twosquare:
it has been an issue on Payoneer for years ... That's been one of their lapses they need to close up. I don't know how but they should. Some even opined that they are connivers..... anyhow, I guess you don't use it for online shopping.

I've been using Payoneer over 5 years. Only started experiencing this this year.

I don't quite buy the compromised ATMs because if that is the case my GTB mastercard will have wreaked caused havoc since.

Payoneer user since 2009, experienced it for the first time this year. Funny enough, I remember seeing two guys close to the Ecobank ATM where it happened in Asokoro just milling around with no particular purpose. I strongly suspect they had a skimming machine.

Anyway I reported, got my funds back. We are now pursuing the case..

Ditching Payoneer withdrawals permanently. They are asking me to order a new card via DHL, for the 3rd time this year.

Rubbish. No chance.

coderXO:


You've not been following. There is no difference is exchange rates in banks except the daily normal currency fluctuations.

I use whatever ATM is closest to me when I need to withdraw.

That been said, I'm soon going to dump this card and just use wires very soon.

Wires is more expensive bro

Nope. For larger amounts they are better than Payoneer.

Hello my peopo, how una dey? Boiz still dey hussle, we wan be like ladywriter.

@samplaner, your tori is very disheartening. Naturally, I don't like biddibg on a project I am invited for. Both writer96 n writingmania have invited me, I didn't respond to them. I no dey like make babe dey toast me, I prefer to do d toasting.

E get one Australian wet I work, d dude deposit 8k AUD inside him FL account but e no[color=#006600][/color] too dey get jobs sha. People dey splash money anyhow. Dude was nice tho, he even offered to pay me more but I told him to forget it and stick to our agreement.

And to chidinho, am sorry about the money withdrawal, them go pay you but ba correct F'up by FL. I am glad to inform you that I've got two middle East dudes that am working for. Those boiz just pack their papa money come dey school for a whole CA, fear of living expenses no even grip them . It makes me feel like, 9ja, maka why? We have this oil too. Gradually I go dey expand my ministry with those two guyz.

Anyway, I've had to reject two jobs after they were awarded to me. I agreed to work for them but after two or three hours, I will inform them to find another person. The first one was a transcription job, d dude offered to pay $10 aud per hour. But the job na die and he wants 6hours of recording in 12 hours. Oh boi, I no know say that tin na die. Would have done it if he had given me 48hours. I jejely tell am make he forget am, after spending 1hour on 1000words. Each hour of recording is about 9000 words. I know say I go eventually disappoint am, so make I kuku disappoint am on time. The other client wants three thousand words in 16hours on ten topics. Time was too short n when I started d job, I realized that there was scarcity of materials. I tell am say I no do. I no want make them come spoil my 5star rating wey I dey maintain. NOTE: they only awarded me the job, I do not accept until I've checked the feasibility of work. Can I offer quality? Can I finish on time?

Hopefully, guyman go buy ASUS x205 lappy as soon as am able to withdraw. The lapi get only 32gig, no CD room. But it will come preinstalled with office suite and the tin wey Trip me pass na the 12hour ba3. I call it the UNDEAD.

See u guyz soon. Hustling continua.

chai you just activate freshness for writing, na you be boss, abeg show us the way na, lol, mentor us make we know were the fish dey, I just read one article for FL by FL staffs, that article just save me plenty trouble on how to bid and other things on FL

I am intersect in going full time on FL, abeg highlight me on the best and surest thinngs to
help me explain a little on transcribing

Godmother:
I need some articles written. Good writer pls buzz me

You are right especially when you consider the USD 5 loading fee and the USD 3 per 20, 000 on the ATM. Are you wiring it to a dom account or a normal savings account?

Why not chat with the support team on the possibility of transferring your money directly to your bank account. I have never used my payoneer card since I got because my money is always directly transferred. Don't know if it's freelancer or payoneer that does it. You can chat them up.

@eripecs Please which support team did you chat with payoneer or freelancer support team? re they deductions made before transfer? at what exchange rate does this transfer get to you?

Awaiting your response. Thanks

Correct.

Wiring to a domiciliary account. Never give anyone a chance to change currencies for you; they will rip you off.

The $3 per card use, plus 1% deduction on the market exchange rate.

Collect your $$$ cash (wire) and go to ab0ki and collect black market rate.

But this is only applicable to large amounts, if you can wait for your funds to accumulate; it much more worth your while.

Yes I've heard of that but your funds get converted at international market rate which will be some 10% less than ab0ki rate.

Can't believe i just lost a $100 proofreading job, just because i shut down my laptop for 10 minutes. kai ( e dey pain me ooo)... na why i hate freelancer o..if your employer no meet you online when in need you, your name na SORRY....I think say i for break record , making $150 in one day. Well, God no why sha.

deekseen:
If you are a newbie seeking reviews and you are a good articles writer, especially on research, PM me.

drop your emails.

Pls what is the procedure for getting a wire transfer and what's the least amount you suggest I leave the money to get to? Someone I know got their payoneer acct compromised. I nor fit shout, after all these sleepless nights.

Sorry... Don't you have an android phone or tablet? I bought a tablet (8 inch) just two weeks ago from my freelancing earnings. I learnt this while I was using only laptop and I know I can't stay by lappy all day. That's why you need one, at least for instant online messaging from employers. Anytime my tab vibrates, I know that's a message from an Employer, and I respond immediately. Please go get one, it will help you a lot. Battery wise too, it's advantageous.

I need a reliable and good article writer. I want to transfer my workload to the person. I have about 10 articles at $2 per article. Any interested person should contact me on whatsapp: 08084092939. Preferably, a newbie. Very urgent.

You have a domiciliary account. The very least you should withdraw will be $500 (versus using your card).

If you have exactly $500 in your account and choose to wire it today, it will hit your dom. account in Nigeria as $450.
To withdraw, your bank will charge 0.5% so; $450 - $2.25 = $447.55 ( x 220 current BM rate ) = N98,505

This same $500, you withdrew via ATM will turn out to be, $500 / $106 (N20,000) = 4.76 times

This means you will use your ATM approximately 5 times getting something close to N95,200 (more like N94,000 because on your 5th withdrawal, you actually won't get a full N20,000 but still get $3 charge on the withdrawal).


The higher over $500 the better, your Naira return becomes much better because regardless of the amount: $500 or $5000; the most you will get charged on the withdrawal is $50 (plus that 0.5%). So instead of withdrawing $500 ten times over a period, getting charged $50 ten times over that period. Your $5000 gets charged $50 once because you waited.

Hopefully all will understand this break down.

@eripecs payoneer does not carry out this option for our country, because of your banking policy. So, I wonder how you did yours.
