I'm really dissappointed to hear that because I was waiting for my card and thought I'd be able to take some money out quickly.

I'm really at a loss what to do right now. Last month I deposited 2 checks while I was at my parents, close to the middle of nowhere. It was TD and I got a call next day telling me they wouldn't except the checks. Basically, my parents live in a borderline retardville/hickish town and either they got some idea the checks were forged or, as they told me, they were too stupid to cash international checks. After complaining to TD, etc, etc nobody outside that branch can really understand why they won't take it. But, with a big cancel sign on the back I have to wait 8 weeks for them to clear now. It seems Click2pay won't help me much either right now and from what I hear I don't think I'll use them.

So that leaves Moneybookers and ePassporte, both of which sounded mediocre to me (I wouldn't mind changing banks either as TD is very poor service).

1 - I gather that with Moneybookers I'm left with little options but bank wire and the limits aren't that high unless I do all the verifications. I also would have to look at opening a new bank account which is another pain right now.

2 - ePassporte looks crappy as well. 50 dollar fee for bank wires and transaction limits are even worse? Maybe the card is better than click2pay though?

It's getting a little frustrating at this point as I haven't had any money out since Neteller left. Is Moneybookers the way to go? I don't need to fund once I'm verified as I have plenty of money online. Should I open ePassporte as well and use their debit card feature? I'm a little confused what the limits are on that as well.

Thank You,

GrindingIt

if you're gonna sign up for a new bank account, make sure you do so with a bank that's not a correspondent bank.

e.g. PC Financial is fairly popular because it's free everything. but they go through CIBC, so moneybookers will not be able to send you money (i tried).

Citizen's Bank will accept incoming wires. i've tried and it works. they charge $5 incoming, which is a lot cheaper than the rest. but at the time they gave me crappy 1.08 conversion when it should have been 1.10.

party's EFT is still by far the best to get money out. speaking of which, i am VERY impressed. i cashed out last night, and the money hit my account today. TODAY!!!! and add to the fact that i got 1.10, which is what the exchange is.

ok i was able to verify my credit card & address and my bank account is registered and I uploaded money by verifying my address instead of figuring out how much bank deposit was in Canadian. I went to deposit money to a poker site and found out my money is locked until:

What??! I didn't know I still have to verify our address and photo id before we can deposit to a poker site..... Man this is getting annoying. Now I have to go to my bank and do a bank transfer which probably will cost $15 bucks. Then I have to wait 2-5 days to get my funds to my MB account and now you are telling me I gotta verify even more stuff before i can deposit to a poker site?

I wouldn't assume that because one person had to, that everyone will. There might have been a policy change that means you do, or it might have been a random security check.

Sorry to hear some of you are having such a bad experience with MB. I've found them to be great. My experience went like this - opened account, verified NOTHING. I had lots of points at PokerSavvy from promos I had done, so I cashed those in for $$ on MB. I've used it ever since with NO problems (except for right at the beginning when Party & UB both "lost" my initial $20 deposits for a week). I have since verified my CC and address to increase my limits...still haven't bothered to verify my bank account. Like Hypermegachi said, Party EFT is a great way to cash out. Until I hear of a better option, that's what I'm using.

they are currently 2/2 for getting it to me in 1 day. the 1st time, they also credited me 0.14 and 0.15 2 days later, which i thought was kinda odd.

How is Click2Pay for you guys? I have used them previously in the past and 3 out of 4 times there was no problem and the money was in my debit card in usually less than 24 hours. Now I try using them again and they said there a problem with their debit card issuer and the money will be put back in your account and you can request a withdrawal to the debit card again. 2nd time this has happened to me so currently the stats with C2P are 3 successful out of 5. They would be really good if they didn't have these problems. Anybody heard any other news? I hope they don't close shop cause it's my only way to get money offline.

So this process of getting money from Neteller to Moneybookers is growing more and more difficult. I finally have money in MB and deposited it at Party. I then deposited money from Neteller to Party. I then tried to cash it all out to MB as I understood this was possible. They just sent me an alert email saying i could only cash out the amount of my neteller deposit to neteller.

Suggestions on method to get the money from one to another?
