How long does it take for a sponsor payment be available at Payoneer???
 

I received my first sponsor payment on Payoneer.

To my surprise, after getting the payment, you have to load your card with it, to be able to withdraw.

You basically have 2 choices: immediate load (for a $3 fee) or manual load (for free).

Since I wasn't in a hurry, and it said that the manual load would be available in 24 hours, I chose that option.

It's been 36 hours now, and the money is STILL not available.

So I have to ask: how long does it REALLY take to become available on the manual load?? Anyone with experience with them care to give your input here??

And what's up with this ridiculous $3 "loading fee"? I have to pay that fee + the withdraw fee + the withdraw % to be able to get my money? Is that it?????

I'm not happy. :mad:

That's the problem. In the US all these services are basically for people with no choice -- those who cannot get bank accounts. Since their customers typically have no choice they are full of ridiculous fees and policies. You are from Brazil (and the situation is thus different), but the overall reality of these services is still basically the same since from what I understand they primarily target Americans.

The manual load are usually available at 11 PM Pacific Time on the day they are scheduled to load. It's mentioned on the load options menu but can be quite easy to miss.

Just wait for it, it gets better. When you receive payment from someone who's not your original card issuer and perhaps has some different, cheaper contract. Then you get dinged $2 for the manual load, and have to wait two days and $5 for the immedieate load which you still need to wait 2 hours for.

Then you again get dinged with some hefty withdrawal fees when you either pay or want your money out.

I will probably stay with Payoneer till after Christmas, let things settle in a bit. Then I will go out shopping for a new payment handler and hoping that my current favorite catches on a bit till then.

Oh, and finally, don't forget the lovely, enjoyable account fee which Payoneer dings you with. $2 a month, just to piss you off just a little extra!

don't be a cheapass and pay the fee?

use something different
there is a lot of other choices

myself I think Payoneer system it too complicated to setup payments from sponsor and it's also rather high fees comparing to other

Just go with Paxum and you'll get rid of the ridiculous Payoneer fees

Payoneer is simply a big cash grab. The system is designed in a way for them to charge high fees at maximum waypoints. Stay away if there are any options.

Just make sure you always do this:

Have $657.38 in account,

Only buy something for $650 tops because they are going to hit you with fees for using it. Then if it's denied because you got to close with the fees added, you end up with a fee for that too!

paxum charges declined transaction fees as well.
