How it works...
Buyer and seller agree on the purchase of the merchandise. Example: buyer wins an online auction.

Seller ships the merchandise (via a previously agreed shipping service).
Buyer accepts the merchandise. The buyer has 14 days to accept the merchandise, reject it or claim non-delivery.
The payment is released to the seller's Moneybookers account. The transaction securely completed.
Fees: Our fee is paid by the buyer and is 1% of the purchase price (but a minimum of EUR 2).
Sellers
