    So why indians are not switching to moneybookers? I think there are people who give choice to be paid through moneybookers as well. does moneybookers charge higher as compared to paypal?

    Indian Banks use NEFT for fund transfer, while Moneybookers uses SWIFT. They don't support withdrawing via checks too.

    Yes, you can withdraw but its not as easy as PayPal. Moneybookers uses Wire Transfer to transfer funds. And thus sometime it takes time.

    Hey dudes... I'm researching different payment processing options to receive some affiliate money ($1-2k). Do you think moneybookers will be a good hassle free option to receive the funds here in India??

    Money booker aka skrill has expensive bank withdrawal option, at cost 35$. So i don't think it is going to be good for any country, including india.
