Does anyone have any experience of this "money for the internet" company?

It seems very good for tranferring money - low rate - about 1.8 Euro for withdrawing and free for depositing.

Maybe an alternate to credit card.

Useful for paying or collecting from internet sites.

Hi Neer,

do you mean Pay Pal perhaps? Don't know how to do it but it's apparently good.

It seems very similar to Pay Pal, with some relaxed options for Australisa.

I use Moneybookers for my Skype account, as Skype declined every credit card I offered them because, I guess, I foolishly gave them my Thailand as well a UK address (even though the cards are UK-based).

It's a bit of a hassle to set up - had to give details of my UK and Thai bank accounts and wait a few days - but once it was up and running it's worked fine. I just transfer money to it from my UK bank when I need to.

It is similar to PayPal, but I prefer Moneybookers for reasons I won't go into here.

I'd rather not say the real reason for my wanting it too - maybe the same.

Thanks for the replies.
