    US persons cannot use MB at all. It violates a bunch of US anti online gambling and money laundering regulations. Rather than try to comply with impossible regulations, MB just banned US customers.

    There is some congressional push to re-allow online gambling, but it would be a year or more to open back up assuming that they can get the regulations lifted.

    Is MB moneybookers? People in the US aren't allowed to use it?

    And btw is there any way to make a 'buy now' button for moneybookers?

    I had a long term client who was located in USA. Paypal does not support my country so i asked him to send the payment via Moneybookers and it was working fine with both of us and then one day moneybookers restricted US customers and i think so they can't upload or send money now.
    Moneybookers US customers cannot receive money and foreign customers cannot upload funds using cards or accounts located in the US too.
    Thanks

    If your account is a non US one, You can't send payment to an US account, but you have no problem with other countries.

    this is major problem for me, cos MB is so convenient when it comes to withdrawing money to my bank account.
    Is there another service similar to MB that supports the US?
