    Digital Playground now charges $20 for epass

    at least DDF heard the outcry at $4 and lowered it to $2..

    But DP is standing strong and saying they are "incurring bank fees" and will now charge $20 for epass...an $18 profit...

    dont believe me...straight from Farley:

    Hi.
    We did just change our policy to a $20 fee for epass. due to excessive bank fees that we've been incurring.
    The site will reflect the same in the sign up form shortly.

    A number of affiliates have switched to pay by check for this reason.

    Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause webmasters.

    Please contact me personally if anyone has questions or needs support.

    Thanks


    Regards,
    Farley

          Yeah, I received that DDF email last week and was surprised there was not more GFY outrage to be frank. I did see it mentioned a few other places.

          I think it's a taste of things to come.

                      They're idiots. If 1 webmaster who rakes in like, 2k a month with them decides to leave then they've lost ALL of the extra money they're getting from 'bank fees'.

                      Really bad move for them.

                          But does it really?

                          They want to sideskirt the method while profiting off of the transition...

                              DO you think if an affiliate is making 2k a month they wont simply change it over to check or just take the cut?

                              Oh wait... i forgot about all those offshore bankless affiliates that piss and shit single 2k/month revenue sources.

                                  I fucking hate going to the bank, but I wouldnt drop them because of it. But if they are bleeding money from epass bank fees then I would suspect there are more problems than that.

I for one know I'd rather pay a WM via ePass than cutting a check. And by the time you add up all the costs associated with checks, you've just spent more than the ePass fee.

Why not just say they'll no longer be offering epass at all? And if they have established, trusted affiliates using epass they should make exceptions for them because the $20 fee is crazy.

                                                                                                              Maybe they recently got slammed with fraud and this is the reaction...

I have never once advertised digital playground... I did design a small package for them over a year ago. My comment was in reference to you not knowing who one of THE BIGGEST adult dvd companies in the industry was. Jesse Jane? Ever heard of her? PIRATES, the adult movie?

It usually takes no more than 5-7 days to get to me. I leave the house on a regular basis, I go through the bank drive through once a week or so which takes me a whole 5 minutes. I deposit the checks. wow thats hard..

                                                                                                                                                                                          Now if a company is willing to send me a wire for free, i'll be glad to accept it. But I think you have to be an idiot to pay $20 - $30 to receive your money. Do the math, even if it is bi weekly, that is still 26 times a year. Now say you promote 5 different companies. I don't care how much you make if you want to piss away $2,000 - $3,000 a year in just fees so you can collect your money a couple days earlier, then you are an idiot. I don't know how hard it is to cash checks in other countries, I am speaking as someone living in the US. It is rather simple here. open mail box. open enevelope, next time i pass the bank (which is almost every other day) spend a couple minutes in drive though, deposit check, save a couple thousand dollars. Doesn't seem like rocket science to me.

It usually takes no more than 5-7 days to get to me. I leave the house on a regular basis, I go through the bank drive through once a week or so which takes me a whole 5 minutes. I deposit the checks. wow thats hard..

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Now if a company is willing to send me a wire for free, i'll be glad to accept it. But I think you have to be an idiot to pay $20 - $30 to receive your money. Do the math, even if it is bi weekly, that is still 26 times a year. Now say you promote 5 different companies. I don't care how much you make if you want to piss away $2,000 - $3,000 a year in just fees so you can collect your money a couple days earlier, then you are an idiot. I don't know how hard it is to cash checks in other countries, I am speaking as someone living in the US. It is rather simple here. open mail box. open enevelope, next time i pass the bank (which is almost every other day) spend a couple minutes in drive though, deposit check, save a couple thousand dollars. Doesn't seem like rocket science to me.
