Moneybookers is just such a bad site

More problems with RegisterFly. StormPay have now cut off all payments that are not auctions or something so you can’t pay via StormPay anymore. As usual RegisterFly are not on the ball and have just left the link up so you can follow the link to pay via StormPay only to be told by the StormPay website you can’t pay.

So I went on the live chat thing and asked what was happening with StormPay and whether it would be back. The answer I got was…

We do not support StormPay anymore

Real useful there. So I decided that I would have to go back to Moneybookers or it would mean giving my credit card details to RegisterFly. That means going to the site, clicking the “I already have an account actually” link, logging in, selecting pay via account balance, logging in again, transfering money from my credit card and then going to pay.

But this wasn’t the end of it. They charge you a 1% fee on sending money so you have to have 1% more in you’re account than you need to cover the payment. Of course it keeps this fact hidden when you are loading you’re account and indeed, doesn’t tell you it won’t let you make the payment anywhere on the site – you have to email support to find out that.

So I had to go back and move more money from my credit card to my account and the minimum is £0.69 and I only needed about £0.09 so now they have another £0.60 of mine sitting in their account. It’s a complete scam, stay away from Moneybookers as much as possible.
