WTF

LiveDose · 10-09-2009, 12:21 PM

Maybe has something to do with someone else whom you've used epass with before. Did you follow up?

fatfoo · 10-09-2009, 12:24 PM

Wow, no reason given. That sucks. Contact Michael, then.

JD · 10-09-2009, 12:24 PM

I got the same FUCKING thing! "Near future" that's bullshit!

Klen · 10-09-2009, 12:27 PM

I didn't get that message,but i see i have only us checking option for loading.

frank7799 · 10-09-2009, 12:39 PM

I got it also. Seems to be a problem between epassporte and the credit card companies.

ProG · 10-09-2009, 12:43 PM

Don't worry it's just the IRS doing their audit.

punkpred · 10-09-2009, 12:46 PM

debbieN · 10-09-2009, 12:49 PM

I have never liked dealing with them and have asked all the webmasters to give me another option for payments.

nothing has ever happened.

not the end of the world though, maybe I will win a nobel prize next week and take care of my bill and investment issues.

Well that´s the only thing what happened. The ability to load from credit cards is gone. Only US check accounts work. They didn´t close the accounts. the thread title is misleading.

HunkyLuke · 10-09-2009, 02:05 PM

same here....good to see its not just me

debbieN · 10-09-2009, 03:11 PM

the ONLY reason I use them is for specific TGPs that have paid submissions. If not for these I would never use them.

JD · 10-09-2009, 03:16 PM

still no reply via icq/email from michael o

After Shock Media · 10-09-2009, 03:18 PM

It was why I stopped using it a year plus ago. My bank blocked my ability to send them money via debit, wire, or check. Nor would they accept money from them.

CYF · 10-09-2009, 03:29 PM

I got the same message, I assume everyone did.

I still have the option to load via my checking account.

bigalownz · 10-09-2009, 03:51 PM

nope i didnt

Cyber Fucker · 10-09-2009, 04:04 PM

There is option of paypal to epass exchange too.

Wouldnt that be through a 3rd party person who will charge you usury fees?

JD · 10-09-2009, 05:22 PM

Michael (ePassporte)
5:16
Hi
What can I do for you?

JD
5:17
trying to figure out why my load options have been cut

Michael (ePassporte)
5:17
We must temporarily suspend
loading/reloading via credit/debit card due to circumstances outside of
ePassporte's control. This is a temporary situation which we expect will be
resolved in the near future. We apologize for any inconvenience that this
situation may cause you.

JD
5:18
yeah i read that... i want to know what "near future" means.

Michael (ePassporte)
5:18
We do not have a date yet on when this feature will be re-instituted.

JD
5:19
so basically we're all screwed til date X comes around...

Michael (ePassporte)
5:19
Yes at this time the only load option is ACH

brassmonkey · 10-09-2009, 05:25 PM

The message were sent to anyone loading their account within the last 60 days only but this is for all accounts.

Hotrocket · 10-09-2009, 06:22 PM

tick tock..

JD · 10-09-2009, 06:35 PM

what's the REASON for shutting people off though Michael?

After Shock Media · 10-09-2009, 06:37 PM

Curious if they lost the merchant.

alias · 10-09-2009, 06:49 PM

Agent 488 · 10-09-2009, 06:52 PM

that would fuck up their gambling biz.

After Shock Media · 10-09-2009, 07:04 PM

Just a slight guess but would not be surprised to see a lot of bitching about late payments by next week. Feel sorry for those sponsors already, especially since even wires could take forever and a day. Guessing wire funding may still be an option, I hope for many of you. I just know many sponsors do not always load via wire.

Agent 488 · 10-09-2009, 07:06 PM

most load by wire.

although if any sponsors are going to be delayed by this it would be nice to give their affiliates a heads up.

Just going by what a few said and they told me they were loading off of their CC, they had some reason like points or something.
I do know most do use wire though, thought I did post that. Yeah I did but guessing by saying many load other ways clouded it. I do know first hand still that wires still took awhile and often went into the wire void for a few days to a week.

Agent 488 · 10-09-2009, 07:10 PM

epass business accounts could only be loaded by wire anyway.

After Shock Media · 10-09-2009, 07:14 PM

Then perhaps those that were talking were either stalling or not using a business account. It is why I have left it open ended.

I am curious if wire is an option though.

M. O. said himself it effected all accounts. In the ICQ copy JD posted it said limited to ACH only - in a line M. O. posted.

See why I am curious now?

18teens · 10-09-2009, 07:39 PM

I didn't get that message but a few months ago when I tried loading with my debit card the bank turned my card off. Never tried that again.

This does in NO WAY affect wire loads.

It only affect loads via credit card. ACH loads and wire loads work like usual.
