Bad news from ePassporte

I'm running an affiliate program and the last four days have been chaotic. many affiliates that used to get paid through epassporte are really pissed off..
we are trying to find alternatives. any suggestions?
I work in the adult industry btw
thanks

Payoneer.com would be an option. They've got a prepaid card (mastercard), so your affiliates will be able to withdraw their money that way. (no easy p2p option like epass has though).

Payoneer Sponsors has a list with adult affiliate program using payoneer and you'll be able to find several discussions about the use of payoneer on the adult boards (like gfy (no spam) ) as a lot of programs are in the same boat as you.
 


I guess I don't understand the issue? I have an ePassporte account and I just withdrew my funds to my bank account. No money lost ...

money in the epass wallet can be accessed. Money in the virtual Visa (default setting) can't.
 
it's worrying for me because I'm non US, so I don't have the bank account option.

If they don't come up with another debit card option, then I'm screwed basically.
 
Can't you move the money from your virtual visa to your ewallet, then withdraw to your bank account?

You could until the problems with Visa came out and now any money in the virtual Visa is frozen. Virtual Visa was the default setting for incoming funds.
 
Well, it's been a while already and no one has news about this issue... I am running an affiliate network and many of our affiliates are using ePassporte.

At this point we presented 3 options:
a) Webmoney
b) Wire transfer with a real low minimum
c) Hold the funds to see what's going on with ePassporte.

Most of my affiliates chose options b or c.

I believe this will be solved sooner than later.

Cheers!
 
epassporte are lying bastards.

I don't beleive anything they say.

It's unlikely that visa has abruptedly pulled the plug, there msut've been some concerns with visa long before and nogotiations fell through and visa pulle dthe plug. They had plenty of time to warn their customers. But they didn't, they kept quiet and let out money just dissapear.

Next they told us in a matter of weeks the accounts will be reinstated and not to panic etc.

Then we got another update saying that the visa card are just days away from being reinstated.

And boom, now they visa balance doesn't even show up on epassporte any more. Visa had taken away our money, and likely we'll never see it again..

Fuck you epassporte.
 
to add insult to injury, epassporte say "don't post on forums regarding this, your usernames may get leaked and that may put your account at roiisk" LOL

Fuck you epassporte, my username is different here, and chances are I'll never see my money so what difference does it make??
 
we've started using paxum and it seems to work really well (including all the functionality of epassporte)
 
I think this is just the beginning. There is a lot of shit bound to happen in 2011, Better lock up your bitches soon folks.
 
waiting

Is anyone else still waiting for their money. I gave a gift to someone who never got the card. goodbye $500 to st kitts bank or the us government.
