Moneybookers or Paypal

NexusWebLinks · Mar 6th, 2008, 8:54 am

need advice.

I have learned that Moneybookers now allow users to upload money via E-nets.
Under their fees listing in my country, Euro$1.80 is being charge as withdrawal fee.
Anyone here use MOneybookers?

It pretty interesting to know that they provide nowE-nets facility.

^ ditto that. I have only used moneybrokers when selling domain names to some people who only have that available. I wasn't aware of their new features though, thanks for the heads up!

I just signed up for MB the other day as an online casino didn't take PP, but did take MB instead. It's good to have another option I suppose.

A post over on DP suggested that scammers tend to pay with PP but want paid with MB. Mainly because PP won't chase it up and they can get away with it.

Well, I was scammed on ebay once, I got a box with old plug and play games instead of xbox 360. The person had fake phone number and etc.

PayPal refunded everything. They refunded $200 right after I won the dispute, and rest few months later, since the person scammed other people.

Getting scammed and etc is not PayPal's fault.

I use paypal mainly but I do have

Moneybookers - for those who can't pay with paypal.
Google checkout - mainly used for buying things.
Escrow - for large transaction to prevent scam
egold - some people prefer this type of payment.

Never knew they has that feature, i prefer moneybookers over any payment processor, it's just paypal is so overused no one has an option.

benjaminp · Apr 10th, 2008, 10:12 pm

At the moment I use paypal but I have just recieved my confimation letter from moneybookers today so I will probably use both in the future and slowly work my way off paypal if possible.

dvduval · Apr 10th, 2008, 11:38 pm

I use moneybookers for payments to and from Europe quite often, but use paypal for the majority of transactions, and also ikobo sometimes.

Hostlayer · Apr 11th, 2008, 12:01 am

PP user here. Have MB and 2CO for people who don't want to pay with PP.

Never had any problems with any.

ricbia · Apr 15th, 2008, 12:29 pm

Mainly PP, but with MB I got no probs.

LeenkzMike · Apr 16th, 2008, 7:06 pm

I have used PP for years,

At the moment I am looking to start my own merchant account thru my bank, as they are running an interesting offer, and the volume of my transactions is getting up to where it needs to be in order to justify it!
