Did someone tried with Skrill (I know that it isn't possible on Neteller) to use the converted bitcoins with the card?

I have tried made deposit via bitcoins to skrill everything went fine, of course with small amount of bitcoins Grin

and i have tried made deposit using bitcoins on neteller and it was worked fine, unfortunately i don't have debit card of neteller so i don't know about that.

I guess not USD to BTC option yet, right? That one would be very nice and interesting. Does anyone know any cheap option to go between Paypal and BTC.

Yes and the bitcoin's price use https://bitpay.com for convert automatic bitcoins to fiat on skrill, it is nice rate than other services are like bitcoin debit cards and we can make upload money to neteller account using bitcoins with same ways is like skrill too and all of them are same.

Anyone able to confirm who they use to determine the value of BTC? A lot of places use things like "1% fee" but are using a processor that also has their own fee, such that you're paying far more.

Im guessing they are partners with coinbase or bitpay?

Can anyone confirm is the rate decent for funds upload, if they use finex rate 1% would mean nothing.

Oh I see that coming Cheesy

and Philippines also one of countries that selected to upload in skrill via bitcoin as what I see in my skrill. Its really amzing that this big companies are slowly adopting bitcoin. We'll see the good future of bitcoin. Grin

The issue is that while they do accept it, all they are doing is turning it back into fiat (selling it) most likely. That means when you buy BTC, you push the price up, when you convert it through Skrill, it gets pushed back down (in theory). But it does push the idea that it's a currency, rather than investment vehicle.

Regardless, having skrill accept bitcoin opens a lot of opportunities for Bitcoin itself. If bitcoin is successfully integrated and adopted by skrill this event can be a good precedent for other companies to accept bitcoin. If paypal will follow skrill that would be a major leap for bitcoin's acceptance. Buying and selling or investing doesn't matter, it's a good thing.

another site is available to upload money via bitcoin, i think its a good for us to know this because we have another option, i think it can make the other payment site will do like skrill. but for me, i think its still better to make buy and sell order with someone we know and not make a site with online, because its more safe and secure for us to make a deal.

This is really old news. I remember they started taking it... I don't even know 2 or maybe even 4 months ago? Either way it's old news but good for the bitcoin price of course!

Massive price drop coming...

This is good news because many people here are using skrill for bitcoin and now skrill increase or added the feature to accept bitcoin in skrill and i hope more adoption will come with bitcoin.. how about buying bitcoins with skrill?
It can be more advantage if they can use skrill also to buy bitcoins?

Actually I am not so interested in this feature because I am still trying to increase my coins instead of selling them.

However this is a good news to the bitcoin ecosystem as a confirmation of the increased interest of new and larger firms to be part of this altcoin world, which undoubtedly will generate more certainty and reliability in the bitcoin.

I am not sure where you find this news.I saw a other guy post this same like you.I cant find any news where Skrill allows bitcoin.also dont get any message from Skrill that they accept bitcoin.I think its their own message there are many exchange website they accept bitcoin that does not mean Skrill allows bitcoin.I checked my Skrill wallet there have no option to deposit and withdraw via Skrill.

That makes sense since Skrill/Moneybookers were acquired by Neteller some time ago. Anyway the question is how do you get Skrill money back to Bitcoin? Are there exchanges that accept Skrill deposits? We should celebrate only if the road goes both ways. If we could only deposit to Skrill but have no way to get money back to Bitcoin then all that would do is keep milking money out of the Bitcoin economy.

You can convert your Skrill into btc on bitcointalk currency exchange page or on localbitcoins. I used to trade between skrill/neteller and BTC and it was smooth everytime ive done so. Skrill to btc is safer than the other way around. As when you are buying skrill on localbitcoin or on this forum you might come across someone who has acquired those funds through credit card fraud. Its good that skrill is a part of that exchange as well. No more dealing with potential credit card fraudsters.

Good to see skrill now accepted bitcoin officialy, they offering competitive rate all we know that neteller offering bitcoin's deposit fee is also 1%. ( well, i heard that both of them are owned by the same company ) i have a skrill account but not too often to transaction with it, sadly it's for select countries only, however it's good for those who want to buy something with bitcoin where bitcoin is not supported out there, the alternative is use this service.

This is a service by skrill they can not tell you it is not allowed like paypal does.

I really want this!
Shame it's for select countries only. I'm not seeing it for my upload options! I hope they open it to more countries soon..
And the fees are even way lower than Neteller and credit/debit cards. I don't even care about the withdrawal right now. Just open it to more countries.

I think it's not Skrill fault, they must agree with countries terms to offer their service there. similiar to Paypal, there are countries with restrictions about some features of this service. Every payment system keeping relations with banks and ''legalizated'' with government seal have these issues. Too many rules they must agree.
