    Fuck Paxum

    I dont keep much money on my Paxum account, I always withdraw the cash after I get some payment from a sponsor. So today I went to take out my $80 and since I am in EU country , I had to guess the exchange rate and amount in Eur in order to get the correct sum. The ATM machines here wont show me the balance and I also pay for this information so its useless for me.

    2 failed transactions = $1 (wrong guess)
    1 succesful withdrawal = $2
    Transfer from checking account to MasterCard = $0.25

    So my $80 costed me $3.25

    + I had just paid the yearly maintenance fee of $45

    Fuck your stupid fees are there any better alternatives? Cash X? Red pass?
    no sig, sorry

    That doesn't seem to high. Why not wait till it is about $500 and withdraw... it's the people who save up $100,000's of dollars and don't withdraw that get screwed.

        I think the ability to walk up to an ATM anywhere in the world and have it give me hundreds of dollars is a miracle. So what if it costs a few bucks.

          So you bitch about Paxum because you can't manage your money? Looks to me like it's your own fault and not theirs. Take some responsibility..

          CashX is dead.

            Next time do the exchange rate before going to the ATM like a normal person.

                Epassporte gave many people a good lesson to not keep money in there.

                The point is I get stupid charges, i.e. for just getting the information about my balance.

                When I use my bank VISA or MC card I get charged a few cents for widthrawal, not $2.

                      Any news on Red Pass? When are they going to launch it finally?

                        Yeah, normal person wears a calculator with him all the time and keep an eye on the rates every day in case of going to the ATM for $80.

                          Indeed... our lesson was to never use any of these services again. Even Paypal sketches me.

                            No, a normal person goes to http://www.paxum.com/ to see the balance and then goes to http://www.xe.com/ucc/ to convert the currency before leaving the house. A normal person also withdraws slightly less than the paxum balance because he/she knows there will be rate fluctuations/conversion fees charged by the bank.

                            If you don't want to plan ahead then stop bitching about failed transaction fees.

                                  most banks in america charge more than that for a withdrawal...

                                  if I want to withdraw money from another bank's atm, then I have to pay $2-3 to that bank, in addition to paying $4 to my bank for using another bank's atm. So it comes up to anywhere from 4 to 7 dollars per withdrawal...

                                    That's the reason I said withdraw at $500 increments... not $80. $3.25 of $500 is .oo6 or .6 % of the withdrawel which is nothing

                                      Paxum charge fees because they are a BUSINESS.

                                      Businesses stay in business and you don't lose your money BECAUSE they act like a business and charge fees.

                                      That said, bitching about $3.25 fees is actually pretty sad.

                                                The point is I get stupid charges, i.e. for just getting the information about my balance.

                                                When I use my bank VISA or MC card I get charged a few cents for widthrawal, not $2.
                                                Dude, come on. Sure, a lot of ppl got fucked by epass and you should not keep high amounts of money in your Paxum account. But withdrawing when you have just $80 in it? That's paranoid!

                                                Don't wanna sound arrogant here, but that's pocket change.

                                                        You are actually complaining about having to pay $2.25 to withdraw $80 in a different country when you are being given the commodity of getting your money off an ATM and not having to wait days for a bank wire...

A normal person also withdraws slightly less than the paxum balance because he/she knows there will be rate fluctuations/conversion fees charged by the bank.

                                                            If you don't want to plan ahead then stop bitching about failed transaction fees.

Which at the end wont show me the balance anyway. Why the fuck do I pay for it then? I dont fucking care if they give this info online, Epass didnt have to charge money for this.

A normal person also withdraws slightly less than the paxum balance because he/she knows there will be rate fluctuations/conversion fees charged by the bank.

Which at the end wont show me the balance anyway. Why the fuck do I pay for it then? I dont fucking care if they give this info online, Epass didnt have to charge money for this.

The Paxum hate rage has steamed down, Paxum actually works better than many thought it would have and your thread wont get all that backing up like it would have 9 months ago. I use paxum nearly every day at the end of the months I've moved thousands of dollars around and I'm very happy how their system works. So, if you think that your being overcharged for the service the alternative is Paypal, where the fees are a daylight robbery and the risks are high.
