    I'm sure people will rip me because ive posted twice and both have been negative, but NETeller appears to be on the verge of fucking us all.

    They no longer allow users to use the NETeller card and now they said on the phone that they are not currently allowing ANY withdrawals. I called today to ask where my card was and they said they are no longer allowing ANY TYPE of withdrawals until further notice.

    When I asked if the company was going bankrupt because they dont have the funds for all the users they would not answer and simply said that I will have to wait and see about withdrawing funds.

    Don't know what the hell to do with my 9k on there but it looks wasted.

    Does anyone know any merchants that accept NETeller (ie amazon.com) so we can spend our money before it's too late?

    Really this could go either way:

    Neteller could just not have enough money on hand to process all the withdrawals that are obviously there. Therefore, it wouldnt make sense to process some peoples withdrawals and then stop when they run out of $$$. So they could be waiting until they have enough $$$ to payout all the US funds before processing any withdrawals.

    On the other hand, they could just not have the money at all and be screwing all of you over.

    Good luck.

    Is anyone outside of U.S. getting any funds in or out of Neteller? One agent said I could transfer money to someone outside of U.S., but that was yesterday and their stories change on a daily basis. ANY TYPE of withdrawls would mean for ALL customers. Time to cut back on next year's Xmas list? What is $5K divided by.......

    "Is anyone outside of U.S. getting any funds in or out of Neteller? "

    Yes, I have received money from online sites and been able to deposit, as well as sending and receiving EFTs to my Canadian bank. The most recent EFT I sent was on Jan 19, and it arrived Jan 23.

    The problem is in the U.S. I'm sure it all has to do with legal issues with Neteller and the banks etc. I don't know what they are able to do, I'm not sure that they even know what they can do.

    I have just made two deposits to poker sites from my Neteller account. They were done instantly. I have been using Neteller throughout this U.S problem for deposits and withdrawals without any problems. I don't think that they have any liquidity problems. They are a well respected public company.

    I don't think that Neteller is trying to rip anybody off. Put the blame on your government. It doesn't do anyone any good to people to post everyday about how that Neteller is going to steal people's money. I hope (and believe) that U.S. players will get their money back when someone can figure out a way out of this mess. It may unfortunately take some time.

    Good luck everyone.

    Requested an ETF on the 24th, and I it is still pending. I am getting very nervous myself. This makes up about 20% of my BR and I really dont want it to disappear without even gambling it.

    Punker, congrats on your 1st place on 1/18!!. Have you tried any withdrawls since 19th? Don't mean to be nit, but newest info that they are not allowing ANY U.S. withdrawls and am wondering if that NOW applies to accounts outside of U.S. If in fact NT is trying to "buy some time" to raise some funds, all accounts would eventually be effected should NT go BK. Any updates appreciated.

    As per the gentleman in Netteller Sucks video,

    Everyone keeps wording it wrong and causing panic. THE NETELLER CARD STILL WORKS EXACTLY HOW IT ALWAYS DID> You can just no longer WITHDRAW from your account to the card but whatever is one the card (10k max) STILL works. ONCE it is on the card,it is considered WITHDRAWN from neteller. I used it again today. I did notice that when i logged in to neteller and clicked on card balance, it said, INFORMATION UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. but i just look at my receipt from ATM and there it is.

    This is just my opinion but I think they are gonna pay up in the end. They have the money according to 2 guys who posted yesterday and understood their financial report(WEC and another guy I cant remember but they were arguing over dumb shit). They both said they have the cash to pay up though. Then this other smart dude posted on this same page(today) and says they will pay up eventually. He's a stock guy or something(Morgan Stanley). Also, today my boss is from Greece and he told me they will probably pay up but are worried about the upcoming case. He has been following the stuff since I told him what has been going on. He says the World(countries other than US) is easily intimidated by our government and that they will pay when they are absolutely sure it is legal for them to do so.

    People are flipping and I understand why. I hope everyone gets their money. Another reason I think they want to pay is because they did leave our cards on for awhile and that P2P transfer is still open. So if you are a little extra-intuitive you can get it out. If Neteller wanted to rob us they would completely shut us out of our accounts, I would think. They will try to stay in good standing just in case somehow we can use their service again through some court ruling.

    Glad to hear the card is working and you can get more money out NSXT--you seemed very stressed the other day..too much Neteller anxiety out there--lotta people stirring the pot when they dont quite know what they are saying.

    Unfortunately, it causes a lot of people to panic--I mean some guy telling a girl asking for advice he was "100 percent" positive they would declare bankruptcy in two weeks--sell at whatever you can get.

    Just crazy stuff

    "Have you tried any withdrawls since 19th?"

    I submitted two more EFTs, for $500 and for $2000 on January 27th and 29th. Both arrived in my Cdn bank account today.
