  49. What is a chargeback?
    A chargeback is a forced refund from a customer's credit card company. It occurs when a cardholder decides to formally dispute a charge on his/her credit card bill, if, for instance, someone has fraudulently used that credit card number. According to credit card associations rules, Internet merchants must accept credit card fraud as part of the normal risk of doing business on the Internet. The amount of credit card fraud can depend on your business nature. To reduce chargebacks, try to collect as much information as possible from your customer, and perform a phone order confirmation. If the order is found to be valid, then proceed with the order. A chargeback fee is a penalty fee that passes on to our merchant.
