    Hi,

    What is the best way to transfer from freelancer.com to India :

    1. Use wire transfer from freelancer.com directly to your bank : Freelancer takes 25$ as fees but then does all the money is transferred to my bank account or is the intermediary bank involved in between.

    2. Other option is to use Moneybookers(Skrill) : Freelancer does not charge any fees but Skrill takes about 5$ fees and then there is an intermediary bank involved (my currency in Skrill is USD) . The intermediary takes about 1% of the fees.

    Any one has any done such transfer to Indian account before using option 1 ?

    Thanks for the reply Stephine ... I wanted some one from India to reply to this query. I do not agree that Wiretransfer is free totally, their intermediary bank cuts a fee which is 1%-1.5% of the total transaction. I have made various transactions via Moneybookers and never ever saw 0 intermediary fee...
