Skrill
reviews and complaints

I sent two large payments to people and it took the money out of my bank account but the restricted my account so i had to send a copy of my Credit Card Statement, My ID, and a picture of me holding my ID. It has been 6 hours and I have gotten nothing from CS or anyone else. Can't cancel the transfers, and can't get my money back for several days I am told.

i put 200 euros on my skrill account, now they stolen my 150 euros for no reason

When I registered my skrill account, I provided all the information required by the website and passed the comprehensive verification of skrill! It has been in normal use for several months, but I have successfully logged in to skrill since August 16, 2020. Except for some technical problems, I will not be able to log in to my personal account again until January 8, 2021. But I didn't receive any reason. This indicates that the account is limited. I need to contact customer service! I contacted skrill company as required and provided Ecuador's personal ID card, front and back, photos of personal handheld ID card and electricity bill! But when you get an answer, you have to ask for a bank statement! But I can't provide it because of my personal reasons! Because there is too much money in my bank, I can't repay it! Therefore, the bank restricts me from using all the business of the bank!
I sent a support request to skrill asking how to remove restrictions on my account. I received this reply in a short time (attached is a screenshot):

I'm trying to access my skrill account now, but I can't sign in anymore with the error "your account has been permanently closed". But I still have more than 3400 dollars in my personal account! However, I was unable to obtain these funds for transfer or recovery, and since the above reply, skril did not respond to my subsequent attempts to contact them.
I don't think I violated their terms and conditions - skrill didn't provide any evidence. My skrill account has passed all the verification required by their company. They accepted my previous deposits and transfers and transferred them to work websites and individuals. In addition, they now have funds that I can't use and charge me for their unfinished services.

It's taken almost a week for them to resolve this issue with my account and still not done yet I was asked to upload documents for verification which I did and they keep getting rejected but it clearly shows my driver's license identification, bank transactions, credit card verification and current address verification I'm so frustrated with their poor service.

I have been using Skrill since March this year and have sent a small transfer (around $100) once a month. Other than a few technical issues, I've had not problems making these payments until last month. Last month, when I tried to make a transfer, Skrill temporarily restricted my account, asking for further information to confirm my identity. I immediately provided this information including copies of my Australian Government-issued ID. Skrill then unrestricted my account, send me an email my account was verified and allowed me to make the transfer.

Today, I deposited $100 USD into my account in order to make a transfer. Skrill allowed me to make this deposit and charged me a fee of $2.50 USD for the deposit. I immediately attempted to send the same amount to the same person to whom I've sent a number of successful payments through Skrill in the past, but I was unable to make the transfer and Skrill notified me that my account had been temporarily restricted, without giving any reason.

I sent a support request to Skrill asking how I could un-restrict my account, and I received this response within a short period of time (attached as screenshot):

Dear Lisa Marlin,
Thank you for contacting the Skrill Help Team.

We would like to inform you that we have made the decision to discontinue our business relationship with you under the Skrill Terms and Conditions.

Please be advised that our decision is final and irreversible.

Your understanding is appreciated.

I have now attempted to access my Skrill account but I am no longer able to log in and am given the error "your account has been permanently closed." My bank account has been charged for both the $100 and $2.50 USD but I cannot access these funds to either transfer or recover them, nor has Skrill responded to my subsequent attempts to contact them since the above response.

I do not believe that I have violated their terms and conditions - Skrill has not provided any evidence of this, and they accepted my previous deposits and transfers of the same nature and to the same person. Furthermore, they now have possession of my funds which I cannot access, as well as charging me a fee for service which they didn't complete.

On the 10th of August 2021 at 8.35 hrs GMT, I received payment from another skrill account by name 'Grace Olajumoke Ojuolape' the sum of 22.33 USD as shown in the attached screen shot tagged "A" below.

On the 10th of August, 2021, few hours after the deposit, I tried depositing fund (15 USD) into my IC Markets account via Skrill and it was declined for the following reasons:
1. That I don't have enough money in my balance.
2. That my balance is 0.00 USD.
3. That my available balance excludes 22.33 USD reason being that the amount was deposited via a Mastercard, which can't be used to make payment online. Attached is the screenshot of this tagged "B" below.

I contacted Skrill the same day (10th August) filing in for 'Payment Failure' stating my ordeal clearly but received a VAGUE response. Screenshot "C" is attached. I filed another complaint the next day (11th of August) requesting why my fund was excluded from the available balance the response was that I used Mastercard in depositing WHICH ISN'T SO as the mode was stated in the first paragraph. Screenshot "D" is attached. They requested that I close the case of which I declined and to my surprise, the case has been closed in less than the speculated 24 hours grace. Screenshop "E" attached.

I have retried to fund my IC Markets account again, even with a lesser amount but the same result still.

I have transferred the amount £ 1000 and didn't get the amount in my account yet even though it is not updated yet like I received the amount. 
Please confirm and let me know
see the attached screenshot for reference as I transferred the money from HSBC bank account.

Please look into the matter on urgent basis.

Skrill has closed my account without notice after I have deposited on my account. The account is fully verified and they refuse to withdraw my money and refuse to disclose the reason why they have closed the account. The fact is that they steal my money!
Contacted by phone they reply to wait for their email, which is always an automated messages.

Payment was collected from my account on 18/05/2021. INR 1253.96 as per screenshot of their message attached herewith. Despite repeated request, they have so far neither returned payment to my account nor transferred money to the merchant.

Skrill has restricted my account for two weeks now without any response or reply or reason why. I have had money refunded from FTMO and they have frozen this money and cannot access this I have bills to pay and this made it really difficult for me. About two years ago I have been scammed by sending someone money by skrill and Skrill couldn't do anything about it but now they can freeeze my money without any information and this delay this is really disappointing and would never use Skrill ever again I want my Money refunded ASAP

I won some money while under a different email address than I have now the reason was because I got a new computer and it said to update my email to which I did. When I won the money I had to deal with skrill because j p c uses others to pay people out there winnings.. I thought it was going to be a problem cause of that and it has been. My money was paid to moneybookers 2234 [protected] on the 26.4.2021. I live in the bush where my reception is not that great the signal is in and out I use tethering by phone. All I want is my money refunded to which I have won fair and square. I get sent information from all different people from skrill telling me what to do and it just goes around in a circle all the time. My reception is not that great and I dont have time to go into town as I work out of town. Im ready to give up trying to get a resolution and I want a refund please.

I have withdrawal amount from skrill to my bank account on 23 feb after several mail and messages the amount returned to skrill on April 5 not able to withdrawal amount from skrill. Rs.13029

Skrill didn't refund my 300$ after giving them my bank statement with all details. Now they told me that they didn't offer any refund. My money in my account that service they give me but now it's their money. I have sent them my two bank statement of two different bank. But they told me there have confusion about authenticity of my documents.
Shame on skrill. They scam minimum 300 million usd in bangladesh for last two years. They hold my money for 5 months.
Skrill finished my life

I sent them a bank statement in which my full name is written clearly and in bold and they keep rejecting it saying that it is not issued in my name that is regestered in skrill account. I called them and showed one of them where my name is stated clearly and in bold . He told me that the problem will be soon treated since he saw my name written correctly. After one day they sent me an email rejecting the document again. I wrote them an email and attached the document in it pointing to my name. After about an hour, they answered with an email saying that the case has been escalated and will take a few days. I am working and really need my skrill . They keep disabling my account for something that can be done in seconds. This is total irresponsibility

But skrill was respond still it's not credited, I have uploded with proof with bank statement, later no respond from skrill I really lost my patience. I lost trust on skrill also, I am using skrill from 2018 this was the first time I am facing this issue, I don't know the reason behind that, I hope complaintsboard solve my problem thanks.

My Skrill account is fully verified but still asking for more documents.
I was in another country working, specifically Malta, so I was signing from there but also my wife was signing from Macedonia.

I have provided all my statements from Revolut, downloaded my statement from my app send them my new passport but that wasnt enough.

Every time my documents were rejected so I lost my patience with them because this is going on almost for a year.

Dont understand if there people working do know their jobs?

I am trying to close my account and withdraw all my funds. Skrill have restricted my account saying my credit card is not verified.
I don't even have a credit card!
I sent them my bank statement with skrill transaction on it but they said they can't accept that!
Customer service very slow to respond and don't seem to want to help
