Getting an international wire in Russian Federation is almost as buying a direct ticket to jail. Especially if that wire is for adult services. Not to mention that you have to declare it everywhere to get your money. Same shit in Ukraine. You have to sell an arm and a leg to get a wire there. Prove your source of income, show invoices, etc etc.
Cheques? Are you kidding me? "WTF is that?" says a bank clerk.
Paypal? Can't withraw money in these two countries.
And I'm talking about 2 of the biggest sources of webmasters judging by the sums they have stuck on Epassporte. (Which in fact too did not officially support these two countries).
So to sum up, yeah, checks and wires are great. But its really bad for anyone to the east Poland, and to the West of Alaska. Only these guys had like 70% of the money stuck on Epassporte..

It doesn't mean that Russia and Ukraine is two of the biggest sources of webmasters, it just means that a large % of webmasters in those countries use epass for the reasons you stated. Where as the large amount using it in the US was probably to try to avoid paying taxes. There is no reason anyone in the US had to use epass, they could have received checks and deposited them with no costs.
