There are several reasons could be that you getting this error but most probably you get this error when your Skrill account is Un-verified and you have not provided the documents for verification to skrill, Skrill put this limits on Skrill account if you using Un-verified skrill for many number of transactions.

I am feeling a bit of panic now that I learn Skrill doesn't allow currency exchange. So far I keep selling bitcoins to bitpanda and I ask to receive funds in my Skrill address, I sell almost every week and so far nothing have happened to me. I know bitpanda has not fraudulent funds but is bitpanda an official partner of Skrill so I will have no problems using it or maybe the same can happen to me in the future ?

You Can Use Skrill ... But Before You accept it, You Must Make sure that the source of the buyer funds is from trusted websites only
otherwise Don't Accept it

Also .. When using it, Becareful not to receive multiple transfers on it per day .. Cause Currency Exchange is prohibited By Skrill

and will be much better if You make the buyer to write any note about any service you provided to him .. and of course not E-currency Exchange

Regards


I have been a Skrill customer for several years. On 5th of October 2016 I paid an amount of 19000 EUR from my bank account to Skrill. The amount was not credited. Usually a credit note is issued within 3 working days. I inquired several times per e-mail in the last days.  Unfortunately no reaction! I logged in to Skrill and asked about it. No reaction again.  I made a call to Skrill office in Germany. The official in charge promised to clarify it today. So far no reaction! I have to pay for my team, so it's very urgent!!! Skrill has unfortunately a bad service, because it does not react. If Skrill does not reply or response is unnecessarily delayed, please contact Financial Ombudsman Office in the UK -> https:u//help.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/help

Yes, i just got scammed.

I've stopped using  skrill 2 years ago since they have increased the tax at every my transcation.

and now normally i using paypal. in short, last week i've decided to try using skrill once again, i just need to know what their new taxes. And i made transaction form skrill to my bank account. In skrill process my fund got taxes 10%, it's normal as their rules, but i think it has been increased than 2 years ago, and i think it's okay allright. i think i'll always using paypal. but the problem is not here.

and then i saw my bank account transactions history, the fund that i received juts 75% than what i've counted, my transaction is LOST 25%. I've sent an email to their CS and didnot get any reply. Well, the Quote today is : Don't work with poor company,  Smiley

I've decided to always using paypal.

Sorry for the bad english

It's scaring me all this negative talk about Skrill. I changed from Paypal(I hate 21 days pending payment ) to Skrill and very happy using Skrill from more than 2 years. I use it only to sell bitcoins to Bitpanda so far I never had any problem with them. I guess there is something to learn here, never trade with another user, member of any forum as you never know what to expect and Skrill should be good to go for me. Once I receive money in my Skrill I immediately withdraw them to my credit card.

Regarding my taxes they always ask me 2.01 USD fee for withdrawing to my credit card no matter the amount bigger or small so far. Max amount I used is 150 USD to withdraw lately during the beginning of this month.

Skrill have already implemented 2FA and I think Paypal is a bit behind in this regard, so in the end I would say use Skrill with caution.

Just happened to me. It say's "We're unable to perform the transaction. Please get in touch with us."

~250 USD gone. Really annoying and I'm looking forward for the day where bitcoin adaption has reached a level where nobody will need these f** shady payment providers any more as everyone accepts bitcoin directly.

Skrill aka Moneybookers arent SHADY lol
Do your research before you use a payment system, clearly read and understand the guidelines.
I have funded many people with skrill and have been scammed once as well but if you are carefull skrill can be more safer than paypal.

Hi,

I joined this forum because I also was scammed by Skrill. I live in the US and use Skrill to buy chips, but they have now locked all my bank cards and credit cards and will not return my calls. 

I reported them to my bank and have been forced to close my current bank account and bank card and go the the bank Monday to have to open a whole new account and checking account!

This company is very suspicious due to the information they require in their documents!  My bank said this was so bad that I need to report it as well to the 3 Credit Bureaus.

This totally sucks and was wondering how to close a Skrill account so they cannot abuse me anymore or have access to my information.

Thanks!

Had very similar experience than OP. I was scammed via a business account in a bitcoin trade.

After some days of "investigating" the situation they decided to close my account and kindly let me withdraw my remaining funds after deducting 150 EUR for "investigations costs". So I was scammed twice I guess.  Grin

In my opinion Skrill is much worse that PayPal. They will arbitrarily freeze your account even if you have verified your account in all possible ways. Even if there is no chargeback involved.

The same thing has happened to me today.

I've used localbitcoins.com for exchanging the BTC to Skrill, and they have closed my account.
