Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,
In principle, it is permissible to make use of conventional banks and money bookers for transactions that are Sharī῾ah Compliant.
As an online freelancer, you may use the facilities of moneybookers to receive payments due to you.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
