I have today requested that my bank account be linked with Neteller to allow me to make withdrawls.

Please could someone tell me if once this is done, I am eligible for a Neteller card?

I would log onto my account to ask such a quesition, but it blocks my account if I try to log in from my work PC.

The thing with Neteller cards....

I had £200 in my Neteller account. I withdrew this to my card so that I could take it out at the ATM. They charged me £2 plus a %age which put £190.60 on my card. I then went to London yesterday to the Gutshot cardroom and tried to take out £190 from an ATM. The ATM screen said it could not process the transaction and gave me my card back. I tried again only to find my £190 has disappeared. I am now fighting to get my money back into my account. It seems that when I tried to withdraw £190 the ATM couldn't handle a foriegn card and the processing fee associated with it (bringing the total to more than my balance) and screwed it up.

I am confident I will get my money back at some point, but I shall not be using Neteller again. I have been told the fee for using an ATM to withdraw £190 would cost another £8. So in total, to get my hands on £200 that I worked hard to earn will cost nearly £20 (thats nearly $40 to you guys across the pond) to see it in hard cash (if I ever do).

Be aware.

The reason why i used the card was because it was supposed to be almost instant. Withdrawing to a bank account takes a couple of days (at least here in the UK). I needed the money the next day and couldn't wait.

BTW it is now Tuesday and I am still waiting for my money. Neteller's response is "we are performing a funds trace which can take from a few hours to several weeks" SEVERAL WEEKS! They can just FRO.
