Mr. Tim Jung,
Since when is taking credit cards and bulk orders considered "poor company policies"?!!! Get real!!! Anyone who is interested in a viable and serious internet business will find credit card processing an essential component. What you missed from these discussions is that most RSPs are requesting what is already available to registrars and can be implemented easily, for the benefit of the end user and quicker support for the end user. Noone here is saying there is no "risk" with credit cards. What they are implying and again you seem to have missed this is that RSP's who paid for a bogus registration woul like to have the power to reverse that process at least partially, by disallowing the bogus customer to use the domain. Get it?!!! Show me one registrar, even one, that lets you keep and use a domain after you have defaulted on payment and then I will buy your arguement.
