The max you can withdraw to your card is 1K a day. $2 gets deducted, so you have $998 on the card. Neteller charges another $1.50 per transaction at the ATM and you also have to pay the ATM its fee, usually another $1.50. So if you can only withdraw $500 per transaction at the ATM, you pay about $8 per $1000.
just applied for the card without filling in any forms:
Your NETELLER Card application has been received successfully.
Please allow up to 3 weeks for processing and shipping.
Your NETELLER Card will be mailed to the address specified in your account.
card will be here in 3 weeks so should i go ahead and cancel the pending eft now, or wait to see if the eft goes through by the time the card even gets here?

Neteller's investment group finally answered an email from me from a week or two ago.

Basically, it sounds as if their US EFT processors won't do business with them anymore.

He means his neteller card is pending approval. Mine has been pending approval for 3 days now. I emailed neteller asking them what the deal was and they said they are experiencing a high volume of card requests and that my application will be approved as soon as possible. but I have seen people on this and other forums state that they were instantly approved and received a confirmation email of approval immediately after application - and these people applied after the time that I applied. I have emailed neteller again calling them out on this to see what the deal is.

Have you ever bounced either an EFT or Instacash to them? Someone I know couldn't cover the instacash and it resulted in an NSF. Afterwards, you have to recertify the Neteller account by depositing the bounced amount and then making another successful deposit after that. He never did that, so his Neteller account isn't certified properly. He was told his account is not eligible for a Neteller card. Sucks for him because he can't even make a deposit into Neteller at this point to try and recertify his account.
The big picture is still confusing, but here's my story.
I had 2 EFTs pending, one from 1/16 and one on 1/17. I just called the VIP line and the CSR said that she could cancel the one from the 17th, but would have to e-mail their IT department to cancel the one on the 16th. I told her to go ahead and cancel just the one from the 17th. 30 seconds later its status had changed from 'Pending' to 'Declined' and the money was back in my account. The whole thing took 5 minutes.
Good luck guys.

The Neteller ATM card is the way to go............I had 8500 there and have with drawn 1k per day for the last 5 days....after the fees you end up with 998, big deal...I glady would accept paying $10-20 for each transaction to get 980 to 1000 until i have the majority of the 8500 in my pocket...........3500 more to go...............Cris is sending bank wires, just have to wait 7-10 days but you have to WD 10K or more....no longer any problems from this camp
Thanks Wilhiem !!

seems like everyone is a VIP at Neteller, i guess it doesn't buy much these days. maybe i could trade in some of my points to speak to someone in customer service who could give a straight answer.
the thing that pisses me off is that neteller should have something on their website explaining the delay, or at least send clients an email letting us know what our options are (cards vs. efts). i'm sure non-americans are still fine and dandy with the service, but in my opinion such conduct is reprehensible and does not bode well for the future of the company.
