Paypal question

[Badaboom]

Hi. I´m a Spanish illustrator and I´ve never used Paypal payment procedure, just normal bank transfer, is it any good? Does it work? I need some advice with this, as I´m getting a commision from USA and we´re still discussing how to make the possible payment. Please, write your answer here or send me a PM or e-mail, I´ll have to give an answer soon. Thanks in advance guys!

It does work and is a seamless transistion, however...as the person recieving the money, you will be the one to pay a percentage fee on the amount being transferred, as well as exchange rate fees. Take a look and see if it is comparable to a bank transfer. If not, you might contemplate charging the buyer a fee of your own to cover the cost of using paypal.

i agree with mirana.

hmm, this is something that i'm curious about as well, but find out what happens if the client pays with a credit card, and then the credit card 'bounces'.
