Payout options for european based webmaster?

[OneWhoKnows]

Hi everyone!

I'm still pretty new in the adult webmaster biz - but well, things are getting better and better. I'm signed up with several sponsors for my site. But I still haven't found a good way of payout. Best thing would be to have an account where all payments from all different sponsors are sent to, and from where I can transfer all the money to my local bank account.

Sounds easy to me - but actually it isn't. There aren't many systems which are accepted by most of the sponsors. One of them is fethard.biz! But I read a lot of negative things about them in here and also their fees are pretty high imo.

So I thought epassporte would be best for me. So, I mailed their customer support to ask a few questions that were on my mind - one was if I can transfer money from my epassporte account to my local bank account. The said yes. I mailed again because there were still some questions I had... And the second answer was "Oh sorry, you're based in Europe? We can only transfer money to US banks! But you can buy our Visa Electron card and pay with it."! Yeah very nice. Credit card acceptance over here is very very low in general - not to talk of Visa Electron cards being accepted. So that card would be worthless plastic for me.

So, does anyone have an idea what I can do - besides using expensive wire transfers directly to my bank account at every sponsor? You have any other idea how I could get the money out of an epassporte account and transfer it to my local bank account?

I'm looking forward to your answers! Thanks in advance already!

So i guess you are in some underdeveloped part of Eastern Europe.
CC acceptance In Belgium, France,... is the same as in the US.

Hehe, no - actually I'm from Germany. It's all about debit cards over here (EC), they are accepted everywhere. But credit cards aren't that common. Only some large stores accept them, but all the supermarkets, smaller stores, etc. don't!

Can't you just go to an ATM (with a visa logo ;) ) and withdraw your money? should work fine.

*LOL* Now that you say it... Yeah, sometimes I'm just plain dumb

And the ATM fee of $2 epassporte charges is VERY low aswell, btw! Do you know if those $2 are for ATM use worldwide, or only in the US? Because if it's worldwide that's awesome. My bank where I have my MasterCard charges a lot more plus a percentage of the money you withdraw at the ATM.

just email them If you want to be sure about the atm fee. they do answer emails once in a while ;)

Hello,

I have the same problem.

I´m located in Spain and it loks like there´s no way to get my money in cash.

What you write here sounds interesting but I still don´t understand it that good.

How exactly is that with ATM?

Transfer from epassporte to ATM and then to my account?

I´m a little bit weird.

[Vachico]

Ok.

I think I got it.

Means I have to get my epassporte visa electron and with this card I can get my money in cash at the ATM in my city?

I´m right or not?

Most sponsors do wire transfers if you ask them. But many only make the wire after you reach a certain amount of money, usually $500.00.

[Vachico]

That´s right but a lot of them international not under $1000

well the sponsors I use and to get $1000 as a newbie and at this time of the year is something like impossible.

With epassporte I get my money under 24 hours and it doesn´t matter how much.

That's correct. I have only come across very few sponsors who have a $1,000 minimum for the wire, but I guess that even $500 would be too much for you to wait for.

[Vachico]

You name it.

Maybe one day if the money comes in at a regular and daily base I can wait for my money up to $500 but not now.

So I have to invest the $35 now to get my electron from epassporte.
