Well, for use Skrill, I think there has a high fee. but, if they start accepting bitcoin, I think it is very good news. but, I think they'll give you a high fee even though they accept bitcoin. but now I also have not seen the news that Skrill accept bitcoin Sad

.

Skrill has indeed high fees, but I don't think many people will be bothered by that since it's nothing more than an alternative way of buying Bitcoin.

In some cases people end up buying coins at a fee of around 5-10% due to the fact that they haven't got any other option than this.

Just to be clear, Skrill itself doesn't accept Bitcoin. Skrill just seems to have a friendly policy towards crypto in general which of course is a nice change for once.

You can only deposit BTC into your skrill account. You can't withdraw money from your skrill account in the form of bitcoin. It's quite typical really. Everyone is happy to take BTC because it is an irreversible payment method but few will give you BTC in exchange for your dollars.

Payza has a withdrawing feature?
If this is correct,than I guess it would be better than those BTC debit cards,that charge crazy fees.
Need to give Payza a try.Thanks to the guy that commented on this Wink

They still don't accept btc withdraw, but in the future could do this, to avoid some issues about laws.

OK, Skrill accepts BTC in some countries, but who will want to use it with a 1% free?
Bank transfers are without any fee, so they remain the best option.

Do you convert your BTC into fiat for much cheaper than 1% and move to your bank? if you use exchange you have fees right?

skrill deposit via BTC is available in my country, but not withdraw.

From what I know Skrill does not directly accept bitcoin. What that email you received means is that Skrill does not mind someone purchasing funds through bitcoin from third party sources.

That is a great news that the usage of bitcoin is spreading over the market and everyone is going to be convinced to use bitcoin. I have some funds in skrill but I do not know that how to transfer them to skrill because I do not have spend much time with skrill but only got a payment from a company for completing a task for it and from that time they are at there.

However I have one question, can I withdraw directly to my bank account after upload through bitcoin , the USD or EUR in my case as I am in EU?

No you can not. But you can do what this guy said:

Actually skrill allows BTC deposits indirectly, let me explain you. You can open a neteller account and deposit with bitcoins there ( they take just 1% fees ) then then you can upload from neteller to skrill ( the fees is 3% ) so actually you get BTC to skrill at just 4% fees.

I use this process too, even yesterday I made this process for to be able to transfer to my bank account.

That's very sad to know. I can do this via Bitpanda for about 4% fee which is the same and I don't have to use to payment processors, I can only use Skrill and Bitpanda which I am already doing.

Still it's a good thing, a very good one that Skrill started accepting bitcoin directly.

Shit, did I leave the stove on?

Can we use the deposited Bitcoins on websites that accept Skrill payments? And does Skrill offer a virtual debit card like Neteller does? I am looking for a cheaper way to purchase fiat goods with Bitcoin and also withdraw to my bank account with less fees.

You can now directly deposit money via btc into your skrill account. The fee is just 1%:

I was not seeing this option and just checked now. It is really true, a dream come true to me as no need anymore to use the fees of Bitpanda which are clearly higher to receive the money in Skrill. I can upload directly now.

OP : Actually you solved a big problem of mine. I was trading with a user on localbitcoins named " carlacosta" and he/she was charging me like 15-20% fees I guess and now I am really glad you gave me this site.
Well, there are uses who give me skrill at 1-2% fees on localbtcoins but I prefer highly trusted ones due to reversible nature of skrill.

Quote from: FaucetRank.com on December 04, 2016, 01:56:54 AM

paypal should also allow deposit through bitcoin, as other payment processors allowing.

It may happen at any time, they are already partnering with coinbase for this reason.

Paypal need to hurry up and get on that. I like neteller but would much prefer to go via paypal tbh. Would be nice to see the 1% fee down to 0.5% or something. Maybe for bigger deposits they could lower the %.

Is this truth can someone else confirm this ?

I have been using skrill for years and gets email every time they add some new feature or merchants to their service.
I didn't get any email in this regard but now I will ask their support if it is true and post their reply here

But it is confirmed by many members here that Skrill has added new functionality to accept bitcoin deposits with some third party collaboration. I guess you need to check your mail's spam folder. Some time it may happen like only some specific emails (even it is from trusted sender) to get marked as spam.
