Title: Does anybody use Skrill to receive payments?
Post by: JohnTravolski on June 15, 2020, 14:44
I've been using Paypal to accept payments so far but I'm considering using additional methods to accept payments (primarily to avoid the double income reporting problem). I noticed that both Pond5 and Adobe Stock accept Skrill, which I have never used and know nothing about. I noticed that on Pond5, if I choose Skrill, I get a message:

"Due to fees charged by Skrill, 4% of your payment will be deducted at each payout. Consider a Payoneer option to avoid this fee."

Which I obviously don't want. However, Adobe Stock does not present me with such a warning. I'm not sure if Skrill always charges this fee or if there's a difference between the way Adobe Stock and Pond5 have Skrill set up.

Does this fee apply to Adobe Stock as well? Does anybody use Skrill to accept payments? If so, why?

Really, I'd like to know. I get the impression that there isn't any fee with Adobe Stock, but I'm not sure. Can anybody speak from experience?

Adobe doesn't charge that fee for European contributors.
