Epassporte - Same visa headaches
 

Everybody's been suggesting that epassporte is the solution to Paypal pulling out of adult. Nobody denies paypal pulled out of adult because visa forced them to. Why should Epassporte be any different?

I give them 2 months. Willing to place bets.

How much?

I'm willing to bet you are right also!

he he.....

I believe epassporte is based in Curacao and not the US. So it is not bound by VISA US regulation.

Only a matter of time before VISA Int. lays down the smack

Think about how long PayPal was really in the adult business. A year? A little more? My guess would be that they did not know how to manage it, and, that they got out for PR purposes.

Whatever the reason, one processor has nothing to do with the other.

:2 cents:

:thumbsup


Time to put up or shut up now, gripcash.

epassport has their game on lock

why whine, if they are going to go down, they are going to go down, nothing more you can do

profit while you can in this business, then move on to the next.

i'll put some bets down

if you have $50,000 to put in an escrow, i'll throw it against ya

and i am sure kimmy and a few others at epoch will match my bet and raise you $400,000 :)

:thumbsup

EP's Visa Electron doesen't work at most PIN based merchants here(almost at no gas station), I haven't found content possible to pay for by their virtual Visa, which is rejected by almost evryone. Maybe they should do some fixes before selling their product. It looks like, that it's in beta test, but it isn't.
Stats on their site is full of errors(for example, $450 - 106 CZK = $344(don't shave money, just stats error). I've heard from some of my friends, that they had blocked their account without any reason. Last month they charged me twice for one transaction, saying, that the mrchant precharged me & then charged me second time & that the first transaction will be canceled in 30 days. That's Visa's rule according to their words, but why my bank never did it, when it's Visa's rule & not EP fault?
Sorry, but i haven't seen such a unprofessional product released online since the "dot com boom" ended.

once you understand the concept of epassport, and the banking structure, and everything factors in you will understand it is a different and better setup than paypal

Epassporte should do ok. I would suggest getting your atm / pin card upgraded though so you can make POS purchases without a pin code. Just like a visa check / debit card.

I hear the paypal mastercard is real popular.

remember how flawed old windows os's were when they first came out, they are still around, still making billions

Someone help me, where has it been stated that VISA made Paypal stop processing adult?

Could it be that Paypal made this decision on their own?

Clay,

Paypal stopped on there own. New Owners, Republican Admin, PR reasons, etc, etc.

Exactly.

i think what may be wise since alot of people are optimistic is epoch go on a few radio shows, and start a few threads on the boards and totaly explain how epassport works , and how they are solidly structured and more people will understand

would be the good route to go down

Talking out ya ass again? I love it.

Like talking to a rock.

Clay, Epoch,

don't take this wrong, but for awhile I have been thinking you might consider changing the name from epassporte to something a little easier. If this is going to be small and just for adult, well then it's ok. but if you plan on alot of market share, that name is hard to remember, and for alot the spelling will be tough.

Look at pete, he just spelled it, epassport, as many will spell that way.

thanks

Todd

Grip,

So we're at i'd say about $450,000.00 USD bet

care to take it? or care to research more and understand that epassport will stay around, and does work and benefit our industry greatly.

Good suggestion STP.

We do have some ideas about getting the good word out.

Anyone who has a question you think should be addressed please drop me a line.
Epassporte can learn as much from your questions as WM's do from the answers.

todd,

i'm just drunk :Graucho
*kidding*

but yeah, i know there is an e at the end, i just don't want to french it out hehe

:eek7 .. I think you're betting money for people that don't have it lol ...

and Yeah paypal didn't get "shutdown",they basically backed out.
epassporte should be solid for the long term since a lot of people involved are actually in the adult business as well...Paypal really wasn't and therefore really didn't give a fuck

I know Pete,

but others might make a spelling mistake quite a bit.

I see they own epassport.com also, so mabey more branding with that domain :)

Heres a question,

If i am moving large amounts of funds through your services and i decide to cash my account out, can i show up at your office and have all the hundreds stacked and counted in a black briefcase in under 24 hours?

And if so, what is the surcharge, and don't tell me you want a vig for the briefcase. Business expense.

Todd honey, you know I love you, but you spelled maybe wrong.

You gotta get across the border first you know ;)

Fuck, is this a spelling bee or a chat board?

I'm lost:winkwink:

Kimmy,

I spelled epassport.com wrong?

Looks like you guys own it?

Kimmykim,

I'll hide in your shoe suitcase :)

It goes to the exact same place Todd :)

But what will I do with all my shoes?

Kimmy,

I know it does :)

Just saying for branding purpose, mabey not use the E at the end??


np :)

we'll sell them on ebay

i'll get a astin martin db7 from it

& i'll even throw in some good deep dickin for ya :1orglaugh

So STP just wandered into my office and said there was some easy .money to be made here! :)


I'll get Manny to carry them

easy money

only if your ass up baby!

I checked out their website and called them. I was told that they are rebuilding their website and from what I gather it is like a prepaid phone card, you put money into the account and then use it. I don't know if this will fly with surfers.
