Can Canadians trust Neteller for withdrawing?

I'm Canadian. At this point, I don't trust Neteller at all. I know what happened to their American customers. Not sure I want to risk leaving anything with Neteller or even attempting a withdrawal from them. Should I wait till after apr 9 and request a bank wire or cheque from the merchant instead? Currently my Neteller account is 0. Merchants have a rule of deposit by Neteller means you have to withdraw by Neteller. I might have to wait till after Apr 9.

I don't trust Neteller at all after what they did to their American customers!

I just attempted a Neteller withdrawal today of ~4000, since stars wouldn't let me withdraw by cheque what I had deposited in their site in the first place. I'll keep you posted as to how things go.

I did one of $250 no problem last week no problem, and have one $1000 pending. I'll post when it hits.

yeah, I had one for 700 a month ago that cleared the next day. I'm pretty sure Neteller is ok for the time being for Canadians in terms of withdrawing.

If you contact the merchant directly and explain you don't want to wait and why you don't want to use neteller they should let you cash out by other means.

I did a 2k withdrawal from Neteller yesterday afternoon and it hit my bank account just now.

The exchange rate sucks compared to Party though. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You should be okay, the Americans didn't receive their money because it was SEIZED by the DoJ, not because of impropriety on the part of Neteller.

Hey, if that's true, then it's good news indeed. I might try an EFT if other Canadians post that their EFTs went through since the announcement.

Just did a withdrawal from UB into neteller and it came through fine. Made the request to do EFT into my bank account, last time I did this (a couple of months ago) it only took a couple of days. Will post when it comes through.

I am an American, and just checked my Neteller account. It still has a balance of $10.80. This money has NOT been seized by the DOJ, Neteller has simply refused to allow me and countless others to withdraw their funds.
