    I have ePassporte account, it worked fine but blocked without reason
    I contacted them, even called, sent all archives to verify such as PhotoID, Driver License... but my account is still blocked and not received any replies
    Is ePassporte scam me?
    I thinked ePassporte is well but not now, don't use it. SUCKS

    No, it is not a scam. Check with them why your account is being blocked. They however have a very strict policy.

    I am using it and if Digital River has chosen to use the ePassporte card for its vendors, I am sure that it is very legit.

    Not scam. They are very strict when it comes to activity outside your normal area of buying. May be the reason why it is blocked. Just calmly follow their instructions and you will be OK.

    I have used Epass for ages now without a hitch.

    i have a friend that had used epass on poker related sites... and his card is blocked now... and kayser soze told him that would send him new one... we think that epass has some issues with poker thing and that's why the are blocking so many epass... (thanks god that mine is not blocked so far.)

    I think online gaming is pretty much a taboo activity and probably that is why it is blocked.

    No, ePassporte would not work with Paypal and probably not with eBay. It used to work but ePassporte stop accepting Paypal as a vendor from what they told me because of the high level of frauds on Paypal.

    The ePassporte card works great as an ATM Card in any country which supports Plus.

    The only way that you can get money from sales on eBay is the buyer needs to have an ePassporte account then they can do a ePassporte to ePasspote transfer otherwise it does not accept payment from anyone but yourself.

    ePassporte is more a paying account like a credit card and not one which accepts payments.

    I had my account blocked once because of my fault (changing the address and stuffs...i didnt know they would block if you change the address!!!), Anyways, after i provided all the necessary document, they lifted the block right away.

    Been with them with 2 years now, and i think they're all right. BETTER THAN PAYPAL AT LEAST !!!! IMO, there's no such thing as the "Best" payment processor...they're only good for you if you didnt have any problem with them ;)

    thanks for clearing up the long confusion. much appreciated. as my primary object is to do selling on ebay and then doing domain business at sedo, i need a card that works with ebay, paypal and sedo and i can use that card to withdraw from any atm. do you know any such cards? there is no card that works online provided in my country! i guess i have to use a marchent account to withdraw money from paypal to epassporte? i have heard epay.vg is not good.

    Their customer service is just horrible. Try to search for the contact information of a guy named Keyser Soze. I know I've seen him around some forums and he can straighten it out faster.

    Well, which country are you from ? Maybe you could check with your banks if they have Mastercard Debit Cards. I find that Mastercard Debit Card works exactly like a Credit card while the Visa Debit are a different beast altogether.

    I am a new guy being scammed by Epassporte

    I used them for months without any problem

    I went to an ATM a few days ago to get about $500

    The process stopped due to "technical problems with the bank issuing the card" (ATM said) ...

    So I did not get any $$$

    BUT, of course, those $500 are not on my Epassporte account anymore ...

    Since then I'm communicating with Epassporte on this subject twice a day because I want my $500 back but NO answer from Epassporte

    It really looks like they scam some people with great pleasure

    Just a warning ...

    :mad:

    Almost same happened to me while I was transacting with VMI and they deducted the amount from my balance but I didn't receive cash because of some ATM Machine problem. I contacted VMI and they told me to get the information from the bank, the receipt and stuff and after a long time, almost after 2 months I got my cash back.

    I think you should call ePassporte and tell them about the issue. Also try to get the receipt which you usually get after the transaction. Give them all information and hope this problem will be sorted out.

    Don't Panic. Everything will be alright.

    I've had no problem with epassporte - but I don't use their ATM card (and from your story I won't be getting it in the future) - I just take the money deposited in my epassporte account and bring deposit it into my bank. Sometimes I use their virtual credit card option.
