Payment through ePassporte sucks !
 

Hi guys,

I set up an ePassporte account for one sponsor, I have about $700 in there now. I ordered something from NewEgg and it was declined because the credit card was not issued by an American bank.

What the fuck am I supposed to do with the money in there ?

This sucks.

Get a real epassport debit card.

I've had NO problems with my account |thumb

I gave up trying to use the electron card online because it was so hit & miss - just get the ATM card & spend the cash on what you want or hook up your bank account to it & transfer the money there.

Same here. I could not even waste my money at iTunes with the electron card. Now I just transfer the little money I get to my bank. :)

For online purchases you guys should use your "Virtual" rather than "Electron" (I was told a while back). I usually just transfer the money to my bank account :D

Wrong ePass is one of the best things it happened in this business... :D

/me loves ePass :D

I agree epassporte is great, and lets give a big fuck you to PayPal.

Now the electron is crap, i dont know the deal, but ive spoken to my bank and they say you can use it online :( ???? like what the fuck else are you going to do with it ;)

Just hook your bank account up and transfer the cash there :)

One of my sponsors just switched from paypal & checks to epassporte and a few other options. I just got an epassporte account a week ago. I hope I have a good experience. Paypal has always worked out well for me.

Actually, I meant to say "virtual" for the online comments - kinda hard to use a "virtual" card at the grocery store :D

The 1st time I tried to use the "electron" card was at a gas pump - the guy inside came running out because he had no idea what kind of card I was using & never saw the error code that it produced on his screen....he assumed I was stealing gad :D

I love EPASS... dude, get yourself a Epassporte Visa Electron Card ;)

I love epassport. just transfer the money to a bank account if you can :)

Yup. The ONLY place I use the virtual card is godaddy because they take it and I'm a domain junky.

Otherwise, I withdraw from the ATM it or sweep it to my bank in 2 days.

Heck, even my daughter has a card that I set up for her. I give her some money she can withdraw at the mall or wherever and when it's gone it's gone :)
It works great :)

Once you get used to epassporte you'll love it. I prefer epassporte payment to checks myself. It's great to get paid instantly on payday.:)

Their load fees are outrageous...

$5 per $100 or part thereof... oh come now!

$100 in = 5% fee
$110 in = 9% fee

That doesn't sound right...sounds like some alien fees ;)

I buy all my books, DVD's and occasionally some content with my virtual ePassporte account. Because I live in europe I can't transfer it to my bank account. Other than that I have no complaints about ePassporte.
And BTW, never had any problems with paypal either, still use them frequently.

ePassporte works for me.

I tried newegg with no success along with a couple other things I tried(sucks because your money can get tied up for 30 days). But it has worked for more than not. Plus I dont have any other way of charging stuff online. So I will take what I can get. :)

I transfer money to bank accounts every two or three days just leaving a few hundred balance. I've used the Visa card everywhere I use my bank Visa, probably more.

Hi guys,

I guess I should have said the 'virtual' card sucks. I was really just going to use it to order stuff online but if it's hit or miss I'm not going to look for places that accept it.

I just bought a Nikon Coolpix 5900 from NewEgg, I could probably have searched around and found a place that sells it and also accepts ePassporte but I don't want to have to buy from other places just because of that.

So I just paid the extra to get the 'electron' physical card, I'll just get a PIN and withdraw cash from the ATM and either use it or deposit it in my bank account.

I'm pretty sure the ATM can give out $500 a day so a $2 withdrawal fee isn't bad at all.

So all in all ePassporte is very good, I just wish their 'virtual' Visa worked like any other Visa, I was rather surprised that it didn't.

Take care.

I have never had problems online so far, be it content, books etc... most softwares can handle the virtual visa as a real one.

Epassporte works fine for me.
Sometimes I get declined but most of the time its working fine

cut the crap... :D
epassporte it's great!

sometimes epassporte works sometimes not,

anyway most time it worx for me :D

Dude just because one shop doesn't accept your virtual visa card, does not mean that epassporte sucks. For me it always worked, I buy and renew domains, pay designers, buy content, pay my hosting bills etc. with it

cant you just take it out the wall then deposit the cash? i do that but its a pain in the ass with the $300 per day limit. lets hope they give foreigners bank transfer like paypal had.

i don't use it for those kinds of purchases for the same reason, i just cash out at an atm or transfer to bank account.

Is there a charge for transfering your epassporte money to your US back account?

i pay my hostings thru epassporte i buy stuff thru epassporte, but the most i pull the money thru atm....no problem here with epassporte and me not an american

There's a $2.00 charge per transfer, but I'm 99% sure the amount of the transfer doesn't matter.

Hi, i have a epassporte account and i need to buy some computer parts in newegg.com or zipzoomfly.com, please let mw know if anyone have good experiencia buying online in sites like newegg.com using Visa virtual card of eppasporte.com

Thanks

How long does it take to get the ATM card? I finally got an account a couple weeks back, but have yet to see my card. I also did'nt know you could transfer to a bank, one of the reason's I did'nt get one before.

I have no problems using mine online.

Did you apply to get your electron card or do you only have the virtual at the moment? See that you have at least $35 in your account when you do apply :)

Mine took a little under 2 weeks to get here.

I'm pretty sure I did, but I'll double check. I was thinking the same thing. Thanks.

Any one who says epass sucks has never used the other from of online banking... Paypal... and then had paypal freeze their account after you have transfered your money to your bank account.

Then had paypal give you a negitive paypal balance. Then take money from your bank account with out asking. Then make you get about 8 overwithdraw fees with the little post cards the bank sends out.

It might just be me though. I love EPASS!

Surfn thanks for your reply, but your eppasporte work to buy hardware online? in what sites?

thanks

Just send the money to me, I like epass and my card |pokefun| |crazy|

I really like my epassporte account. It took some getting used to at first.

For example, I can pay my hosting bill over the phone with my virtual epass account. But the first time I tried, I tried with my actual epass card, and that didn't work.

In the end, there is only one place that I cannot use either card numbers so far.
