I need to sell some BTC and convert to USD in my bank account.  Paypal obviously sucks.  Dwolla I don't like them for various reasons, one of which is how long it takes to transfer funds from your Dwolla account to your bank account.

But I've never used Moneybookers before?  Are they safer than using Paypal  (chargebacks)?  How long do they take to transfer the funds to your bank account? 

I'm open to other suggestions as well, that accomplish the same goals in a quick, safe, and cheap method. 

Charlie Kelly: I'm pleading the 5th.  The Attorney: I would advise you do that.  Charlie Kelly: I'll take that advice under cooperation, alright? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor?  The Attorney: You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law.

They don't support electronic currency exchanges.
Safer in terms of being hard to fraud but if you play it properly it'll be easy to use.

They have low fees (capped at 0,8usd and 0,5eur) and I've never had any problems. Highly recommend.

Chargebacks are hard to get. I once tried to have it reserved because the reciever did not deliver the goods (private person, not a company) and they said something to the effect of; "We do not interfer in personal matters.". I think however its possible if you claim you were hacked and internal investigation yields the same result.

They are not bitcoin friendly as far as I know, so better not mention it to them via transfer or support correspondance.

Transfer to bank account takes around 1-4days for me in Norway.

I do however advice you to try to achieve VIP status if feasible as you get a free security token as well as the ability to have multiple accounts with different currencies.

Btw, pretty sure they do not take american customers.

I'm buying BTC with moneybookers and have both EUR and USD account if you are interested.

Well if they don't accept American customers I guess that pretty much knocks me out.  I think I'd prefer to use bitinstant based on everything I know, just they've been down for the past little bit.  Not sure when they're coming back up.
