Anyway, I have two reasons to justify the title of this post:
1) The lateness of the arrival of Paypal to some countries unlike Moneybookers.
In some countries Paypal has just arrived. This includes Mauritius. If I’m not mistaken we were added in May 2007. But Moneybookers was always available to Mauritians - I estimate since some 4 to 5 years back before Paypal comes!
2) With Paypal there’s only one option available
From Mauritius (and some others too), the ONLY thing that IS possible, is you can JUST upload money to Paypal via Credit Card and send payments! That’s all! The following options are currently not available:
- request payment
- upload funds via locak bank - bank wires (This is available only to local American Banks)
- accept payment either from business, deals or donationsMoneybookers on the other hand allows a wide range of options.
Loading …Moneybookers is a good payment processing system which is becoming increasing popular day by day among so many companies and money making sites.
By now, I have seen many Mauritian opting for Moneybookers due to the restrictions detailed in “reason 2” above. I would recommend Moneybookers to anyone who wants to have a payment processor on the net (at least you should definetly keep it handy)
Its support system is very nice too, I’ll rate them a (9/10). I had many initial questions and queries, they responded to me in a delay of 2days (that’s why I gave only 9).
Else, they are very polite, to the point and explains your confusions in a very well detailed manner!
- Some facts -
=> I have successfully uploaded money from my local bank to Moneybookers via bank wire - It took me a bit less than 48hrs (2 days).
=> You can also withdraw money from your moneybookers account to your local bank! This also takes 2days!
=> Moneybookers offers 3 types of verification (unlike paypal). As and when you make those verifications, your transaction limit is increased!
- The verifications types are: -
1) By requesting a postal letter to be sent to your home address - (Worked fine! Letters reached me in a 5 days’ time)
2) By uploading any amount of money via credit cards - (Worked fine!)
3) By uploading any amount of money from your local bank - bank wire! (Worked fine!)

=> Donation button are not available as a customized form, but they give details about you can customize your own donation button (or gateways in case of a business) yourself. This was pretty easy to do, as you can see on here.

Hi.
Good design, who make it?
Hi..thanks for taking time to read and put a comment..
The design of my blog has been specially designed and coded by myself
and I’m still trying to improve it more..
You like it?
You’re right!! I’m from Mauritius and when I read that I could not receive payments through my Paypal account I wanted to strangle the bastards who decided this!!!!
“Currently PayPal accounts in Mauritius are only able to send payments. This recipient is not eligible to receive funds.”
Why?!!
Hi Ama, thanks for your visit.. Infact I rarely find any mauritian commented on my blog..lol
Yeah, about your “why”.. well I have emailed paypal 3 times: one in oct 2006, second time in mid 2007 and third time just recently in feb 2008.
In all the 3 emails, the response from paypal was just ” we are tying our best..etc”
Apparently they are having difficulties with a possible affiliate or linking (whatever they call it) with the main banks of mauritius.
But all these reasons and reply seem pretty much lame excuses if you ask me! When Moneybookers can provide a fully functional service to us, then how come Paypal can’t?
Well.. lets hope that before the end of 2008, we see a fully functional paypal service available to us since the world is currently revolving around Paypal services most.. though I bet that in the incoming years this will not be the case..

Can somebody tell where can I buy anything useful with Moneybookers? On their website there are a couple of links - a webpage with dog food, some polish Casio shop I don’t understand, etc. I would need one NORMAL webpage to spend a little money I got on Moneybookers - a book would be nice, but I don’t know where to look.
If anybody knows a page with a variety of products, please post it or send to abcdlmnog@hotmail.com.
Thanks.
