I have a customer from Australia and she wants to know what her options are other than paypal.....
is there a quick way to send her payment another way???

My customers usually use Paypal.................. so any ideas I could tell her would be appreciated. bear_original

I Personally would stick to Pay Pal as it is the easiest and most convenient....I have allowed money orders before, but such a pain with the mail to Canada so slow and the person emailing daily to see if it arrived....and then of course they have to wait for the bear to ship after it clears as well...I don't think I personally will offer anything other than Pay Pal in the future...they can pay with Credit Card through there without actually having to have a Pay Pal account as far as I know, unless that has changed...sorry not much help Tami...but figured I would let you know from my experiences.

Hugs,
Krista

I did a western Union or something once from the post office, I was scared stiff as I had never heard of it before. I was soooo easy bear_original

Yeah, I'd stick with PayPal also. It's the easiest, fees are lower than Western Union or the bank when they convert her check to US funds and charge you and arm and a leg. It's also the SAFEST for both you and your customer. I've read many places NOT to use Western Union to send money. Anyone could be picking it up, not necessarily the person it was intended for. There have been lots of stories anyway.......

With Paypal she doesn't have to be a member..... can use a credit card or check/bank account.... it's so simple and did I mention SAFE? bear_original

I would recommend Paypal as well, although there used to be something called bidpay......I'm not sure if it is still around but you didn't have to have an account to use it....
