You said they take :
- the amount i requested from my balance Wtf is that ? you mean fees ? if so than it better than bit-X .
- the fee for conversion from usd to my local currency - everyone knows that, it has nothing to do with skrill
- the ATM usage fee (bank takes that) everyone knows that, it has nothing to do with skrill
Loook Bit-X has crazy rules and fees. Simply they are motherfuckers!
Let me break it down for you;
When i want to make ATM withdrawal from :
- bitx : 0,01 btc fee + 3% bank commission (on 1000 USD, fees are ~ 3,6 %)
- Skrill; first i loose about 5-10% exchanging btc to skrill here on forum, then additional ~4% in currency conversion and ATM fee's (on 1000 USD, that's ~ 9-14 %)
My advice to you is to use POS payments and purchase goods directly in store, and in larger sums, due to 0,002 btc fee per transaction.
cheers
This is exactly reason why you should stick to using bitcoin directly or fiat directly maybe other altcoin/payment system on their own but without mixing things up.
Exchange rates and fees when you are using bitcoin via some 3rd party service are bad. Skrill exchange rates are bad. Boycott these services and aim for the direct bitcoin adoption!
