I'd love to be able to pay hosting and other things with epassporte rather than using my regular credit card. Will this ever be fixed?

Ramster, you need to remember that there are two components to every Epassporte account. First, you receive via email an instant virtual Visa account which is ready for immediate use. This account may only be used for online transactions (it's bin number is set to accept only online trans). I've used it to buy several things online. It is a Visa account and works everywhere Visa is accepted online *except* for high risk 5967 transactions unless (currently) they are processed by Epoch. The second component is the Visa Electron Card. The Electron card may not be used online, but is for use shopping anywhere Visa is accepted and the merchant processes their transactions via card swipe. Again, I use mine all the time.

Just make sure you are using the right account based on your purchase. The Virtual Visa for online, and Electron card at your local store.

If you're having trouble with your specific account, drop me a line and I will look into it.
