I'm curious, why not use Stripe? I have heard nothing but good about them, and since you are willing to use Pay-Pal, I am assuming you are willing to use other 3rd party processors. If you have your own merchant account and have implemented the code by hand or through a library, you pay all sorts of fees, sign up fee, fraud chargeback fees, percentage of charge, statement fee, monthly fee, etc. Both Strip and Square…
The initial post was just a draft I had neglected to make private, and wasn't finished (but thank you xixi for posting). I didn't spend the whole year solely battling CC fraud. I now wrote about other things that happened in 2015 now, so go back and refresh to read that part.

I'm actually in the same space selling "hoverboards" and have been massively hit with fraudulent transactions. Luckily we realised fairly quickly and enforced draconian fraud checks, we're missing out on potential sales but the Buzzfeed is article is the alternative. I'm not sure which processor Candy Japan uses, but you can usually request to implement advanced fraud rules and strict settings that require Zip/postal…
