Thank you for using Skrill.

Basically they are charging a minimum of 0.5% to upload funds immediately via Skrill Direct, or 1.5% via Sofort . Only free option is a bank wire which takes 3-5 days. Not great really.

Re: New Fees
absolutely if they removed the 1e cap at vips they will lose many customers including me. I still remember the time when they had 0.50e cap for everyone and cashbacks...
Don't speak for something you have no clue.

Re: New Fees
Here is what i have so far:
These are the fees right now and they will continue like this after November the 22nd.
https://www.skrill.com/en/fees/
For P2P transactions the fee remains 1% of the transaction with 10 EUR max. Afected customers are those who use Skrill Direct and Sofort. Whatever that means. Mainly it is for those who buy products on line paying directly from 1 Skrill account to merchant account.
As I see it, nothing changed.

Re: New Fees
I use both Skrill direct and sofort to upload funds from my UK bank account to Skrill instantly. Not anymore with those charges,
I cant see any other way to fund Skrill instantly without paying a suicidal fee. That means having to wait 4 days for a bank wire to arrive at Skrill. May as well just send bank wire direct to the book. Keeps them happier re fees and no time advantage to use Skrill any more.

Re: New Fees
Or go back to using a good old debit card which is instant and free. Oh well Skrill's loss.
