Anybody with funds tied up in Neteller

I received a payout just before the cutoff, and originally thought it was fortunate. After a week of waiting, neteller customer service said today that it could take 4-6 weeks to process the withdrawal because they are currently inundated with requests from US residents. They suggested getting one of their atm cards which 'might' speed things up.

They also said they are not currently accepting eft deposits from US residents.

Hi Dre, long time no see!!

It's my understanding that the only way to withdraw funds from NT is thru check or ATM card, and I'm inclined to believe they're inundated with requests now. It probably *would* be faster to get an ATM card, but then you'd never use it again anyway.

Hey peeps! Back from a bit of a hiatus I guess.

EFT withdrawals are still available, but these are what's tying up the system bc everyone - mainly 1,000's of players - are requesting them. I'll probably take my chances on the atm route, even if it's just for a 1-time use.

I did an EFT withdrawal on 1/19 and still being "pending".
Don't know if that helps you, but thought I'd share.

i called them and they said it can take 2 weeks for an eft and 6 to 8 weeks for a check. wow - that sucks!!!

Same thing here... My EFT is "pending" They have no reason to process them quickly - it is people who will not be using their service anymore.
I dont understand why electronic funds transfers are taking so long... I could understand if they need to cut and mail checks, but not for electronic exchanges.

My Neteller EFT is pending as well since 1/17.

About that Neteller ATM card. I clicked on the link that said "click here to apply" and that was it. Once you click the link, your application is automatically submitted. I actually wanted to just see what kind of questions they asked on the application. I really didn't intend to submit the application at that time, but there is no application. Once you click the link, your application is submitted. There is a charge for dormant accounts so if you get an account and don't use it for 30 days, there is a $5 charge. I just plan to close it out once I get it and get the rest of my money out anyway. I don't think I will have a need for it after that. It said to allow up to 3 weeks to receive it. There is no processing fee for US citizens, and that beats 6-8 weeks for checks.

I don't know if this may help anyone but I have about $700.00 in my paypal account which I could transfer to someones paypal account if you are able to do a member to member transfer to my Neteller account.
PM me if you want to give it a try.

TopBoss' method worked for me after everything shut down.

I did NT to PP exchanges with someone at CAP and, although it posted as 'denied' the exchange went through after he accepted. We did two exchanges and my NT is cleaned.

When I saw the 'denied' on my NT account, I called NT and they said member to member exchanges are OK.

I can't speak for today but it should still be working.

What's bothering me is, if I transfer everything to UK servers and get an offshore mailing address, I don't think I can use my NT account for payments or even open a new account with them. Anyone have anything to offer on this note? I'm not moving anything until I get the money sorted...
