My Moneybookers / Skrill Reviews on Ebay

I use moneybookers as payment processor to accept payment from my buyers on ebay. There are some interesting experiences that should be listened to and taken as a reference by the eBayer. Using Moneybookers / Skrill has some advantages and disadvantages and you can find a few tips from me.

Advantages:

• Easy to verify
• Easy to setup, we only need to verify address and credit card, than linked our account to ebay. 
• No limited because unusual login, unusual selling activity, or others bulshit reasons as paypal.
• No held payment received for new account or account with low DSR.
• Fast Withdraw only 1-2 working days this is good than paypal (2-4 working days).
• Using local bank rates, we received money as dollar or euro (depend your moneybookers/skrill curency) this is good than paypal (they rate it self then send it using our currency).

Disadvantages: 

• Not familiar payment in ebay, i have a 45 transaction canceled, buyer refuse using this payment processor, and only 5 transaction success, this is based my experiences, the result depends yours.
• Untrusted, sometimes buyer contact me about this payment "my credit card company tells me that your company has been involved in fraud in the past . and has advised me to have NO daeling with You" , i dont know what this happened.
• Sometimes moneys is refunded to customer because credit card failure or security by card gateway, without appeal first, and sometimes the item was delivered successfull, this case broken my heart (only one case).
• Refund in 7 days, this is too long than paypal (real time) .
• Sometimes they closed your account without appealation, if your account suspected their violations, not like paypal this happened to my friends account (more than $10k, closed and they stolen the money).

Tips:

• To avoid cancel transaction, you can give 2nd invoice to  your buyer using paypal as payment, dont worry even your paypal account used by other ebay account it's work. I was tried this. (just put your paypal email on the invoices not linked to your ebay account).
• Withdraw your money as far as you can, because payment processor is not a bank.

• You should disable sms token by contacting customer support: ebay_seller@moneybookers.com , because some country cannot received the sms token, i have experience with seller from japan and us, for buyer from indonesia and uerope is ok.

Conclusion :

• Paypal still the best payment processor ever for ebay, but i have change this payment processor because i was linked my ebay for 9 paypal account, and all is closed (i was change my computer to new user, delete cookies, change IP address, and others procedure). 
• Use this moneybookers only if you was tired with paypal. 

 

GOOD LUCK !!!!!!
