Fucking Epassporte
 

Was just at this bar and my fucking card was declined. Said "Auth Down" or some shit like that.

I just called support and couldn't understand one word the bitch said so I just hung up. hahahah unbelievable.

People really try to pay with epass at a bar/restaurant?

i only use the card to withdraw money, i would not dare to try it for actually paying something - lol

I have done that hundreds of times with no problem....

In admin its saying account cards cannot be used at present due to maintainance going on etc....guess that was the reason :(

i had problem too now, at the ATM...

Ya I've been using it for dam near everything for lots of years. What?

I just logged into epass and it says this

Some ePassporte functionality is currently undergoing maintenance. Many functions will not be available until maintenance is complete. We apologize for the inconvenience and we are working to resolve this matter immediately.

Due to maintenance, your Virtual/Visa Electron balance is currently not available.

Maybe this is why your card got declined

Yes probably i mean how you will withdraw money if amount is 0 dollars at the moment.

how can a regular bank visa never have decline downtime for maintenance?

Me to supermarkets...stores and virtual visa for online..never a problem.

As I mentioned they are currently just upgrading/updating thier system....guess a pre warning though would have been cool for those currently out and about using thier cards.

You cannot compare bank and epassporte which is just service for virtual money.

I was wondering more about posting at GFY - from a bar/restaurant. :1orglaugh

Who in this thread posted on GFY from a bar/restaurant? Weirdo...

Yeah, was just at the video store and mine was declined. Figured it was because of some processors in Canada turning down "international" Visa and other credit cards due to fraud... anyhow, so I log in and all the text at epass is in red and my account balance is unavailable due to maintenance blabla...

Hey, it happens, just not that often for me to care except the timing sucked lol.

So I found I had real money in my pocket and I used it... so weird.

:D

Or doing it on a Wednesday .....


.

Plus ssh keys style for security and epassporte would be ideal service.

Ya I never had problems with them before but this just pissed me off. I looked in my pocket like u and I only had like 35 cents :) No wallet or license. Just my epass card.

what would be wrong with that?

yeah they said its their regular 2 month thing they do. why do it in the middle of the day. I guess it has to be in the middle of the day somewhere, but still this is BS.

I've paid with ePass card in restaurants, supermarkets, museums, ticket counters, and never had a problem :)

were you drunk when trying to use the card? or were you drunk when posting this? Because I find the title of your posting very aggresive (Fucking Epass) unless you have had the same experience in different ocassions, but if its your first time it's not enough for making such a drama, cmon, we know it sometimes can fail.... But if this is a recurring problem then I see your anger, especially if you were paying booze for a chick! :upsidedow

read the thread? epass is down.

Go Fuck Yourself

.com

same with me!!
I called them, they said they're doing maintenance... could be 24 hours or more :/

carry cash

and I use mine all the time at stores, restuarants etc...
why such a surpise people would?

That would be like using a PayPal debit card to pay for drinks.... yikes.

I only use that card at atms.

online for example it never works, both the physical card and the "virtual" card are declined every time.

at restaurants/shops it's 50/50 chance of working

and why would that be a big deal either?
I often use my paypal debit card to pay for stuff also
credit card is a credit card

working fine now

yeah, seems to be working again

Quick question to you guys

I'm currently trying to get an ePass, when I upload all of my stuff can I withdraw my money straight to a Credit/Debit mastercard?

I don't think the credit card stuff is working right now.

You can withdraw money to a checking account for a $3 fee, it takes a couple days tho.

The fee to withdraw money at an atm is only $2, but the card is $35 a year.

He is mad coz the girl he had with him had to pay haha.

I have $20 missing from my epass when their maintance happend

I got burned a couple of times when using my epass for purchases (both the declined and double charge that sticks around for 30 days issues)... I now stick to withdrawing cash from an ATM. epass's systems are nowhere near as reliable as a bank.

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

I assume the credit card stuff not working is only temp? I plan to have my ePass account on Wednesday, but I want to know if I will be able to withdraw straight to my MasterCard Debit Card.

There were some technical issues yesterday that caused transactions to be declined, we apologize for the inconvenience this caused.

It is still possible to withdraw to a credit card.

Shit happens

same here :pimp

God dam a lot of u people are stupid. Anyways, my card is working now and I'm off to Walmart to go grocery shopping.

Epassporte rocks. I never tried to pay at a bar with it, though.
Just go around the corner to an ATM.

Yeah, epassporte is malfunctional sometimes. For a short period of time they get technical difficulties or whatever.

I'm using my epass for everything and everywhere ... never have problems till now ...

:1orglaugh

Sod's Law (also known as Murphy's Law)

"If anything can go wrong, it will."

ie Meet a hot chick, offer to buy her a drink and then back to yours, she agrees, you pull out the old epassporte card and ......storm home, log into gfy and post a thread about epassporte.

epassporte should issue mastercards, it would make a great "priceless" advert. :winkwink:

Maybe they should send out a fucking email to peoples alternate email address or an SMS message to alert people of this issue so they do not have a problem. Not that not being able to pay for something out of the blue would ever be a real problem for people. Surely it is a less of an issue than sending out a mass mail if they gave a rats ass about people.

Oh and nobody needs to mention security issues, since we all know they can email alternate emails without a security concern if they really cared. Other companies have no issues doing it.

Why not, I use paypal debit all of the time to pay for things. I actually enjoy getting the monthly 2% cash back reward on all signed transactions. I actually pay the majority of my personal living expenses through my paypal debit card.
Not once have I been denied or had the transaction not go through. Then again they actually take the time and understand the FUCKING SIMPLE CONCEPT of both customer service and emailing me at my personal email address about any up coming downtimes.

Last I heard is they have no FUCKING IDEA when they will get it back. They also do not seem to want to give a real public reason for it. Pretty damn clear that it seems they got kicked to the curb by the credit card companies but like I said, they just say it is an ongoing problem.

[qoute=Davy]Epassporte rocks. I never tried to pay at a bar with it, though.

Yeah it sure does fucking rock. Well primarily because it has zero real competition in the adult arena. Plus so many in adult think they can use it to avoid taxes and you get paid by your sponsors so easily for it and they eat the fee's. Where typically you would have to wait a few days to get paid (which you still do with epass but you do not see it). Also you do not have any check fee's.

Lets be honest. If your not an oversea's webmaster epass does not rock. If your in the US and think they rock your hiding shit and just willing to get ass raped nightly. Unless you really would put up with a company that does the following all of the time.

• Randomly denies transactions offline without warning you.
• Has next to zero support and what it calls support is piss poor outsourced 3rd world phone support to techs that not only know nothing but they have zero power to fix anything.
• Makes claims to do things that it rarely does, like make transactions online which almost never work.
• Makes you jump through hoops, send in numerous forms of ID online to get your account approved (card/banking regulations and all) yet tells you your on your own when you get ripped off by another user and SOMEHOW fraud/scam users can get accounts easier than purchasing candy while it will take you weeks plus even more faxing in documents to get your only account.
• Has only 1 employee who seems to make the whole company work or can get anything done with the company and if he in not around or unavailable because he has a life yet no one who can fill in for him to provide support for a company that rakes in millions on transactions alone.
• Still has the audacity to charge you a yearly fee even if you do not need a physical card, and the card itself may cost even more (I honestly forget).
• Charges you a fairly hefty fee to get access to your money even though the non adult equivalent who also has managed to get FDIC insured while they are not can let you do it for free or even pay you cash back in comparison, since the non adult one is happy enough making money just one way.
• Compared to the non adult one still charges a fee for a card that only lasts a year while the non adult one gives free cards that last more than a year plus no yearly fee for access.
• Non adult one also has throw away card numbers for online use, offers insurance, person to person transaction dispute abilities, FDIC insurance, anti fraud devices and a team on payroll for anti fraud measures.
• List could keep going on.

Yet they ROCK! Fucking come on and be serious. They far from rock and honestly know they only have to give you barely enough of a service to get buy and people will still nurse at their weeping anal juice soaked cock, since they have no real competition to make them give a rats ass about you.
