Bank security?

Did anyone actually bother to read the link?

Please Sir, I read both links. I think I'll give it a miss.

The OP said she was asked for her login name & password. Skrill says it doesn't do that, so I suspect a rat.

So you did not read the link.

How does Skrill Direct work?
It takes only a few clicks to successfully pay for an order using Skrill Direct. Upon reaching the merchant’s checkout page, choose Skrill Direct as a payment method and select your bank from the list of supported banks.

Currently you can pay with Skrill Direct if you are a customer of most banks in Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, France, Austria and Hungary.

After you enter your account details, you’ll be asked to login to your online banking using the credentials provided by your bank and, if necessary, confirm the transfer according to your bank’s requirements. Once the bank transfer via Skrill Direct is successful, the online merchant gets an instant notification and can ship the goods immediately.

That is not Skrill asking for the OP online banking login details.

Its just saying you will have to login in to your online banking to check it.

Unless the poster got confused.

Yes, I read the links (and the Wikipedia entry for Skrill)

Skrill seems to be legitimate, but while the text says the user will be asked to log on to their bank using the usual credentials, it's easy to understand how a new Skrill user might believe they were giving their banking credentials to Skrill, and back out of the transaction as the OP did.
