I loved epassporte... did the job instead of paypal, my clients use it, I do too... it's good... I get money, withdraw with my card, everyone is happy..
But this here is fuckin bullshit... I went to the atm on the first as I needed to pay some bills I budgeted I'd take from the epass account... DENIED. so I log in, and I get a msg on oct1st saying they are sending a replacement, that other card is active until OCT2006. so I send a msg to support thinking its a mistake, that surely they should have left it active unyil oct is over... but no.. here is the response lol pretty amateur to me to leave a client without his card for some time just for a renewal...

This has to be the worst bull I ever heard... cancelling a card without any transition period in between renewals... you just send a message saying that
1- a new card is renewed automatically (and charged)
2- your old card is now de-activated.
3- we will be mailing a replacement.
who the hell thought of this system where you don't get a transition period? any credit card or accounts I had with anyone, weather it is my visa/mastercard/amex/paypal had a transition period...
I am truly disapointed in this service right now. this is bullshit.
