EwalletXpress "temporarily" suspends service

[villaridge]

I just heard about this, and confirmed with their chat support. Shame to see. I know a lot of us use them for poker funding:
peter rothe: i heard that you guys are not doing merchant payouts from Poker sites anymore. Is this true?

You are now speaking with John-Henry of Customer Service.
John-Henry: Hello
peter rothe: hi
John-Henry: temporarily we are no longer accepting merchant payouts. eWalletXpress apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause you.
peter rothe: any idea on how long this is for?
John-Henry: No sorry.
peter rothe: Is this just Poker sites or all other merchants?
John-Henry: All merchants.
peter rothe: ok, thank you, and good luck

That is wierd. Never had to use Ewallet before, but I know people are using all sorts of alternative routes to get money in and out of poker. Since this is the way US gov has decided to hassle us. Maybe they could use taxes from online poker companies to fun the new health care system.

Neteller and ePassporte also "temporarily" suspended service and, of course, "apologized for any inconvenience."

[Logan]

But neteller is suspended for Us accounts only right?

[villaridge]

Right Logan. This is only an "USA" issue

[pooterguy]

Yes, most of the free world doesn't have this problem.

[Logan]

Its a shame that this happen in the "Land of the Free"

Read this last days that some poker rooms are offering Pay Pal, don't know how convening is that for you guys.

I was able to do a payout from Cake to ewallet today. Talked to Customer Service, they apologized for the technical glitches and said that everything was up and running again, so they should be accepting merchant payouts now.
