I'm reading it as an online money exchange alternative to PayPal but I'd like to know if there is buyer protection using it? Anyone know anything about them?

I guess the biggest question is their market penetration.

What I don't like about it, is a) you have to create an extra account to which you will have to transfer money before you can actually use it (i.e. PayPal uses your normal bank account) b) Sending money to someone will cost a fee of 1%. So every time you use Moneybookers to pay something, they will collect some of your money, too. These two points make me like PayPal much better. But it's just my opinion. Regards Meuti
