Large transactions using Epassporte....Anything to worry about?
 

We are doing a rather large international deal. For such a transaction your options are limited...

The client and I have talked about doing Epassporte. Its a large enough deal that I am not real concerned with theh 100 bucks it will end up costing to transfer to our bank account...

So...is there anything we need to look out for...i dont want to see the funds in our epass...release the product and then somehow get screwed...

I trust the client but you can never be too careful...

Anyone have any insight?

How large?

If its that sizeable, what about a wire transfer? $100 in bank fees sound about right for a wire as well.
WG

5 figures (teens)

Just that the client is ready to move on things...Epass is fast, easy....Just wondering if there is anything i need to look out for is all

if it is legit why not get in touch with Rand or jeff and discuss it let them know etc..shouldnt be a problem though

i have their contact info if you need it..tomorrow

I was trying to send someone 5k and they wanted way too much info to do it(had to do some weird verification thing). Plus the cost's are so high. Id just wire it.

bank wire :2 cents:

Are Rand and Jeff from EPassporte?

yes :thumbsup

I'd love to get their info. Could you icq me when you get a chance?
Thanks :thumbsup

I'd go with bank wire. Why would you involve a third party?

The quick and easy aspect...have it done...move forward with the contract versus waiting for an international wire transfer

but if you are worried why take the chance?
do it by wire and its safe
yes it will take a few days but does that really matter?
Or talk to rand i am sure he will help you in anyway he can

Anyone have the epass guy's contact info? Its worth atleast seeing what they have to say I figure...

Rand @ ePassporte.com
is his email if i am not wrong

i think for 5 figures amount...better deal with a bank..do it via wire transfer.

I think epassporte is really best for payments under $5000, anything over that and I would go with escrow or wire transfer.

Okay...maybe bank is the way to go...


Is there anything you need to be worried about in giving out bank accoutn #'s and routing #'s etc... ?

Use an escrow service.

Escrow.com is a good one.

I worked in wholesale import/export brokerage about 5 years ago and there were major problems with escrow.com back then...I wonder if all thats been fixed up

I think it will all be a mute point...but i just dont want to make a bonehead mistake...

good luck
