The structure of the fees are in permanent change at the two e-wallets. At least during the times i used them. It seems they look to maximise their profit, but that is what one shoud expect from a company.

The good thing also is that they are announcing the changes quite some time before they get into effect. This alone can save some money for lots of members, if for example they decide to do the transactions before the deadline. For example till december there is the cap, so for big amounts transferred can make a difference.

Posted by Mober: The fact is that both of them skrill-netteler are probably the most trusted when it comes to online wallets. And paypal too. But paypal works mostly with ebay. There are a few online walllets that have emerged lately, but they question is,do you trust them to keep your money there?
I would not trust in many online walllets. Peoples have to trust in the most recognized wallets from all over the world. Small players on the market who have few customers are the most risky. Just like poker rooms where trust in large rooms is visible and in the small rooms very little.

And yet there are a couple sites with very good reviews, with many happy customers. You just have to try them at some point.
And it is a great alternative for example, to have a site that you can transfer money without the rip offs like moneygram and western union, charging you a fortune for each transfer. Lets see how long they will keep having the same fees.

Taxes will continue to have as long as no one comes to make an aggressive competition. There are plenty of wallets on the market but everyone has taxes not too low. I have nothing to do with more online walllets and if i were to choose i would opt for a known name. With these strangers you risk losing money if they declare bankruptcy.

Some payment processing companies are notorious for their outrageous service and handling fees. But people (the sender and/or the recipient) residing in certain countries have no alternative but to use anything available for transferring funds domestically and/or internationally.

besides it is true that in many countries there are limited options for transferring money, there are too many not aware, of cheaper solutions. And if it is a one time transfer that is ok. If it is more than once, you getting ripped.

My only solution is to use Skrill because NetEller i do not have and Party Poker he does not have a license in my country. I need to withdraw with skrill and make a deposit where i want to play this money. This is the only solution for me but is good and i have a variant just like many users.

If you are not making big transfers now the fee is better than it was of course, with it being 1.45 instead of 1.9. So you can say they have taken a better approach, when it comes to members that move less money. They will have to adapt at some point.

everybody can just deposit money on some casino or poker site from skrill and then again deposit small amount with VISA and then withdraw money again on VISA,because you can only withdraw money on last deposit method!

ah well I kinda never used the withdrawal to party poker account option, so maybe it's about time to withdraw to my party account and then donate the hard earned money to random dudes coming from all corners of the world, at least this is better than donate money to alcohol manufacturers I guess...

Credit cards are maybe a solution for some, but they also have high fees and the time to get a cashout with a credit card is too long. I have only used them like a couple of times several years ago and that was it. Stopped, along with the bank cash outs. That was another "theft" there in fees from the bank.
so no other options to me
