Skrill Allows BTC now?

[deadley]

Don't ask from you bought or sold skrill. Contact skrill/neteller are they allowing exchanging btc to skrill through 3rd party.

Because in their TOS still written it's not allowed.

What do you mean by this statement?
You mean from a bought skrill account?

It is not allowed to buy btc using their services yet they offer it within their accounts?
I think they have to revise their terms of service agreements then.

I means he used 3rd party for trade skrill. If he ask that site why they will ever say it's risky to trade through them.

Skrill/Neteller has good support in twitter so better ask them there.

Skrill doesn't allow this feature directly and as of now you can only convert your btc to skrill and neteller by paying 1% fee but like Payza has a 2% withdrawal fee via BTC, Skrill still doesn't have that option. It is not even as good as PayPal as they charge $5 for withdrawing to the bank and their third-party exchanges are not worth trying with extremely high fee.


PS: I noticed they increased the neteller uploading fee. I remember it was 1% and now it's 3.

Yeah, still not possible to cashout from Skrill or Neteller directly to BTC but rather via a 3rd party. I haven't found a good way to cashout either to bitcoin so I'd just rather cashout to bank account first. Skrill is now accepting bitcoin deposits because Neteller acquired Skrill. Neteller has had this option for quite a while. The increase in neteller fees was a little surprise though. I would have preferred the 1% fee, obviously Their fiat cashout fees are quite high also.

Just patiently waiting for some more options to buy/sell bitcoins easy. I'm sure something will pop up in the near future.

Don't accept yet? Ah, so nothing changed... Using third party it's possible to move money to any payment system site, even PayPal. Skrill could do a big step accepting BTC, but they are going same way the others. It would be surely a great news for BTC, but no problem. It's possible to use their service with third party services. I think the only difference would be lower fees, if BTC was accepted officially by them (or not).

That is amazing news , that way it would be like gyft where the usage rate of bitcoin would go through the roof.
I think the more places you can spend bitcoin the more bitcoin users we can have. That is amazing for us bitcoin hoarders

[Tyrantt]

hah the local exchange I'm using (ecb.rs) is taking 5% fee if you're unregistered and 4% if you are. I've had skrill account and their credit card and lemme tell you, fees are high as hell, not rly worth it.

I think there is a awesome site or service bitpay and using that most of the sites are happily accepting bitcoins. I think it would just take a little time for skrill to accept bitcoins, until then visit the localbitcoins and if you don't like localbitcoins deals then try the exchange section here at our forum : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0

They increased it ? Damn I have uploaded more than 2000$ via bitcoins to my neteller accounts, yes accounts because I cannot verify my identity so I make different account every time I reach the limit, hehe easy and safe for me. I was loving that feature and really it was like 2 weeks ago when I deposited last, unhappy the fees is increased.

It isw very good news that bitcoin is spreading on different payment services. I have Skrill account so I'm happy because of that but the fees look realy high. Hope they will change that in the future. Maybe with all this changes PayPal may consider their bitcoin policy too.

paypal should also allow deposit through bitcoin, as other payment processors allowing.

OP : Actually you solved a big problem of mine. I was trading with a user on localbitcoins named " carlacosta" and he/she was charging me like 15-20% fees I guess and now I am really glad you gave me this site.
Well, there are uses who give me skrill at 1-2% fees on localbtcoins but I prefer highly trusted ones due to reversible nature of skrill.

It may happen at any time, they are already partnering with coinbase for this reason.

Actually skrill allows BTC deposits indirectly, let me explain you. You can open a neteller account and deposit with bitcoins there ( they take just 1% fees ) then then you can upload from neteller to skrill ( the fees is 3% ) so actually you get BTC to skrill at just 4% fees.

You can now directly deposit money via btc into your skrill account. The fee is just 1%:

Is this truth can someone else confirm this ?

I have been using skrill for years and gets email every time they add some new feature or merchants to their service.
I didn't get any email in this regard but now I will ask their support if it is true and post their reply here

But it is confirmed by many members here that Skrill has added new functionality to accept bitcoin deposits with some third party collaboration. I guess you need to check your mail's spam folder. Some time it may happen like only some specific emails (even it is from trusted sender) to get marked as spam.

Paypal need to hurry up and get on that.  I like neteller but would much prefer to go via paypal tbh.  Would be nice to see the 1% fee down to 0.5% or something.  Maybe for bigger deposits they could lower the %.

I was not seeing this option and just checked now. It is really true, a dream come true to me as no need anymore to use the fees of Bitpanda which are clearly higher to receive the money in Skrill. I can upload directly now.

However I have one question, can I withdraw directly to my bank account after upload through bitcoin , the USD or EUR in my case as I am in EU?

[DimensionZ]

Can we use the deposited Bitcoins on websites that accept Skrill payments? And does Skrill offer a virtual debit card like Neteller does? I am looking for a cheaper way to purchase fiat goods with Bitcoin and also withdraw to my bank account with less fees.

No you can not. But you can do what this guy said:

 I use this process too, even yesterday I made this process for to be able to transfer to my bank account.

That's very sad to know. I can do this via Bitpanda for about 4% fee which is the same and I don't have to use to payment processors, I can only use Skrill and Bitpanda which I am already doing.

Still it's a good thing, a very good one that Skrill started accepting bitcoin directly.

[FLoving]

That is a great news that the usage of bitcoin is spreading over the market and everyone is going to be convinced to use bitcoin. I have some funds in skrill but I do not know that how to transfer them to skrill because I do not have spend much time with skrill but only got a payment from a company for completing a task for it and from that time they are at there.
