The banking system has determined that combating fraud is hard, so they just don't bother fighting it. Chargebacks are everywhere.

Well Wikipedia is great and all, but hardly an authority on any subject.  According to subsection 2.8.3 of the ACH rules it says there is a 5 day limit on reversals, and that's what my banking rep says as well (although they have been wrong before).  I agree credit cards are a nightmare, they give you no support at all.

There are a lot of people who cash out stolen credit cards who would love an easy method to launder stolen funds. Credit card -> SolidCoin -> BitCoin -> MTGox would be about as untraceable as you can get.

If you take credit cards you are going to attract a lot of credit card thieves.
