On to a poker site? Are you sure?? That would pretty much kill this option. I was fairly sure this was just for depositing on to the EPP account from a CC, NOT for transferring from EPP to a poker site. If this is definitely true, please let us know.

i am wrong. at a quick glance it seems like what i originally thought is the case. but after reading it a lot more carefully (scroll to middle of the link), they talk about depositing into your epassporte and then into your FT account. i assumed that it'd be obvious you would need pre-existing money in your epassporte.

I know a few of us, including myself, emailed Moneybookers a few days back....has anyone heard anything from them. I'm a bit leery as they don't have a toll free number, and only have email for merchants or webmasters - also they are only open 8 hours a day during normal German business hours. A lot of us are moving a lot of money around and if we have a pressing question it does not appear as though they will respond in a timely manner at all.

I'm having the same worry. I used their messaging centre a couple of days ago and have heard nada back.

No way do I call them. It's way too damn expensive per minute to Europe.

Has anyone heard back from them using the messaging centre and not the e-mail address for merchants? How long did it take for them to respond?

Thanks to everyone who is contributing to this thread.
I am finding it very informative.

When making a deposit at moneybookers with a credit card it asks;

"Please declare the purpose of this deposit:

I will use the money deposited with this credit/debit card for NON-GAMING purposes
I will use the money deposited with this credit/debit card for GAMING purposes."

Does anyone know if it makes any difference which option I select. If I say I'm not using my deposit for gambling purposes, will moneybookers prevent me from making deposits at poker sites? If I say I'm using my deposit for gambling purposes, will my credit card decline the charnge?

Absolutely it is supposed to matter. I'm pretty sure it says on that same screen, or on another page, that if you say it will be used for NON-gaming, they will NOT allow you to use it for gaming. I chose gaming. As to whether or not your CC will deny it, that is a possibility...but we don't have much choice.

The reply I posted earlier was in response to a messaging center questions, AFAIK. I asked the same question via the email address AND the messaging center, but the email I received had the following subject:

[Ticket ##39051000##] - DP-GENERAL- Deposit General Enquiry

This appears to be from the messaging center. I got the reply in about 3-4 hours...maybe I was lucky.

Slightly off topic but does anyone know what the best interest rate I can get out there for an U.S dollar netbank? The best I have found so far is HSBC & ING at 3.5%. I am thinking about setting up a moneybookers account and withdrawing to either of these accounts. Might as well make something positive out of this whole neteller fiasco.

don't know about the HSBC one, but the ING account a savings account, not checkings. pretty sure you won't be able to hook it up with any ewallet.

Try ICICI Bank. It's a savings account with about 4.25% so I'm not sure about hooking it up with an ewallet. There service is pretty horrible, but once you get it set up you're good to go.
