Hi guys,
I am watching on these two, paypal and moneybookers two of them are easy to verify, but the seller protection is not guaranteed, but two of them have buyer protection...Which of these are better in your opinion?
Thanx

I don't know much about paypal but if it's to set up an account for depositing & withdrawling from & to pokersites, I would think Moneybookers would be the way to go (idk for sure... but do know that Moneybookers works with alot of the sites... but does Paypal?). I'm just about to set up a Moneybookers account myself (finally breaking down & giving in, lol).

That's all I can add. Not sure if it helps ya at all.

Carefully read Paypal's Terms of Service.

One of their items specifically prohibits using Paypal for any transaction involving gaming or gambling. Paypal has in the past closed accounts without notice and held all funds for 6 months. They are also very specific about closing any account found to be using their services for gaming purposes.

Paypal is also VERY good at detecting gaming site use.

Unless you won't mind your money being tied up for up to 6 months, stay with Moneybookers...

Make sure you read my post above (#3) about Paypal. It may not be the same rules for other countries, but Paypal accounts in US using funds for ANY gaming/gambling transactions is cause for Paypal to IMMEDIATELY close your account ... without notice and without recourse.

Be aware .....

Paypal actually allows gambling transactions in other countries other than US and Canada including William Hill Poker, Pacific Poker, BWIN, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power

Moneybookers is the nuts. Verifying your account to be able to do wire cashouts is a bit of a pain, but way worth it.

Moneybookers is much better for gambling websites. I'm not even sure if paypal offer it to any of the good poker websites, I know they offer paypal for betfair but that's all I've ever come across.

I'd stick with moneybookers, you can use it most if not all. I use moneybookers for pokerstars as well as debit card.

well i tried moneybookers and i'm very satisfied...it's probably the best online paying method at the market...

I also have to say that I am very satisfied with using moneybookers for transferring money from and to poker rooms. I can highly recommend it.

Hey people, those of you who are using debit cards have you heard that in July, the Federal Reserve will need to make a verdict on whether to institute a debit card charge cap, and just how much it will be. A deadline extension came down to a fairly close vote, but the measure was defeated and the deadline is still looming. The cap could have serious implications for customers. I found this here: July deadline looming for ruling on debit card fee cap, personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog.
