    Hi,

    I'll sell VCC online and I will accept MB, WU and e-gold.

    Is it safe to accept moneybookers and e-gold? (chargeback, stolen CC, hacked accounts...)

    Thank you for your help

    I use MoneyBookers and find it the safest payment processor. E-Gold is also safe (at least at the time when I used it heavily) but I have heard about too many scam stories with E-Gold lately.

    If you are worried about chargebacks the egold is the payment processor for you since they have a no refund policy.

    Furthermore, it's not allowed to sell VCC with moneybookers.

    http://www.moneybookers.com/app/help.pl?s=terms
    I think that the solution is to tell my clients that I accept e-gold and WU only, and if they have moneybookers only they can axchange it online at their own risk.

    Is this ok?

    Yeah I had same problem about a year ago. At that time I've selling hosting , servers, scripts etc. They've blocked my account with about $2000 inside.. I've send my docs , call them .anyway finally they've released my account. I was so happy then made the mistake not to withdraw the funds ASAP.

    In day 2. I had left only ~$1700 the rest of $300 was deducted as fraud funds. I've said well ok I can live with it ..

    In day 4 .. Logged in to MB and suprise : only ~$1000 left ... I've made an withdraw request asap and finally got in the bank about ~$600-$700

    Conclusion: Never keep high funds in your MB. bank is safer :D


    Now to answer nabil_kadimi question, I suggest you to use only non refundable payment processors (get paid stay paid) like E-gold , LibertyReserve , WesternUnion service , E-bullion etc

    I never had a problem with MB and e-gold. MB is cool enough to use. But still there is risk if you violate their terms and conditions.

    Best of luck with your business!

    Just read my experience with Moneybookers HERE

    I have faced a lot of trouble due to one single fraudulent transaction. These payment processor companies always suck now a days. They must provide some online support on phone instead of emails. They can easily verify our identity by asking few secret questions like birth date, passport no., mother's maiden name etc. etc. Why do they take so much time to resolve the case ?:mad:

    Even here you will not be sure if the opposite party is genuine or not then why do they trouble us if we get any fraudulent payment. At most all they should do is just reverse the payment that's all. But these long process of ID verification really sucks which is very much time consuming.
