While i have had an account with moneybookers.com for quite some time, to receive payments for ebay related sales from international customers I've never had trouble. 3 weeks ago, i attempted to withdraw my money to my verified bank account, as I've done many times before. I got a notice in the website, that they needed a credit card verification too. I added my cc info, and nothing happened. It just asked for verification again. When i first opened this account, i sent my ID, my social security card and my home address verification on bills. They have since sent a letter to my house with a code to verify that, and asked me for all those documents TWO MORE TIMES. My only assumption for them asking for this sensitive information over and over, is that they are LOSING it. Creating a serious privacy black hole and endangering me a great deal. Since this problem began, they asked me for all these items, again. I complied, and sent this info via scanned documents into there website.rnIt's been 8 days, and ive still not been contacted and STILL cannot withdraw my money. It should not take a month, to make a withdraw, period. It's less then 300 dollars, hardly even a sum to be concerned with for this company. However, for the last 3 weeks, moneybookers.com has completely ignored me as i attempt to resolve this crisis. rnrnI had found the service useless for my international customers, but if this is now the way they treat people, with completely incompentance then they need to be dropped from your program.

I would support your view, although I did not get as far as you. I tried to join, that took ages and then tried to upload money by credit card.
Here I ran into trouble, after filling all forms for "verification" I was told my account was frozen and closed.
I tried to contact them, it is a stupid procedure which sends the customer from one link to another and in the end the choices do not apply. One either starts again or, as they I guess they hope, gives up in frustration.
My bank told me the report was false and my credit card was indeed still active, they had not touched it.
I reported this back to money bookers and opened another account with a different credit card.
The reply was to "kindly inform me I had violated their terms by opening a second account" whereas in fact, they had shut down the first.
They also "Informed me" they had closed the second and would continue to do so even if any account had funds, presumably meaning they would keep my money.
There was no mention in their reply to my question asking how I went about funding by credit card.
When i tried to do this I was told by the system that [I live and work in China] that option was not available and I needed to make a bank deposit into their bank by Euro or US dollar, interestingly not British pounds.
Clearly, being in China this is not easy.
I have now written asking them to close my account, I expect this will result in further hassle.
I agree, they are completely incompetent and their replies verge on patronisation and rudeness.
Also, the grammar and register of the replies is that of a school drop out, maybe neither here nor there but I would expect a company that is handling international finance and posing as a bank taking my money to hire people who at least have some education.
They may be fine for sending a few bucks or what ever to Aunt Joe in Stratford if you live in Bedfordshire, but as far as international business is concerned, AVOID them.
