Re: If you\'re a Canadian whore...
[ QUOTE ]
If you are not in a hurry to use the money, checks sent by Neteller in US funds are a good option. You can deposit them into your US dollar account without a problem. I've done this twice and have received the checks by mail in 7 days both times. Neteller takes a $2 fee for each check, so a $1000 USD check gets dinged with only a 0.2% fee (i.e. 2/1000 = = .002). [/ QUOTE ] This is what I do. I get my cheques usually within 3 working days.

Re: If you\'re a Canadian whore...
Have the money mailed to you in a check from Neteller. That way you duck the 2% fee going into your Canadian bank. If you want it the next day it only costs $11 flat fee so take out your money in 3-5K chunks (or more) and you'll hardly pay anything at all for the service. Then deposit it into your USD-denominated account.

Re: If you\'re a Canadian whore...
I always do my withdrawals by cheque from neteller, and then I get it in cold hard american cash at the bank. I then proceed to cross the border and pump it into the Minnesota/North Dakota economies. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Amounts were never more than 5k...dunno if higher amounts would be a prob.

Re: If you\'re a Canadian whore...
hey, good to see some canadian whores. do you think we have more or less per capita?... but gosh, i want to do so much commerce online but the whole shipping (black sheep) thing is ludicrous.
this is way off-topic, but do you know if priceline.com accepts canadian addresses yet? i know there were some ways around it (american express better than visa, for example) someone suggested opening a bank account in the USA (getting a USA credit card), but i have to figure post 9-11 (And maybe before too), that's a huge no-no!!

Luckily I found out about the whole conversion cost thing before i had deposited any money into Neteller, so the switch to American dollars was free. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: If you\'re a Canadian whore...
Im from Ottawa - I came to my senses last week and re-opened my Neteller in USD. No hassle with Neteller, but you DO lose your Netpoints if that concerns you - so use em before you close down. The only hassle with a Neteller changeover is with the poker sites. I had to close all my Crypto accounts and re-open with new Neteller Account#, and now I have to wait 5-10 biz days for them to transfer my old account funds... Will Hill required an official letter from Neteller + driver's license scan from me. Absolute took the intelligent route and simply CHANGED MY 12-DIGIT ACCOUNT NUMBER lol
