Updates to Payment Methods for non-US based freelancers

[Robley G]

Hi Brian,

Is it really instant? I withdrew to my M-Pesa and I'm yet to receive my payment.

How long does it really take?

Robley.

Hi Robley,

I have not withdrawn using the mpesa option yet. Since skrill is gone, I guess i will try and use it. Whats your take on this? Sorry for the late response though. Cheers.

Susan, Happy to know Skrill is no more avaialble. I am trying to withraw my payment from last 15 days from Skrill its giving me error message. I tried many time with support team. They ae not resolving my problem and just sending Copy/Paste messages which are useless for me.

I use Skrill's direct card transfer, it takes only ~$4 to withdraw. What is the problem, why do you decide what is good for me?

[Viacheslav K]

They changed the fee today from 4.5$ for 7.5%. It became the most expensive transaction service from the other ones.

[Susan B]

That is only for uploading with a paysafe card effective April 7th. the withdrawal fees are 5.50 euros or 4.76 GBP

You removed Skrill , unfortunately for me it may be a disaster , the more withdrawal options the better , retain Skrill please .
