Epassporte - still lame after all these years

[Toby]

A bit frustrated with ePass myself.

I have just one non-US sponsor that pays me via ePass. Getting the funds out of the ePass system is a pain.

I don't have an ePass debit to withdrawl the funds via ATM, that $35 annual fee is BS.

They won't do a wire transfer for less than $1000, and they charge $50 for that.

You can now have funds credited to a debit or Visa card, but when you try to validate a card online you get a message that it must be done manually and you must phone to get the proper forms.

Major league pain in the ass.

I guess I'll have to resort to hitting someone up for a ePass/PayPal swap.

Chris Mallick has made it very clear that if your not one of his beautiful people he really doesnt give a fuck.

Besides hes off shooting movies about this business in hopes of rewriting history.

To bad for him there are enough of us around to remember what really happened and boards like Oprano with enough of what really happened online for anyone that looks.

Ive said it many times and Ill say it again... that turd is never going to polish no matter how many times you try and shine it.

Fuck epassporte and fuck pompous asshole Chris Mallick.

I was interested in trying the "load to a credit card" function.

Tried to load it to one card - ooops - it's a master card, they won't do master card.

Shrugged - well, thats a wash - then tried to load it to a visa that I have my wife use for her shopping.

Only to get a message that bank doesn't allow it, hahahah.

So, for the moment, I've given up on the idea of using it that way. Anybody try the "load to credit card" and have it work?

I've yet to try withdrawing from an atm with that 'electron' card - but thats next on the agenda. I got the damn thing, might as well see if it works.

I think epassporte works well enough - just a bit finicky.

Epass works fine for me. I withdraw money via the ATM all the time.

I know it sux when you do have a problem though, support is apparently really bad.

Actually, I had a similar problem, they used to accept Mastercard, but I didn't load money too often so didn't notice it. Then tried my visa and my bank didn't want to play nice....so I kind of was frustrated with the load money feature.

However, I absolutely needed to load it one night to buy a domain from someone and I hate asking for paypal/epass transfers. So, I got one of those, umm, visa cards you can load up with $ and used that. Still it was annoying as fuck.

On the whole though I don't mind epass, it's a little quirky, but it's not like there's a lot of choices.

I haven't got around to actually getting any yet. There are Payoneer(MC) & RevUpCard(MC).

As far as ePass it doesn't work anywhere online that I want to spend money, and it's only good for ATM use here.

Are you using your virtual account? A friend couldn't buy domains with it and they were using the number on the plastic and not the virtual account. I've actually only had one or two places cough up a fit about epass online. Basically I've used it to buy domains, amazon, etc, etc, and haven't had an issue with it there. Hey, I've even paid for pizza with it, lol.

Yeah epassporte blows.It is sort of neat to be able to use it like a visa credit card and buy stuff online though.
