Instead of stopping processing they will make a deal with ePassporte to load an ePassporte "card" with the customers credit card for the amount of the transaction. Now if they chargeback they are doing it to ePassporte, NOT the processor. ePassporte is now assuming the risk.

My example may be too simplified or even possibly a bit off. Nobody seems to talk about it here, but it has been mentioned various times before in posts... but never the topic.
Is that still going on? I thought once epoch and epass severed ties that it ended.

Regardless, my post still stands. The "addicts" and consumers have no idea what goes on behind the scenes, they're using their regular ol visa and mastercard to get access to porn, not epass.
