchant account. Offshore is the only way to possibly get processing for this.

    To my understanding moneybooker and authorize don't accept adult content sites. I meant buyers club instead of buyers market.

    You'll need to use CCbill or another "Adult" payment processor to process your customer's CC payments. All the other known payment processors do not accept Adult sites, of any kind, because of the high incident of charge backs associated from these type of customers. They have to pay fees to VISA/MASTERCARD just like you have to pay transaction fees to them for processing your payments. Best of luck to you.
