N/P: Neteller advice required

[I, Zimbra]

On my £ account (weep) they charge £2 per withdrawal, which is a good reason for me not to have one of their debit cards.

I made my Neteller account about 6 months ago in £. They accept my Visa Electron wish I had made it in $ now after reading all these posts. How do you lose money then with the £ account?

[I, Zimbra]

Well... if you use Neteller to shift money between US accounts, Neteller buys and sells you the $s at a profit (for them)... e.g. if the ER is 1.74, they may sell you the $s at 1.7 and buy them back at 1.8.

SO every time you put money from your £ Neteller into a US Poker room, and then withdraw it back to Neteller, you get a little less back.

If you only want Neteller for accounts that use £s (e.g. Bowman's or UK based places) then it makes sense to have the account in £s.

I opened Neteller last week (in £ - damn) and used a Visa debit card. This replaced my switch card. Try one of them, Nemesis, I know you must have plenty

Actually, I have some real figures for Neteller's Exchange rate this month (the ones above were approximations, but not far off)

On March 10th I deposited to a US poker room via Neteller, and their conversion rate for that transaction was 1.704
On March 29th I made a withdrawal from a (different) US room via Neteller, and their conversion rate was 1.782

My Neteller a/c is in ££'s Nem, but I play mostly Laddies and Crypto and some Tribeca.

I have no problem using Firefox to access Neteller.
