I use CCBill for my website billing. Around a year back, I stopped offering check options. We had been getting a ridiculous number of chargebacks. Plus, I look at it this way... there is no easier billing option to defraud. All you need is a check from someone to get all the info you need to spend their money online. Even if most sales aren't fraud, it is very easy to claim fraud and get your money back.

So, anyhow... Should I offer checks, or not?

I know we got a ton of refunds. I don't know what percentage, but it was a lot. Also, when I stopped offering check options, it didn't seem to affect sales. People just signed up using a credit card.

The thing is, I would like to take the chance to get more sales. I have mostly been told that checks are fine, and you make more than you lose. What do you think?
