We did this several years ago and one of the reasons we did so was to better address declines/bounces. Our billing company can work on returns immediately (as opposed to me waiting until I could find the time). They are are also better at it than I was--no one wants to be the guy calling, looking for money. Also, our billing company gets automatic updates from the credit card companies (in most cases) to account for cards that are declined for the expiration date.]]> Tue, 24 May 2011 17:26:38 GMT http://www.athleticbusiness.com/forum/topic174-.aspx Tue, 24 May 2011 11:25:58 GMT
