What's going on guys

so I sell replicas such as shoes and handbags and basically all domestic merchant account providers have shut there doors on me and offshore merchants have ridiculous setup fees so I was looking into accepting echeck only. Has anyone tried this method and have success with it? I mean there are no chargebacks at all and the entire life of the ecommerce can go on without the fear of being shut down cause the funds were frozen and what not. Any suggestions? I really want to get started but seems like fear of failure is holding me back. Is echeck alone the right way to go? Thanks guys

Well seeing as the trade in conterfeit goods is illegal in most countries, what would you expect?

I know but with echeck I don't have to deal with the chargeback headaches so I'm just wondering if that alone is good enough to make sales. Credit cards are out of the question for now

I love people that have zero care for legal issues..

Do you state clearly and openly on your web site that the product you are selling is fake??

**Madchedda** · 12-24-2010, 09:59 AM

Of course that's always stated clearly on the website because no merchant provider would otherwise do business with you

Could you start by letting us know what it is your distributing and possible the website? This would allow for someone to really help you, without getting there selfs into some legal advice type situation. I can possible help but have to have some additional info so I don't get my company into any situation.

E-checks is a great alternative to credit card payments if you are running a business that is considered "high risk" by the merchant service network.

Make sure that everything on your web-site clearly explains your product and the fact that it's imitation.

If you want more information about accepting e-checks, I have some documentation for some of the major companies (telecheck, Authorize.net, USAePay etc.)
