The interesting point here is that both SE and Skrill gave every indication that
SE was a U.K. Limited company but this was not the case. SE was actually

Kong address as: 1501-1508, Millennium City 5, 418 Kwun Tong Road,
Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

purchase through the Site shall be submitted to confidential binding
arbitration in Hong Kong conducted under Hong Kong law...
Arbitration shall be conducted under UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules by Hong
Kong International Arbitration Centre."
