Am I the only one who got scared off by the constant problems (including the final death) with epassporte? After that happened I now stick with only "old school" methods, even though I'm in a different country to all of the affiliate programs:

- Wire. In 10+ years a couple of wires have mysteriously failed, and were both successful next attempt. Consistently reliable, but expensive.

- Checks. In 15 years a few have come back NSF/account closed, plus some other minor issues. Again archaic but cheaper than wires, and my bank credits them the next day if the value is <$300. (In that case an international cheque actually clears faster than a local one, go figure?)

- Paypal. Don't think there's ever been a prob in 15 years. The exchange rate is pretty shitty.

I can understand that an affiliate program would want to offer what their affiliates desire, but I'm curious whether any other non-USA people have also shied away from these fledgling "instant payment" systems.
