One way to reduce them is not to take credit cards at all.
Another way is to deliver products and services that are of
quality and satisfy the customer.
Delivering a domain name is rather undisputable from the customer's
position, either they got the name or they didn't. This whole thread is
a non-issue, a figment of someone's imagination. Please source one first hand
domain reseller who has had any consistent and significant occurrences
of actual chargebacks on domain names, and what ration is their actual loss
to net sales?

This make no sense given the common English meaning of
the words you used, in fact it is contradictory.

Sure ...in a perfect world. In the meantime, Visa, MC, AMX and the
rest of the worldwide retail industry would rather concentrate on
matters not so trivial .

No, that's not the purported aim of this plaintive thread. The thread
started off with a straw man argument, the specious request that OpenSRS
should give the resellers ownership/control over the domain names to
prevent/reduce "thieves".
Of course the plaintiffs didn't listen when it was pointed out the even if
they
did have ownership/control of bogus names, it would not put one single $
back into their RSU account, so their argument was rendered moot from the
start ...
but they keep clamoring ... and tilting at mythical windmills.
