Now that's bloody cheeky..Monetbookers

[KB]

I have just receive a mail from Skrill (Moneybookers) about new fees.

 

Now normally this wouldn't worry me as although I did open an account a couple of years back I am yet to use the account even once.

 

Well get this the new fee is for not using the account, it makes no difference if no money has ever passed through the account or whether it is in the red or black, an account that has been inactive for 18 Months (soon to be 12 Months) will incur a fee of 1 Euro per Month.

 

Yes there is an east way around the fee, all you need to do is log into your account but it's still a bloody cheeky money grab attempt if you ask me.

Still very cheap in comparison to PayPal...

Cheeky yep, they are all the same tbh, but that PP takes the cake, it is as close as they come to a criminal enterprise, holding all incoming payments for 21days to earn interest....err I mean to 'protect the buyer'. The mafia had more honest businesses. I signed up to moneybookers years ago also, never used them though.

Also pp accounts may be taxed....

I hate PP too for many reasons but at least you have to use them to incur fees.

 

BTW I'm pretty sure the tax angle is only US accounts at this stage.
