    Default Skrill or Paypal??

    Both have limitations but if you were going to have to accept a regular amoung of money transferred from someone, which would you rather have? Why? I haven't used either much in the last 5 years except for poker transfers when it mattered. I use a Visa on Amazon and have never bought anything on Ebay? What if I wanted to withdraw the cash?

    I'm Kanuckinstan by the way.

    I use MB for all my poker money shuffling and it's great, basically no fees other than a few dollars on the cashout. Paypal for ebay sales since it's basically mandatory.

    With paypal they'll be taking 2.9% off every dollar coming in. Not sure if Moneybookers charges that much, or anything for peer to peer transfers.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    The rates differ based on whether it's for personal shit or for business and whether it's international or inside of the country.

    I use PayPal a lot, but I would suggest Skrill for his situation.

    Skrill/Moneybookers for sure.


    When are they going to make the Skrill debit card option available for Canadians

    Skrill for sure.

    P.O. I'm sure I read that the debit card for VIPs was being rolled out worldwide so hopefully soon?

    How are you using it? I know you're not using it for poker anymore so what purpose is it that is serves for you?

    I actually did use it for poker sort of recently. I stopped playing poker a few years ago but still had a decent chunk of change for a bank roll on one site that I forgot about. Needed a few grand recently and remembered I had money on a site so I used them to withdraw the money directly to my bank account. I had to re-verify my account details since I haven't used them since they were Moneybookers but it was an easy process and the money was in there within 5 business days. I remember them being quicker before but I suspect the delay was the fact that I was essentially a new account again.
