High-risk merchant accounts can be a tricky situation as they have to rely on banks that have to rely on VISA, have to rely on government regulations, and so on. There is a lot of red tape, and the IRS is probably not making it easy as well. If any merchant service has too many chargebacks, VISA will stop the account and well the whole company will have an issue then. The idea with high-risk merchants is that they have special security to avoid chargebacks and pay and charge higher fees to allow more chargebacks than normal. Regardless, if you get a lot of chargebacks like over 5 a month, they will probably stop your service for it. Very few high-risk merchant services have survived the last 20 years. Only two have a long-time record that is mostly good.
