OK. Someone from EP here now. ;-)
You can either choose to use epassporte or not. Same with Pay Pal. I'm sure both have their advantages. But, epassporte was designed to work for the online community and can be accepted as a payment method globally. It also offers some chargeback protection not avaialbe with other high-risk forms of transactions.
An Electron card issuance fee is worth it if it allows you to process surfers that otherwise could not be processed. Period. If you have no interest in getting members signed up that were previously falling into the abyss then don't play. Depending on how you get payments now, you could be paying a wire fee ($15-$30), a UPS fee (~$12), a check fee... etc.... takes the bite out of paying an issuance fee for a card that basically brings you found money.
As far as Paycom payments going to your EP account... that's coming soon! :-)
This product has been a massive achievement launched in record time. It's barely a month old, and the features that WM's suggest will come into affect whenever possible and fairly quickly.
