[IP] CAUTION IN THE USE OF SKYPE IF YOU BUY ADDITIONAL SERVICES
When I purchased SkypeOut I was offered two ways of paying. One was Paypal
and one was MoneyBookers. Since I do not like paypal I chose Moneybookers.
They offered to accept Visa and Mastercard so I purchased a 10 Euro Skyout
and a 10 Euro SkypeIn.
When I received my credit card statement I was SHOCKED to see a $10 x 2
charge for Cash Advance Finance Charge. I called Mastercard and was told
that it is often the case that foreign firms use foreign banks to process
the credit card fee and that they consider that a cash advance and charge
that fee in the USA.
I asked how to I tell whether a charge made either over the internet or in
person in Europe will be subjected to the $10 fee and I was told there is
NO way of knowing without asking the company how they process the charge. BAH.
Why did not Skype tell me I was to be RIPPED off!!!.
