Why would you think Neteller is a not a money transmitter or money service business ? That is what they do already ....

I loved this feature but this is becoming a joke!

Look at the bottom of your Neteller account deposit page.

Effective 10 September 2015, Bitcoin deposit fee changes to 5.0%

If they would introduce a fee of 0.5 % I might still use this feature but 5 % is a rip-off in my opinion.

Every exchange i find online is 7-10%

Im not talking about poor 20$ transfers, please dont come back with a deal for 1% with a guy offering a 50$ transfer.

I think your comparison is wrong... Neteller is no bitcoin exchange, they simply use the solution offered by bitpay (like Expedia, Dell and all the other merchants who have no interest in actually holding bitcoins) to accept BTC payments. And bitpay´s pricing is extremely cheap and therefore I don´t really see why Neteller is introducing this fee (except pure greed).

I wasn´t talking about localbitcoins or the 2+2 HSNL xfer thread at all.

I can´t be the only one who used this feature and I will avoid using it as soon as they implement these fees.

NT share price looks like it has been on the slide for some time now. Accepting Bitcoin to try and get some turnover. Surely they can think of better strategies for their business.

Get Bitcoin exchanges to accept Neteller deposits.

Are you required to have a bank account attached to a Neteller account? If not, this means that you can have a Neteller account and not need any bank interference to make a deposit, right? And if PStars ships cash back to Neteller (on a withdrawal), then couldn't you spend that money via your Neteller debit card? This would mean that you could effectively go and play PStars in another country without having to establish a bank account there, right?

Seems about right... but then again, you could open an acc, have it verified and have another Neteller user shipping funds to your account, right?

I mean, I think it would be just about the same as to not linking the Neteller acc with a bank.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

But if I deposit $100 on Neteller using bitcoin, use it to play on Stars, run it up to $400 and cash it out from Stars to Neteller it's not "money deposited using Bitcoin" any more, correct? Someone should actually try this.

That would completely avoid any issues with opening a local bank account or needing someone with Mexico neteller.

Hey guys,

just wanted to let you know, that you can now sell Bitcoin for NETELLER funds on https://www.coinimal.com. The funds are completely unrestricted and can also be used for the NET+ card. Limits for unverified customers are 500€ per day.

(PS: Coinimal is the only merchant that offers NETELLER --> Bitcoin)
