Couple simple moneybookers Q's

[Tel]

I sell quite a bit of stuff on Ebay and other forums and accept money via Paypal however I'm fed up with paying their fee's so I'm looking at using Moneybookers instead.

So just a couple of questions:

1. Can people send me money via MB?
2. Can I send money to people via MB?

Looking at their site it all seems pretty straightforward and doable but just want to double check with you guys. Is there anything I should be aware of?

1. Can people send me money via MB?
2. Can I send money to people via MB?

Yes and Yes. It is incredibly quick and easy, both parties just need an E-mail address.

There is no fee to recieve money from somebody, but to send money costs 1% of the transaction up to 44p.

There are various other fees to request cheques and stuff but nothing to actually worry about, a full breakdown is here: https://www.moneybookers.com/app/help.pl?s=fees

Thanks Andy thats what I thought. One other question. If I request money and they send it to me do they still incur the 1% fee?

I have never done that before but im sure they would do yes.

Sending also seems to make them request ID. Happened to me during referrals and i've heard of other people this has happened to.
