For example:

"Fortunately we now use a Registrar that does allow us to do this. One of
three Registrars that I am aware of that allows this practice. There are
probably more than three, I haven't reviewed the policy of everyone out
there.
"We haven't registered any new domains with OpenSRS since May, so we should
not have any remaining liability from domains registered with OpenSRS, as
most banks restrict charge backs to two months, a few to six months.
http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0012/0204.html
"This attitude is why we now register all our new domains with another
Registrar and plan on moving the domains we have with OpenSRS to this other
Registrar as the current registration expires."
WXW: If this was true, and you were only using OpenSRS until your
customers' renewals, then why are you still here, since all of them
would have renewed by now?
http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0011/0866.html
"We currently only use OpenSRS for transfers, not new domain name
registrations for this very reason. We would prefer to use OpenSRS for
everything, but can not take the risks as long as their policies remain so
unfavorable to RSPs concerning charge back issues."
WXW: Odd, you claimed you weren't using OpenSRS at all, waiting until
renewals to move them to your magical new registrar, and here you say
you use OpenSRS for transfers. See what I mean? It's hard to
separate fact from fiction when reading your posts.
http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0104/0647.html
"We have switched all our new registrations to the Registrar
that treats us with respect, not distrust. All transfer
requests also go to this other Registrar if the client is
willing."
"We're small, as domain name registration is not our primary
business and we do not actively seek domain name
registration business. We only register 8-10 new domains
each day, so our leaving will not put OpenSRS out of
business. We realize that"
WXW: Strange, previously you had claimed to have over a thousand domains at
OpenSRS. This doesn't jive with your dates you claimed you stop using
them (or with your other previous volume claims).
http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0105/0225.html
"We still have over a thousand clients with OpenSRS, so it's
continuing stability is important to us. We would prefer to
have all our clients with one Registrar, as it would make it
easier for us to manage. We are offering incentives to our
clients to move their domains from OpenSRS so eventually we
will have moved them all as their domains renew. Since many
initially signed on for multiple years, it will take time."
"We would have preferred to stay with OpenSRS. It would have
been easier for us to do so than convince all our clients to
move their domains to another registrar. And we would have
made more money in the process, as we are not making
anything on the domains that we are moving. But the issue
of charge backs is just to important to ignore."
http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0104/0623.html
"We provide domain name registration free to our hosting clients, no charge.
That's zero dollars, we pay the fee ourselves if the client is willing to
transfer it to the registrar that we use. Which is not OpenSRS."
"We still have clients using OpenSRS, which is why we monitor their lists.
They pay the fee as they do not use to transfer the domain name to our
registrar. Which is xxxx(removed as not being appropriate for this list),
the amount our CPA tells us it takes to cover our costs of providing the
service."
"And I do not use my name because my opinions stated are my own, not those of
my company. I prefer to keep the two separate."
WXW: Or to prevent people from verifying your claims and holding you
responsible for your statements.
http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0012/0251.html
"This doesn't really have much of an impact on us anymore, as we have
switched to a Registrar that protects our interests in the case of charge
backs. The only reason we monitor this list is that we still have a large
number of clients registered with Tucows."
http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0012/0224.html
"Since we no longer use OpenSRS for new domain registrations, we are not
having as many problems with charge backs. The customer quickly "remembers"
the transaction when we disable the domain name on them."
WXW: Shall I go on?
