A quick question please

What's the best way to accept payment from an american business? Is cheque acceptable?
 
payment

Hi Lee,
dont they have 'checks'? :-D
not sure if our banks would charge for one of theirs. I'd say best way is bankwire, online transfer if same bank (istant) or paypal. You can't beat paypal, i know there's charges, but payment instant, invoices instant & they don't even have to have a paypal account.Just a card. I swear by it.
Nice little sale to a septic tank then? :mrgreen:
Cheers, Pred

Little yes, but I figured ten quick sales for £100 is better than trying to flog all my domains on here for £10. I took a risk and one paid off, well... got lucky. I could've asked for more but I need money. Just a shame cornerflag didn't pay off as well. Can't win them all though.

What's the charges on paypal? requesting and pushing out to card again?
 
Found it, nothing to move and 3.4% incoming. I may do that. I should have asked for more, nevermind, I'll get there.
 
Don't get a cheque. A UK Bank will need about 6 weeks to clear it. In that 6 weeks, they will put the money in your account, but it can still bounce. There is also a processing charge, and then obviously the exchange rate.
 
Wire transfer. I do it all the time from US to China and US to Mexico.

I would have the money before transferring the domain.

If you go via Paypal and transfer after then you are taking a HUGE risk. The person could dafulat and PP will take it from your account.
Way too many horror stories!

There are a lot of escrow services as well.

Hi,
If someone sends you money via paypal & it goes in. If you then transfer to your bank account & say it takes 4 days & then transfer across. Can pp still take it out of your pp account/card, or is it too late if you have transferred out? Never had it happen but has woken me to the thought that it could, like you say.
Cheers, Predator
