The truth is that I has a Skrill account for many years, and used it occasionaly mainly during my travels, as a security measure, just not to use my regular cards. However I didn't use my account much, after I got Revolut which is much more convenient and I had never activated the new card Skrill had sent me.
Everything was great until one day I've noticed that my account had negative balance. I asked them how can this be possible as 1) My card had not been activated by me 2) Since I had no money in it, whoever made the charge should be declared and not have negative balance. They reply that the charge was from something I bought A COUPLE of YEARS ago, and the merchant decided to claim the money now. Needless to say that this was totally unacceptable as I was unable to remeber whether or not I had made this transaction after two whole years, plus that even so, a mercant cannot just claim money whenever he/she wants, they have about 10 days I think to do that, and surely enough not two years!
So to summarize Skrill was asking me money for a transaction I had possibly, two years ago, the inactive card (it should not have worked just because it had never been activated) had negative balance (a card that it is supposed to be debit one and not a credit card, the balance should have never been negative) and they wanted me to pay the money!
Well needless to say that I just closed my account!
