Why don't most freelancers accept WebMoney?

Question

Freelance

I placed a couple of orders on fl.ru and was surprised to find that almost everyone does not accept WebMoney. With what it can be connected? Is there any problem with this? It didn't seem to be a problem before (a couple of years ago).

Answer 1

1. Disgusting support.
2. A complex system (keepers, certificates, exchanges, keys, etc.).
3. Commissions. Despite the fact that many banks already allow you to withdraw money without interest and transfer them between banks.
4. Difficulties in withdrawing money.

Answer 2

With the development of online payments by bank cards, WM wallets have become irrelevant. Almost no one uses it anymore, and they won’t start it just for you.

Answer 3

Web money overslept the market, first Yandex money then transfers from card to card

Answer 4

What to do with them next? Withdraw through money transfers, and before that replenish your mobile? Whole story. And the paranoia with authorization is a little annoying.
POISON plastic costs 199 rubles. for 3 years of service including the cost of postage to the post office. You can cash out at any ATM at the rate of 15 rubles + 3%. Conveniently?

Answer 5

Webmoney is an outdated trash. When you signed up, what were you thinking? About how it would be more difficult and more painful for your freelancers? Simple transfers to a card or Yandex.Money are all you need, what is this poor service from the 2000s for? It’s time for them to go to the dustbin of history, especially after massive withdrawal problems in 2016.

Answer 6

Previously, it was possible to "withdraw" to your card, now only their exchange , where you can leave an application for the exchange of wm for a bank (commission 2%).

Answer 7

Very muddy and complex system.
Annoying is the abundance of all sorts of keepers, mini keepers and other crap, which nafig is not needed.

Answer 8

Belarus. There is a problem with the withdrawal. Commission + tax.
Previously, it was possible to order on Chinese sites for acquaintances, now only 20 USD / month without tax. Not interested ;)

Answer 9

WebMoney is complicated and sometimes illogical. But there are no special problems with the withdrawal, even for a card, even for bitcoins, there are special exchangers.

Answer 10

I still haven't got my degree there. Everything is somehow muddy there ... Yandex is even easier, and the Qiwi wallet is registered in 2 minutes.

Answer 11

Get an epaments card and throw webmoney there, and then just withdraw from an ATM.

Answer 12

In 2016, VMs did have some problems with withdrawing VMRs to linked cards - they were checked at the end of spring by the Central Bank and ordered them to switch to some other scheme of interaction with banks. While they switched to this scheme, and it was not very convenient to withdraw, Russian freelancers were indeed not very willing to accept VMR. Now that VMs have opened up more of the old services for display on the map, the situation is back on track. In any case, I regularly pay with webmoney on the same freelance.ru, no one grumbles. And near-foreign freelancers (especially Ukrainian ones), who do not use BMP, and whom that story did not touch at all, still prefer webmoney to any other payment methods.
