We have skrill accounts (previously mooneybookers). The only thing we've ever used them for is the automatic top up facility on a Skype account.

If I recall the 2 main ways to add to your skrill account are from 1) a credit card 2) a bank account.

For 1) it takes a couple of days to set up your credit card. You fill in all your card details. As a security setting they then charge a small amount to your card - a few baht or whatever currency your card is - as a test transaction. You check your credit card online - which takes a couple of days for their amount to go through - then input the amount as the second part of the card set up process to authorise the credit card to be used with your skrill account. After that, the small amount is in your skrill account, and you can then authorise payments etc to be made, and they charge to your card. The initial set up is a bit annoying as it takes a couple of days. After that easy though.
