The journey is just as important as the destination, IMO.

I quite agree.

I know ethics doesn't venture much into the real world, I am not that naive. I am not expecting it, just saying scams & profiteering needs to be called when it is going on.

I am basing my 'cost plus' argument on virtual goods, not real world essentials. Everyone is in business to make money, after all.

The gist I got was that it was to prevent the occasional 'POed' customer giving a '0' and screwing the site's stats.

That is a free equivalent of Microsoft Works.

Their Excel substitute Calc is very good for jobs like that.

Sure with tangible goods there are variable delivery costs.
Going on the 'cost plus' ethos virtual goods effectively should cost the same globally.

That is one of the beauties of photography.
It captures a moment in time.

There are plenty of long running sites that have revamps from time to time too.

The concept is quite straight forward.
Most often the sites using regional pricing are non EU.
It is nothing to do with local taxes, it is simply geared towards charging as much as they feel they can.

Just check out Reveen's post earlier in this thread.

No idea where this is going. I guess for us customers it's a good trend, because we're currently living in a customers market. But this trend could be reversed at some point, when we see the critical mass of sites dying and the remaining sites more and more unable to feed the supply.


Customers can only buy what is available.
I would subscribe to sites that properly catered to my preferences.
Unfortunately there don't seem to be any consistent providers & few if any are willing to.

Well, I can see copyright may be an issue.
If a way could not be found, perhaps the TBP reviews could feature them?

Strike the Figurebaby recommendation entirely.

Cap'n.


Sorry to say gotta delete my other recommendation now too.

Inflated egos & not listening to anything not totally in agreement with where they want to go.

Really struggling to find any material that fits my niche properly these days!

Just appreciate what you perceive to be good whilst it is available.

That is the approach I have to most things.
I have to do this, as so few sites cater to my preferences.

( It would be very nice if more sites did what I appreciate though. )

For me, it was of passing interest the first time I saw it.

For a site to use it to count for an additional update is lazy & a bit of a cheat, as it is just padding other content IMO.

It just goes to show, as I suspected, it is a conspiracy between CCBill & less worthy Webmanagers.

If CCBill withdrew this indefensible 'service', these thieves wouldn't get the option!

Location: Near the Beer! 		As I said in another thread a while back, I do not have an issue with paying a premium for shipping of tangible goods.
It used to be that UK Harley part suppliers used to charge £s for $s. This covered their importation costs & saved their customers the risk of ordering sight unseen goods.
I thought that was an OK deal.

This scam however, is an outright rip-off!
As CCBill say they are requested to do it by the Webmanager, I take it they must each get a cut of the loot.

Location: Near the Beer! 		If an internet subscription sells for $19.95 in the USA & the Webmanagers are making a satisfactory profit based on that, what justification is there for charging folk subscribing in other jurisdictions more when the costs are the same?

It is simply profiteering!

Bang on.

This is more where I am coming from.

I appreciate you are trying to help but I am not interested in 'work arounds', as they do not address the issue.

What I am trying to do is consign the greedy & unfair practice to history.

Location: Near the Beer! 		Thank you, Mr. Frosty.

This is the kind of info I want to publicise for the benefit of non-US consumers.

Well, I have started it.
I really hate the greedy principle that this is based upon.

Anyone with me?

Name & shame here, please?

This insidious & underhand practice needs pulling up & killing off like the bindweed it is.

I would start the list myself, but I have very little in the way of subscriptions on the go at the moment; certainly none involving regional pricing!

Here are a few of the culprits that spring to mind:

Met Art
Joy Mii (Which is odd as Fem Joy does not)
No rest network

All of these do it:

Penthouse

Evil Angel

In Focus Girls

BRAZZERS

Alison Angel

Housewife Kelly

Well, I have to admit, I hadn't noticed it.
That is very underhand & insidious.

We can all thank CCBill for starting this scam!

Why would such a grossly unfair & unjustifiable 'service' only provided by one billing service be made mandatory?

Who would have the legal power to do that anyway?

Why do people empower these fascists by talking in such terms?

As far as I am aware, 'No, they don't.'

They never have to my knowledge.
It is only CCBill who provide it as a 'service'.
