Title: Moneybookers?
Post by: enmaku on June 23, 2011, 06:20:22 AM
I've got some potential international customers and I'm thinking of doing a bit of business via Moneybookers, but I'm getting conflicting information. Half of the googlesphere thinks moneybookers transactions are reversible, the other half thinks they're not and then a small fraction are saying that folks have had accounts suspended for exchanging BTC, yet there are a couple exchanges that do business in MBUSD... Maybe I just haven't spent enough time on IRC or something. Does anyone have a real answer for me?

Old thread this, but as I've been looking into moneybookers, section 11 in their TOS states:
Quote
Prohibited Transactions

Third party processing or payment aggregation products or services

You may be fine with a few personal non-commercial type of bitcoin-otc exchanges, but if they find you use bitcoins, they will lock the account.

There is a workaround, seemingly:

But after searching a little bit, we can readily see that Moneybookers
in fact do provide for the ability to purchase bitcoins.

You could buy Linden dollars with Moneybookers at VirWox (source:

Dollars can readily be exchanged to bitcoins, which is currently
happening with non-trivial amounts:

And VM-Center is accepting to exchange bitcoins to Moneybookers funds:
