Firstly, they don't mention their fees anywhere on their site (unlike paypal) so I had to call. I was then told that there was an 8% fee to receive funds. When I replied that I thought that 8% was much higher than what the competition charged I received the reply "but paypal doesn't accept adult anymore". Sounds to me that epassporte is exploiting adult webmasters because many of many of them can't use paypal now. Why should epassporte fees be so much higher for the same service webmasters received before with paypal. I understand that Epassporte also charges 5% to the payor to load their account. Paypal charges nothing. So why is everyone recommending epassporte as the best thing in a long time. I was also shocked to find that when I received the contract that I was required to fax a copy of my passport with my application. This is from a company based offshore in the Carribean. I think a better idea would be for the operators of this company faxing me and every other webmaster using their service a copy of their passports. Sounds to me that they won't be around to long if this is how they conduct business.
