Re: Unichange.me - buy and sell BTC-e USD codes,Perfect Money,EgoPay,ePayments,etc

I do not promote anybody, I just try two services with same task where one of them is cheaper (you - but far away from advertised fee) and the other one (paybis - more expensive, but straight forward with no hidden fees).

I also do not understand why do you have to use that kind of business tactics when you have actually better price.

My posts here are only because I want to warn people about hidden fees. Besides that, I have no problem with you - as i write before, transaction was processed smoothly.

Edited: Just find on my Facebook, that I am not only one who notices that discrepancy in your fees - screenshot http://prntscr.com/f5r1fn.

Hello criddler!

Our service fee is  for direction Bitcoin to Paypal EUR is 1.9%, Bitcoin to Paypal USD is 3%.
There are no hidden fees on our website. If there is fee of the payment system for sending the payment, it is also indicated on the order page.
The difference in the amount is caused by the difference in BTC rates taken from different Bitcoin exchanges.

We always do our best to provide customers with best possible fees and service!
Should you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Support.


Well, this difference goes hard against your customers, so you should consider to use market price (bitstamp, kraken etc.). There is no excuse to use some shitty bitcoin rate !!

I have also example when BTC rate actually doesn't matter. Right now OKPAY to BTC costs 1535$ for 1 BTC, advertised fee is 4.9%. Reversal transaction is free of fee. Changing back 1 BTC to OKPAY, i recieve 1420$ which is 7.5% less than my initial amount. So where are the missing dollars hidden? I hope at least that you use one BTC rate for buying and selling, please don't say that you have spread between buy and sell BTC price 2.6%.

7.5% total real fee vs. 4.9% advertised fee.
Here everyone can see it very clearly. Hidden fee is "only" 2.6% compared to BTC to Paypal transfers.

I use it to transfer BTC to Paypal, arround 500usd, fees are little high 5-10% and they change them very often .. i saw three difference fees (5%, 8%, 10%) for just previous week.

Transfer was made just fine, no problems, i recieved money on PayPal right after BTC transaction was confirmed.

I prefer another company PayBis.com, but if you like hidden fees (other than it is advertised) you can use also unichange.me.

I transfer from both to PayPal, both transactions are made very fast, with no problem.

Hi, i am kind a new member here, but I hope people will appreciate this post.

I tried unichange.me service, BTC to PayPal EUR, and money arrived fine - very fast, i trusted them. But problem is hidden - on theirs page
https://unichange.me/fees they write that fee of transfer BTC to PayPal EUR is 1,9% and BTC to PayPal USD is 3%.
I tried to contact them but their responses are like these:
Unichange.me service follows Bitcoin rate of one of the famous Bitcoin platform.
- what platform? they can't say to me Huh


I give you realtime (19:40 28.04.2017) example of real transfer costs:

BTC market price right now is: 1BTC = 1317 USD, 1 BTC = 1208 EUR, for prices i used Bitstamp, but other exchanges have very similar rates, so we can use it as benchmark.
Unichange.me euros rate is 1 BTC = 1115 EUR (fees are included) - screenshot http://prntscr.com/f1xzr5.
Unichange.me usd rate is 1 BTC = 1239 USD(fees are included) - screenshot http://prntscr.com/f1y06m.

So what are the REAL fees of this service?
When you use BTC to Paypal EUR, you recieved 1115 EUR, which is 8,3% less than current market rate 1208 EUR and far away from advertised fees 1,9% !

When you use BTC to Paypal USD you recieved 1239 USD, which is 6,3% less than market rate. Again you can compare this to advertised fees 3%.

So be aware of hidden fees when you used this service!
I am not looking on other transfer options, but due very low advertised fees they seems to me suspicious too.



P.S.: I also tried https://paybis.com/buy-paypal-with-bitcoin/. They have fees right now 10% (BTC to PayPal) - it is actually more than unichange.me, but they not hiding anything from you (I am not part of their project, just simple customer) and money arrived very fast too.

How does the Activity count? I read that it is usually less than posts count.
