New Payoneer restrictions/fees

Hello Community,

I think this information will be interested for providers who are using Payoneer cards(at least in Ukraine, not sure for other country's).

Effective from September 01/08 Payoneer reduce daily card limit to $1000(it was $2500 before) and now they charge additional 1% if you cache money in USD outside of US.

Frustrating thing that they didn't find necessary to inform about this changes with email and it was necessary to open two support cases to receive this information.

Regards,
Alexander

Not a serious issue, since

Not a serious issue, since it's not very realistic to earn $1000 at oDesk very single day Smiling

What if you have a company?

If you run a company here, it certainly is realistic to pull over $1000 per day.  For an individual, unlikely.  For a team of a dozen, or so, highly likely.

For a large team and huge

For a large team and huge amounts you can use wire transfers Smiling

Individuals get paid once a week.

Not that this is a huge deal, but a pay-period is weekly, not daily.  I don't know about you, but if I do a little overtime, I will peak over $1000 for a single week pretty easily.

Unfortunately, im not that

Unfortunately, im not that lucky as you are, earning more than $1000 per week. But i have a bank account to use, so using payoner only as option when i need to pay for somethings relatively cheap with mastercard Smiling

I'm lucky to use direct deposit

I'm fortunate enough to live in the U.S., and can receive funds through direct-deposit, so these limits don't actually affect me.  I responded to this thread because I understand the potential frustration, and Odesk is an international community.
