Sia withdrawals

supermilk3033 · Dec 10, 2009

I'm having a nightmare of a time trying to withdraw funds from this shitty site. I requested a wire and it did not go through- they placed the funds back into my acct minus $52 for "fees incurred". Virt Wallet (whatever that is) is unavailable. A Check by courier costs me $40- is that my only option? Anyone have any advice for me or any experience with these clowns? Thanks in advance.

yeah, bank wires cost. sia only charges 2%, but an international wire cost me 50 bucks at my bank. i've never had a problem getting my money from them though, although their fees are a bit high. the only option i haven't tried is check by regular mail -- usually i just pay extra to get my money in my hands. on the bank wires, i normally cash out on saturday unless i get pissed off and feel like getting stupid, then i run. bank wires never take more than a few days though.

sia's been great for me on cashout dependability though. if you talk to them, let them know you're a member of the RX. on a couple of occasions and i've been talking to them about something, i let them know and it seems to help the process.

I tried a bank wire and it did not go through- first they charged me 2%, then the wire did not go through so they charged me an extra $52- do you think I have a chance on getting my $52 back?

yeah, talk to them -- respectfully of course. let them know that you're a member of the RX -- but not in a way that makes it sound like you're being threatening or what not. if the 50 bucks was charged by the bank you tried to wire it to you'll probably be out of luck, but if your bank charged that then i don't know why they didn't accept the wire.

if you feel like you have a strong case and it doesn't get resolved, contact wil. i've heard he's been known to get things done. personally, sia has been good to me going on 5 years now.
