I have only ever used IGM or Firepay. Is it worth my time to set up Neteller? What advantages does Neteller have over the other two deposit options I have used? Also when doing an e-check, do you have to enter an actual check number or will any number work fine?
Thanks

I also only use IGM and FirePay.
Last I checked, NetTeller--unlike Firepay--gives you the option of doing a "non-instant" deposit (it takes a few business days to go through). This option is either free or has a very small fee. But if you do want an "instant" transaction, then Neteller's fee was more expensive than Firepay's. Thats why I went with Firepay.
I always just make up a number to put as the "check number" whenever I do an online check transaction.

Johnny,
I use Neteller and yes you do have the option of using the fast instant or using the reg way. The non instant has a small fee of like 7.9% I can be wrong I havent checked but will once I get home. I used the non instant transaction but, it is just like instant if you call neteller to verify your checking things and stuff like that. Once it is all verified with Neteller your funds will be available instantly.
I use it and have no problem with it.

neteller is free if you use EFT (electronic fund transfer)
that functions like a regular check/cheque and takes 4 or 5 business days for it to "clear"
if you do the instant funds then they charge.

Yep. Use EFT and it's free, but it takes a few days to clear. "Instacash" has a big fee. I've used Neteller for a year and it works like a charm.

I only have paypal, and am living out of the US right now (in Ireland). I have a neteller account though.
Would anyone here be able to take a paypal transfer from me and make a transfer to neteller for me?

Why cant you just draft it from your bank account to neteller if you have an account w/ neteller?
