I know that there is already enough issues on withdrawal with upwork via payoneer. But I still do not understand exactly how much is the Commission, because all are called different numbers.
My situation: on opforce accumulated about $4k, never deduced (waiting when you have time to properly understand the issue of withdrawal). After gugleniya came to the conclusion that it is necessary to withdraw money through payoneer and then withdraw dollars in the ATM of alpha Bank. It is also said that a lot of money on the account apwork to keep unsafe because when you claim from the client all the money can be frozen and returned to the client.
Why not skrill: he had a Commission less, but saying that he's unreliable, and there is not a small sum. And withdraw dollars in cash then a problem, if using an ATM, have skrill at a time can bring about $270 with the Commission 1.75% ("The limit for cash withdrawals at the ATM is 250 EUR/24h."). If the output of the interbank foreign exchange translation, it is possible to receive a call from the Bank and the related tax issues. Well, someone says that the account is banned, and someone that is no problem:

Why not PayPal: it's all clear, you can't withdraw money in USD, you can either buy in foreign online stores for dollars, either to withdraw in rubles with a horse Commission.
Why not Wire Transfer: you have to pay taxes, with no time or desire to bother.
Now about payoneer. This office did not specify their commissions, about commissions payoneer is responsible, they say, see the Commission in a private office. But what is interesting and what is not obvious from the other questions and answers on this topic:
the Commission payoneer depend on a partner, through which was registered account
Namely, it is believed that the Commission at least different, if the account was registered directly from the site Payoneer.Com and if the account was registered through the link apwork and similar sites:

But that is what the Commission shows the pioneer in the transition from apwork:

In red I highlighted the Commission for crediting money to the pioneer (for free) and the fee for ATM withdrawal ($2.5 per transaction + star, which, they say, equal to 1.8% of the amount of the withdrawal, I found this information on the official forum of the pioneer: "There is a fixed fee for cash withdrawal, regardless of the withdrawal amount, to which is added a percentage of the amount of money received (if money received in local currency, the Commission is up to 3.5%; and if in U.S. dollars, then to 1.8%).").
By the way, if you try to register directly from the website of pioneer, the Commission displays the following:

Now go to upwork and see how many apwork takes for withdrawals to pioneer:

That is just two bucks per transaction, and, according to information from the Internet, for the enrollment in pioneer there are no limits on the amount per transaction no.
Summarizing all the above fees, all of which, except one (1.8%) from recognized official sources, it turns out that the size of the commissions are as follows:
- $2 gets upwork for transfer from apwork on the pioneer and it's all Commission apwork
- free: pioneer takes the money free of charge, according to the first screenshot
- $2.5: when withdrawing money from an ATM, pioneer first takes $2.5 Commission, according to the second screenshot, after this Commission somebody takes one more big Commission
- 1.8%: the fee for "transactions originated in a country outside of the country of issuance", "assessed by" allegedly "MasterCard"
A total of $4.5 + %1.8 that is less than that indicated in other sources. Some people write more about the Commission at %1 for transfer of funds to pioneer.
In General, about the last Commission, there are as many opinions on the Internet as people. Someone said that 3% someone %2.8 who is 2%, someone 1.8%, someone even said that this 0% Commission and pioneer takes only a fixed fee for the withdrawal.
And the worst part is that they can all be right, because the fee depends on what the reference was registered in the account in the pioneer. Here's an example of some piarovskih tariffs for other "partners", and then do nothing about the fact that "*There is a fee for transactions originated in a country outside of the country of issuance OR in a currency different than the card currency above all fees assessed by MasterCard.", but only "*surcharge may also be applied by your ATM/POS service provider":



Well, the question boils down to, what is the link you need to register your account in the pioneer that the fee was minimal (for output let's say $2k per month in Russia)?
to register Payoneer the link is not necessary. Register for the direct entry, pre-clearing all cookies. - Weston98 commented on July 9th 19 at 10:57
And according to my screenshots, the difference between registering for a direct link and a check from your personal account apwork only that direct link I will pay $3.15 per transaction (with annual maintenance $29,95), and the link with apwork $2.50 (with annual maintenance $36). - Jerry.Fisher78 commented on July 9th 19 at 11:00
I would where easier, safer.
but no where for $ 7 a year more or less. - Weston98 commented on July 9th 19 at 11:09
While it may be the best way out is to deduce on the pioneer and half on skrill. - Jerry.Fisher78 commented on July 9th 19 at 11:12
And generally it is strange that in one comment you suggest not to withdraw money from the card: "why remove ATM? directly from the map and buy in the shops you need for life", and a few comments later suggest to withdraw money from the card and hide under the mattress: "100% I wouldn't trust anything but cash".
By the way, to pay krylovskoy card in Russian stores is not the cheapest option: "For transactions involving currency conversion Skrill adds a fee of between 2.99% and 3.99%** to our wholesale exchange rates." - "**We charge an additional 2.99% for transfers between USD, GBP, EUR, CAD or PLN currencies and 3.99% for transfers involving any other currency.", ie to pay 3.99% for everything. - Jerry.Fisher78 commented on July 9th 19 at 11:18
Payoneer - it is not dependent Upwork system.
For the appeal to the Payoneer website from different countries. During the journey. - Weston98 commented on July 9th 19 at 11:21
Nothing strange.
First, you have your own head is.
Secondly, I mean - a big purchase. To quickly spend.
Or even agree with someone say something to him to pay, but he do it for the cash. - Weston98 commented on July 9th 19 at 11:24
