from their FAQ, it says they don't support bank transfers to "non-US bank accounts" in europe. they only support wire transfer which is a $50US charge.

I'd suggest a small deposit from your CC, then deposit that to UB, and then you should be able to cashout UB-MB as much as you like. Repeat at other sites! 1.9% charge for CC will be negligible on a small deposit, but you many also incur a "Cash Advance" fee on your CC.

BTW, who is charging you the $30? Your bank, I assume? I STILL haven't gotten around to it, but my Credit Union said it was FREE for <$100. If it's important to you to link to your bank acct, and to save that fee, you might want to think about shopping around for banks.

Yes. I think there's no question that with ePassporte, either you get the Visa Card as well to do ATM withdrawls, or just use it as ONE of your eWallets, and use a different eWallet or a Poker Site to cashout from your bankroll.

CIBC also charges $30 per wire. It's horrible to lose 3% per $1000 sent. What credit union do you use? Anybody know which bank or credit union in Canada charges the lowest price for wire transfers?

Coast Capital. Only free <$100 though. I think $1000 would cost $25.

Are you sure everything was entered correctly? If so, try calling their CS...I've found them to be fairly prompt about answering, and quite helpful.

I used my CIBC Visa with no problem.

With Moneybookers is it better to go USD OR CAD?

Thanks

if you have a choice, always USD to avoid exchange rate hassles for transferring to/from merchants.
