Not the same, as far as I know you can open an account yourself only if you're a US citizen. For other locations all accounts are supposed to be created by the companies which are Payoneer's clients already. So far off hand I can name only a few programs already using Payoneer as a payment option. So now imagine how much time it will take other companies to set it up and webmasters to get the cards and start using Payoneer on a regular basis.
Plus their ridiculous ATM transaction fees for withdrawals outside of the US leave you with 2 choices - wiring the money to your bank account (not an option for smaller webmasters because of the $30 fee so they have to accumulate a decent sum of money on the account before requesting the wire) or paying with your CC instead of cash. But Europeans aren't used to using CC everywhere like Americans, cash is still preferred for small purchases.
While ePass is good for all 3 options - ATM withdrawals, wires and swipe use.
