Epassporte - still lame after all these years

Ah, Epassporte. The most security-laden transaction site in the world. That's a good thing, of course, but when it takes fully 15 minutes to jump through all the login barriers, load money...

And then I find out the money I loaded has gone, with no warning, into my Virtual Visa account instead of my wallet. Ah, there is a customer service email, telling me they did this for my convenience, since I am a major user of my Virtual Visa account (which I have never used, even once).

OK, no problem, I'll just transer the newly-loaded money from there to my wallet. Fine. Now to make that payment to that paid TGP partner account. Check all the details - yep it's all good. Until it bounces back with the uninformative error message "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later."

"Later" gives the same result.

Are there actually sponsors who actually try to use this as a payment method for memberships?
