    Hi,

    I've been running an adult website for quite some time now and recently switched from BlackLabelAds to AdultAdWorld - simply because they pay... um... twice as much? Anyway, I'm a little frightened whenever I go to their website since it's pretty poorly coded and lacks a lot of necessary information.

    First of all: How the hell do they pay me? I'm above the $50 limit within the next two days, I know they got a net-30 policy (which feels kinda relieving looking back at BLA's net-60 policy...), but I dunno whether they pay by check, paypal or something else...

    ... which leads to the last question: They want me to fill a W8 Tax Form, more precisely, a W-8BEN tax information... thing! Problem is, I don't really get what I would sign there, so I searched on the internet and found out that it's most likely (input needed :)) just a formal certification that... I don't live in the US... something like that.

    So... could you tell me

    - the consequences of signing that form (don't want it to be sent to a German (I live in Germany) bureau of whatever and be sued for not paying taxes (though I think it's pretty legal to have an income of... like 100 bucks a month without paying taxes, read about that somewhere... yeah never mind)

    and...

    - the way they're gonna pay me? I'd soooo want it to be Paypal since I lose like 30 dollars of every check's value due to processing and currency conversion extra fees (not that I already gain pretty little for 1$ when it's converted to 1€...) and whatevaarrrrrrrrr.

    Thank you so much! :)

    Hello, cool down dude, I will reply ;-)

    You can find the form here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8ben.pdf

    Simply fill it up and fax it to your affiliate company with your passport or ID card.

    I already filled up few of them, this is an usual request when you are trading Forex for example. Its less common with an affiliate company.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards
    Thibaut

    Thanks, everything's solved now, by the way. In case anyone finds this thread in the future: By signing that W-8BEN tax thing kind you kind of just confirm that you're not in the US. That form shouldn't bother you overall.
    Next, they pay by check, paypal and epassporte. That's it. :)
