Stormpay or epassport?
 
Who do you prefer as a Paypal alternative?

Hugs,
Danielle

Tipsy 05-18-2003 03:57 AM

Neither.

Storm pay is currently as good as useless because nobody much supports/uses it. It seems likely to remain that way for some time too. Also far to difficult to get money into the account from the little I've read.

Epassporte is no use for me until they get a sensible signup process in place. Certaily seems to have better features though if a tad expensive in places.

It'll probably be epassporte if/when I can actually join it but at this moment in time...

JamesK 05-18-2003 04:02 AM

epassporte is good but a few big processors decline the cc, that's a bit shitty.

Danielle 05-18-2003 08:57 PM

So far it looks about 50/50.

Hugs,
Danielle

and make no mistakes

Everyone's circumstances are different.

You can easily fund StormPay by the way. And its growing at a faster rate than PayPal did when it started.

The StormPay user base is already in 6 figures. I don't know what ePassporte's is because no one has responded on that number.

In today's global markets, any solution not covering each and every country in the world means trouble. So my vote goes for Stormpay, even over Paypal

alan-l 05-18-2003 09:10 PM

however, epassporte is a good idea, once they fix all the troubles they have outside US

pnor 05-18-2003 09:13 PM

13-7 til now... I predict a shitload or epassport "supporters" coming by storm :winkwink:

Kimmykim 05-18-2003 09:14 PM

My only comments are these.
1. ePassporte is NOT a multi level marketing plan. Something that Visa frowns on.
2. Visa plays an enormous role in the dev and growth of ePassporte. One of the consultants on staff spent more than 15 years working with Visa if I recall correctly (if not I am close), and Visa Int'l actually oversees the deposits on ePassporte so there's no danger of acquiring or issuing closing us down since we've already cleared the rules before we do things.
3. No, eP isn't perfect, of course it's only been around since January. Nearly all the major sponsors have contracts in the works to pay affiliates with eP, and I'm not aware of any that do it with the other one...
4. Last but not least, eP is run by people with a more than intimate knowledge of fraud control in the adult marketplace, which means that there won't be any surprises like suspension of adult transactions like Paypal and Yahoo have done recently.

VISA / MASTERCARD AGREE TO END ALL PROCESSING FOR ONLINE PORNOGRAPHY!

Ouch that is a seriously scary thought.

hey Brad, how's the baby :)

It's really simple, I'm not saying that eP is perfect, just that it's a more than viable option in the scheme of things :)

KRL 05-18-2003 09:31 PM

Try both. That solves this debate easy enough. Then see which ones your customers use the most.

Theo 05-18-2003 09:45 PM

Epassporte has been proved pretty useful to me so far. I have an account with stormpay as well, but I haven't used it yet.

Danielle 05-18-2003 10:16 PM

Seems that stormpay is taking the lead so far. 60/40

I guess the next step I need to do is compare the fees they charge. And the methods provided to take out cash.

Hugs,
Danielle

On StormPay you can take out funds by a check, transfer to the affiliated GlobalPay ATM card or wire transfer to a bank account.

You can deposit funds by 900 #, E-Gold, E-Bullion, an online check deposit from a bank account, NetPay, Via Kagi with MC or Visa, EvoCash, Money Order by Mail, and PrePaidATM.

Transaction processing is:

2.9% plus $0.39 USD per transaction

Withdraw Fees are:

Check from StormPay = $2.00
Check by mail: $2
Electronic Transfer (US Customers) $2
To Global Pay Card: $2

jact 05-18-2003 10:36 PM

Hmm, perhaps I should take another look at StormPay and see if it's a viable option. When one isn't enough, use em all....

Stormpay is starting to look better and better all the time. The fees seem very reasonable.

Looks like there global ATM card is free if I am reading it correct on there site.

Neteller

Tried to get an Epasporte account back at the beginning but the site kept locking up and never got a response to the numerous emails I sent.

psyko514 05-19-2003 01:49 AM

Why not use both?

Global ATM is 39'50$
and they don't do wire transfers out of the US

Any other options?
What about Yambo.biz?

Yeah Kimmy. Really great job. Your Epoch associates, who also operate Epassporte, have done such a great job that their clients may lose Mastercard processing all together.

Shall I go through it all again? Or, are you going to save yourselves the embarassment this time?

So far I've used epassporte which rocks. Yambo also looks damn good. I have an account with them with a bit of cash. :)

Well Stormpays site looks like it has been designed by a 12 year old. If I would be a surfer I would think it was a scam.

I have to agree. I don't like the fact that they're located in the West Indies either.

Quite frankly, there aren't many credible options with either company.

Do you have any idea how many companies are based offshore these days?

No one's located on these islands. Its just where the corps. are registered for legal and taxation purposes.

You think porn guys are going to be living on some little island in the caribbean thats 5 sq. miles?

No. They have colors set right, it looks pretty high-quality yet simple.

Of course not.

I totally understand why they are located overseas. It's for their protection --- but not necessarily for the webmasters.

I just prefer U.S. companies. There's more regulation here. And, if they screw me, I have more avenues --- legal and what not --- for MY protection.

And it's that same regulation that's driven them for the most part offshore.

If I had to choose between ePassport and StormPay, I would go with ePassporte definitely.
