Intrade M2M funding

[MoonShadow]

Does anyone have a funded Intrade account, and know how to send that to another member? I recently opened an account and would like to get some US FRN's into it, and I'm willing to part with some of my bit-savings in order to do it faster than a personal check can make a round trip to Ireland and back.

Done!

It is a tormail address so I was suspicous.  They do accept escrow though (BTCrow and Thrucoin).  The fees aren't cheap, but they are the only game in town.

I'd rather wait for my check to clear than pay a 15% premium.  I've got a political theory I've developed over the past month or so, that I intend to lay out in detail here.  But not until I've placed my bets.

Intriguing.

I wonder how that person offering the service actually does the transfer.  I don't see any account-to-account transfer method.  It only shows:

Deposit:
* Credit or Debit Card
* Check
* Bank Wire

Unfortunately we are not able to accept deposits using PayPal, NETeller, Moneybookers or any of the other major eWallet services. This is because of restrictions contained in their terms of service. We also cannot accept eChecks, BitCoins or Western Union transfers.


Withdraw:
* Check
* Bank Wire

Unfortunately we are not able to send you funds using PayPal, NETeller, Moneybookers or any of the other major eWallet services. This is because of the restrictions contained in their terms of service. We are also not permitted by the credit card companies to send funds back to your credit or debit card.

But they have no problem with this person offering this transfer service (up to $100 limit though):

This is not some Intrade endorses and we won't guarantee any transactions made between customers outside of the Intrade environment.

But this does offer an option to Intrade members and we'll leave it up to individuals to decide for themselves whether or not this is something they'd like to do.

Only small transactions will be processed by Intrade however - a maximum of $100. And, of course, we have the right to say no to any transfer.

Oh, I see -- customer-to-customer transfer.  That must be through Intrade's help / customer service, like via phone or through e-mail.
 

Once I receive the bitcoins and the funds are available, a request is made to Intrade for a customer-to-customer transfer.

When Intrade processes the customer-to-customer transfer the process is complete.


Transaction Time

Most transactions are completed within 24-48 hours on weekdays. Some transactions could take 3-5 days to be completed.

There's even someone doing this via PayPal:

(Once again, PayPal is fine with violations of their Acceptable Use policy, ... unless it is Bitcoin related.  Then it is FREEZE!)
