Payment through ePassporte sucks !

Emperor · 2005-07-29, 12:10 PM

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.

GunnCat · 2005-07-29, 12:28 PM

Get a real epassport debit card.

Surfn · 2005-07-29, 12:38 PM

I've had NO problems with my account

Greenguy · 2005-07-29, 01:16 PM

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.

CrazySy · 2005-07-29, 04:08 PM

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

Rui · 2005-07-29, 04:19 PM

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

/me loves ePass

Tommy Tickler · 2005-07-29, 05:22 PM

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

MadMax · 2005-07-29, 05:27 PM

Just hook your bank account up and transfer the cash there

ponyman · 2005-07-29, 05:36 PM

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

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

AbsolutePorn · 2005-07-29, 10:18 PM

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

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

Lunatic · 2005-07-29, 11:52 PM

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.

Wazza · 2005-07-30, 01:23 AM

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

Fonz · 2005-07-30, 08:55 AM

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.

amadman · 2005-07-30, 09:23 AM

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.

Surfn · 2005-07-30, 09:41 AM

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.

Emperor · 2005-07-30, 01:20 PM

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.

digifan · 2005-07-30, 01:48 PM

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

troy · 2005-07-30, 06:16 PM

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

morruga · 2005-07-30, 06:31 PM

cut the crap...

oil · 2005-07-30, 08:21 PM
