Life is too short to let things like this bug you.
Let's see.......
There *is* a way to request a check, but it doesn't make any sense. Checks are "
so last century ". There's no point unless you are dealing wth very large sums of money. The cost of an Electron card so that you can withdraw the funds at any ATM in the world whenever you want makes much more sense. No waitng on the mail, no waiting on the check to clear, no worries that the check won't be honored, no worries with address changes, etc.... Really, how many reasons do you need?
A balance in your ePassporte account means you can shop online whenever you want, or shop around town whenever you want, or withdraw funds from any ATM whenever you want. There is no reason to move that money unless you need it to pay someone else. And, if that person has an ePassporte account, you simply P2P the payment to them for 25 cents and it's done. Cheaper than a stamp and faster than a speeding bullet.
If I'm missing the point, feel free to let me know what your concern is. Otherwise, I really don't understand the complaint.
