Moneybookers has been around for a while, maybe not as long as Paypal. There is a big difference between them as far as being a seller. Paypal does not protect sellers of digital goods (anything that doesn't leave a paper mail trail, like game cents) very well against chargeback fraud, which is rampant with Paypal for online stuff and a huge risk to game companies. Moneybookers protects sellers better, therefore they lose less money to chargeback fraud. The problem, for the company at least, is that
1. Moneybookers has far less name recognition than Paypal, meaning a lot less business.
2. Moneybookers is harder to sign up for and use than Paypal.
3. Moneybookers charges the buyer a fee to send money, as opposed to Paypal, which charges the seller when they receive the money instead. That's probably why they have the 6% in there in the first place, to cover the cost of the additional fee (though the fee is like 1% or less so its still extra).
As far as I see though the paypal option is still there for buying coins though.
