Epik Escrow: Have Been Facing Unusual Delay & Poor Assistance in Masterbucks Withdrawal

[Saleh.ahmed]

I'm a first-time Epik escrow user and sold a website last month. Once the transfer of the domain and files have been completed, the fund was added to Masterbucks in 23rd August.

I made the withdrawal to a US bank account(ACH transfer) and was asked for manual verification. Upon verification, the withdrawal request was 'Accepted'. And that took place in the 27th of August.

Since then, it's been almost three weeks and the status is still the same. I've asked in the support for more than 7-8 times about the status and each time they notified me that the issue was raised to the management/accounts. But I NEVER had a response or status update from them. I've also contacted Tony who's the Escrow Manager at Epik and he also failed to provide me an actual update.

I asked my bank but they do see any such money incoming.

It feels so low and helpless to be hung out in dry and it's taking a toll on my business at this point. But none of this actually matters to Epik and they seem to circle around each time I reach out.

@Rob Monster and @epik is it how you always treat customers or it's just my dumb luck?

Please Explain

Keep us posted. Epik sub forum needed boss(es)

There is no progress, Masterbooks does not work, it is impossible to get money, Tony has gone into hiding.

Masterbucks maintenance cannot cause non-payment of money.

They emailed us. Looks like after the merge and upgrade is complete they will start processing payments, in order on Oct 10th

There is a lot more discussion of possible payments, dates, Masterbucks and other Epik issues in the other thread here https://www.namepros.com/threads/th...from-epik-com-via-masterbucks-wallet.1284050/

Hi

can you say how much you are due to receive?

Thanks

imo...

It's not much at all. LOL. About $10 or so but still, when I requested funds in the past I would get them within a few days with no problem at all.

Now I see other people are also having issues which is worrying...

Yeah, i recieved it couple of days ago. You haven’t yet? That's surprising! Was it ACH or Paypal?

Did you receive yours through PayPal ?


Because I have the same issue.

Maybe if I change to PayPal I'll receive it quickly

Some of you might want to look at an earlier thread with info about Epik's status as escrow provider: https://www.namepros.com/threads/if...-wasting-time-and-money.1119508/#post-7079604

I'm also new to Epik. I recently completed account verification step. Then, Masterbucks transfer my funds to PayPal. That's it!
Hope your issue will solve.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for responding in here and it's good to have an actual update on the situation.

Since your comment, it's been two more working days, and there's been no change in the situation. Can you give me a real-time date of when the withdrawal will be disbursed from masterbucks?

Hello Saleh Ahmed,

Are you from Bangladesh? How to Use ACH? Can I transfer money from Epik via Payoneer? what to do I have no idea. is it like I will provide my Payoneer bank address (USA) on Epik?? or anything else? But surprisingly I don't see any option... I have only Paypal and wire transfer. Thanks

Hi Maheen,

Yeah, I'm from Bangladesh and to do the ACH I had to use a US bank detail that I received when registering my company as an LLC in the state of Delwar.

Also, they don't allow sending ACH to virtual bank accounts like those provided by Payoneer. So for ACH, real bank account is the only go-to. Other methods such as Paypal, and crypto will charge you higher per epik's recent update.

 

[maheen]

Nope, no luck so far regarding the withdrawal. I've been told that they'll give me an update but that's yet to receive.

And sorry to hear about your situation. I can relate to it big time.

Did you get your money. Today I just submit my review on TRuspilot, can't wait more

 

[biggie]

Same here.

Still waiting for payment from Masterbucks. I put in a request to get funds transferred into my bank account on 10/17/22. Did all the manual verification that they asked and the system said my ID was verified successfully.

Emailed customer service and was told basically give it more time. I have still not been paid as of this message. Glad I found this thread.

Have you guys receive your money? Heard they paid everyone after about 2 months of delay.

Hello,

Apologies for any inconvenience caused during your recent Masterbucks withdrawal.

The team is making some big changes to help expedite withdrawals from Masterbucks. As of Friday, I can confirm the accounts team were working on all pending withdrawals. Kindly expect your deposits soon.

I have sold website before with Epik and received successfully after some days without verification.

This time, I have completed verification, yet no payment

The worst mistake I ever did was choosing to use Epik as escrow for the sales of my website. The domain and files have since been transferred to my client on 12 September. Withdrawal request made on 13th, and yet Epik is still holding on to my money.

Please, think twice before choosing Epik escrow.
