easier, faster and less fees. sounds great ok thanks doomdy. i just made an moneybooker account. looks like they dont want my ID per mail but they gonna send me a letter with a verificationcode!? hope it wont take as long as on neteller...that was a torture.
Moneybookers is definitely cheaper but I prefer Neteller because of the Mastercard offered. I like to have the immediate access to the funds which I can get thanks to ATMs and this card. I don't recommend this method for small amounts but everything of $100+ is worth considering...

Well, moneybookers is supporting visa, mastercards and all other major credit cards. So, I will continue to stick with moneybookers for its low fees. It cut only $2.5 fee for any amount of withdrawal to my bank account.

Neteller are annoying. They requested ID from me 3 times before they'd accept. I emailed to say I gave up on them and will be using moneybookers instead. Right away the mail back saying my ID is now ok and they just need to ring to confirm my phone number ... Ok ... they keep emailing asking when is a good time to ring - I've told them about 10 times I'm available on the mobile at all reasonable times ... they still keep emailing the same dumb question.
I'm sticking with MB ... haven't let me down yet and never had ANY fuss about signing up or confirming numbers etc ... they seem more professional

I use moneybookers, verification is very fast and the fees are fixed and don't hurt for low transactions too. I was thinking about getting neteller but looks like they are no good. Anyone know how much fee they charge for transactions?

Moneybookers is the best, just read the rules and user license agreement and make sure not to break the rules. If you play with the rules, you wont have any problems with MB. And its definitely no scam. (reviews about MB: http://www.ciao.com/Reviews/Moneybookers_com__16483897 )

Living in Norway its a must having neteller. They have the possiblility to fill up their neteller card for 1k $ pr day and its hard to track from the authorities. Some yanks will say that many of our laws is like communism. The hard part is that you hae to pay income tax from your winnings. And its not like the stockmarket where u can subtract the losses. And its not like your paying 27 percent of ur winnings more like a artist taxes which can cross the 45 percent line. And that sucks. So no wonder the guys who makes it and wants to live in Norway try to hide it as good as they are able.
And when it comes to the fee. No fee for depositing but a fee for withdrawing. And as my best pal said when he faced the argument. "I never deposit". which made the agent answer guilty.
And the add they had. "this is mike he likes music, blah blah blah and he never fold pocket kings"
That was really no eyes.
Moneybookers is for a small time grinder likeme fine and I get the money to my bank in a day. I likem. So if you gone make 15kusd in month I beleive u shall go with neteller. If u are a small timer go with moneybookers.
