yea , this is sad,
I have always almost empty account on epass becaus I know it could so happend,
anyway I have locked some $ on epass too, because I have few hours to late try take them from ATM
but the worst is that they was perfect to use many sponsor's even if You make with some only 1-2 sale per month,
now I must reduce amount of sponsor's because checks are to problematic for me (im outside US) and with such low sale like 1-2 per month I can't wait 2 year 's to collect min for wire
besides these days many sponsor's go down so thi is next reason to avoid waiting long time for minimum for wire
