    Moneybookers fee for withdrawing is €1.80 no matter how much you are withdrawing. Not exactly extortionate:rolleyes:

    It's free for laser, the fee you refer to is for bank tranfers and visa only.

    I switched to moneybookers as a result of this thread (made the mistake of signing up to neteller only a few weeks before finding this thread).

    Happy with it generally, but I have to say this is a bit sh1t:

    Your verification letter was sent to the address registered on your account on 13/10/2009.
    If you have not received your verification letter, please be patient as it can take 2-5 working days to arrive. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that your letter will arrive. If this is the case then your address cannot be verified.


    ffs, I get all my other mail, re-send.

    I've only recently joined up to Moneybookers and I made my first deposit to a poker site this morning.


    On XE.com $1000 = €695 today.
    I understand that there would be slight differences and expected maybe a few euro extra, but €712 was taken out of my MB account.

    Who is getting this €17? How much of it is a charg and how much is a poor exchange rate? Is it MoneyBookers charging the terrible exchange rate, or is it the poker skin?

    Perhaps this is standard, I never really paid much attention to it before when using my credit card...not sure why I checked it today.

    xe.com gives you the mid rate it is not the rate you would get when changing money:

    Moneybookers exchange rate is only a tiny bit worse than the market rates, but they charge 1.99% for "possible currency fluctuations" or something.

    I was under the impression that with moneybookers, you could withdraw funds to credit card unrelated to the amount you had deposited via credit card.

    But right now it says I can only withdraw a very small amount (a fraction of my balance).
    Actually, the amount I'm allowed withdraw is actually smaller than what I've deposited.
    Can anyone clarify if I was wrong originally?

    It's the main reason I signed up...


    Edit: Also, the amount it says I can withdraw via credit changes sometimes when I click back in, anywhere from $117, now it says 60cent.
    Weird.
