What Form Of Payment From A Sponsor Do You Prefer Skippy?

[Joe]

ePassporte all the way.

Btw, concerning the ePassporte Electron card, how has the success rate been?

I heard some people were having trouble using it at select locations even though they allowed VISA cards.

it works fine for me, ,like Cleo i only use my epassporte plastic card to pull cash

I'm with Wenchy - give me a paper trail. It makes my record keeping more simple and accurate.

I have one sponsor paying me via ePassporte, and that makes for a great "petty cash" fund for domain renewals, StatsRemote payments, Target.com (damn them! How dare they accept ePassport Visa!) etc. - almost feels like "free" money.

I would like to see a lower minimum payout from some sponsors. $50 is fine; $100 is too high. I don't promote all sponsors equally and it's not uncommon for a few weeks to go by before I hit the magic number. (In some cases, months or even years - I kid you not.) Cash that is not flowing does me little good.

I pushed the "Regular Checks" button. But that's probably because I don't know exactly how this whole ePassporte thing works

Exactly. There are two main groups voting at this thread:

1/ they pressed ePassporte button
2/ they do not know how ePassporte works

[Cleo]

I just use mine to take out cash at ATMs.

[Kinky]

I like checks (I let them pile up without cashing them for awhile so that I don't get the urge to piss all my money away on useless crap)

[Wenchy]

I prefer good old paper checks, so that's where my vote went. I have this real thing about check stubs for bookkeeping reasons, plus I much prefer having the funds in my hands even if it does take a couple of extra days to get it here. I do most of my banking via ATM anyway as I live halfway across town from my credit union, but the post office is only a few blocks from there so I can do all the check gathering and depositing in one trip once a week. However, I suppose if sponsors offered some way of printing out a "payment receipt" or check stub online, Epassporte wouldn't be bad...

I'm just not comfortable handing out my banking information to anybody who asks for it. I've recently been the victim of identity theft and I guess I'm a little paranoid now. Once per lifetime is more than enough for that BS

[HappySmut]

i like checks because they give me something to rub on my belly when the old people in the bank stare at me...

[Lori_Anderson]

I prefer checks

[lukaz]

i prefer wire.
the charges for cashing non EU cheques are ridiciously high

[IwantU Bryan]

I would have to pick Epassporte

[Toby]

I *love* getting money in the mail. Check please!

[Senator]

Direct Deposit because fast and instant. On the down side, I had ARS remove money from my business bank account. Not cool

[Certifiedbitch]

i prefer ePassporte because it's hassle free.

That's my cue.

Well.. it really is very simple.

Get an ePassporte Personal Account - Either go to https://www.epassporte.com/ and get one, or find a sponsor that will give you one. You can get a Virtual account issued to you within minutes.

Tell your sponsors that you wish to be paid by ePassporte and give them your ePassporte account username. That is all they need. -- You can use the same ePassporte account with each sponsor you promote.

Sponsors will push payments onto your account on their usual schedule.







BUT...............

-> You get your payment instantly. No waiting for mail, no lost mail, no worry about the check clearing, no updating your address with sponsor.

-> You receive your money at no cost to you (unlike PayPal who takes a fee for receiving the money for you).

-> You can shop online and spend your money with your Virtual Visa.

-> You can add an Electron Card to your account and pull cash from ATM's or shop at your favorite stores.

-> You can send money to any other ePassporte account holder instantly, anywhere in the world, for less than the cost of a stamp. (P2P)

-> You have a documented transaction history online so that you can print out for your records.

-> You can increase your limits based on your particular needs.

-> US account holders may transfer funds to their US bank account.

-> No Internet access? No problem! You can check your balance, transfer funds, or re-load your account from your mobile phone.

Cheaper than wires, faster than checks. The Power of Visa.

How many more reasons do you really need?

Well said, Rand. In my opinion, epassporte is by far, second to none. Except for maybe beer and blowjobs.

When I finally broke down and went to get an ePassporte account and looked at a free one from a sponsor but I didn't like the way my account would have been so I just went to ePassporte and got an account. Simple, painless, got just the account name I wanted. It did cost a couple of dollars, can't remember exactly but it wasn't much, I got the extra card and stuff.

I got a tax question about ePassporte.
I'm a corporation so my sponsors have corporation tax ID. If a sponsor pays me by check it goes into my corporation's account and if I want to personally use that money I have to take it out as salary so I have to pay taxes on it. ePassporte I just take it out with the ATM card and it seems to me that I have unreported income since I've basically been given cash with no real records since you are not required to file anything when a business is making out checks to a corporation. Nothing really filed on me as payments and well cash is…

Not that I would ever cheat on my taxes and not report all my income or anything.

Cleo - I'm not exactly sure I understand your question. But, I'm in no poistion to offer anyone tax advice. You may want to confer with your accountant.

I know how ePassporte works, but I still prefer a check.

The proper way to do it is to get your business bank account added to your ePassporte account & transfer the funds that way.

Yeah, but it sounds to me like you would prefer horses over cars

No - to me it's just another step in the process. You'll never have every sponsor paying via ePassporte, so I have to take the money from there & put it where it belongs - I'm doing that with checks anyway, so this does technically add another step. That & there are limits as far as the amounts & whatnot, which might interfere with me transferring large amounts to my regular bank account, not to mention the fees that come with the transfers on each end.

Sorry - I just don't remember anyone asking for info on ePassporte - let alone a book on the subject. If Storm Pay had come by & posted the same thing I'd have told them off too. We're not like very other board in the world & I like it that way.

[Lunatic]

The only thing I don't like about epassporte is the $2.00 charge most, but not all, sponsors charge. But I still like epassporte the best.

Why are you so sure about it? Maybe it will not be ePassporte, but I bet that every sponsor WILL offer some kind of instant payments based on Visa/MC cards in the near future. Simply because it costs them almost nothing and because a lot of (especially non-US) webmasters demand it.

As in every industry, competition will lower prices.
