Editorial review
Country-specific pricing
Skrill publishes separate fee pages by country, so a fee from one market should not automatically be applied to another.
Withdrawals and FX
Several European fee schedules list bank withdrawal at 1.75% with a 3.50 EUR minimum and FX at 3.99%.
Verification
Identity verification typically includes ID and selfie, and additional source-of-funds or usage information may be requested.
Editorial view
Skrill can be convenient for some international payment scenarios, but users should calculate local FX and withdrawal costs carefully.
