Title: Is it possible to deposit USD from OKPAY to MtGox?
Post by: bitdude on February 17, 2014, 03:26:34 PM
The option is available in MtGox interface, but I was unable to proceed due to this error message:

Quote
Merchant does not allow payments from anonymous users.

Not sure what this is about since I am both MtGox and OKPAY verified user with long history and was logged in during the attempt to both systems.

So, anyone able to deposit from OKPAY to MtGox?

Thanks!

I do not see this option in my account and I'm verified and not from US, very strange.

I've had the same message show up when making a transfer on Mt Gox site.

Since OKPAY website also has a feature for sending money I was wondering if anybody has tried initiating the payment from OKPAY without loggin into MTGOX first.  After clicking on Send Money on OKPAY you're presented with a screen asking for "Recipient's Email/WalletID".  Is this the just a generic Mt Gox email address or is it a specific wallet ID which belongs to me on Mt Gox? I'm verified on OK Pay and Mt Gox and have successfully transferred money (GBP) from OK PAY to Mt gox sometime last year.  The same process now shows an error message. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Any luck?

I'm reading stories of people having no problems getting money from okpay to gox.

I asked Gox support and got a generic response that seemed to outline the steps I was already taking, and getting the error message.

Thank you for the email. Sorry for the delay in responding. You can add funds to your account from OKPay. To do so, please login, go to your Funding Options, and select OKPAY in the drop down menu.

You will need a OKPAY account to deposit via this method.

There is a 1% fee for all deposits made via OKPAY. I request you try adding funds through this mode.

For further assistance do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

I was able to deposit via OKPay, albeit in GBP twice this week.

I had that error once when I was logged out, maybe try deleting cookies or start a fresh browser session (or use Internet Explorer for example)

Hope this helps.

They should have left at least deposit option - even without trading;)
