    Hey guys,
    think about setting up google ads on some of my websites, just wondering how you get your payment.
    Does Google charge anything for EFT???
    I really cant be bothered with them if i have to cash a cheque and pay back fees, (i live in the UK!)

    Paypal is the easiest in this case without doubt. My Uk larger clients pay by checque/standing order. but my independent advertisers on portal sites etc pay either s/o or paypal.

    Thanks :)
    I meant how do you get Google to pay you at the end of the month. They dont transfer money to PayPal accounts, I've only seen the 2 methods, cheque or eft???

    What bank are you with Huntz??? Im with Natwest at the moment??? They wont try and charge me to receive money via EFT will they???
    Why would someone in the UK want to be paid be cheque from Google when EFT seems far simpler, less hassle, and with no charges incured???

    Ask your bank, they will tell you in 2 seconds (I would be amazed if they charged anything) - Just make sure you recieve your payments in £

    Not everyone would have a bank account (or at least one in their name) so maybe thats why they choose cheque

    EFT works great, is free, and is very fast for getting your payment. Google does test out the EFT with a very small amount of money that you have to verify to get it all setup. It's definetly the way to go if you can set it up.

    hsbc don't charge anything for cashing cheques, and i dont see why any other banks would providing you're getting your cheque in gbp and not usd. however, i'm too lazy to cash cheques every month so i recently changed to eft payments.

    Your talking about personal accounts I presume. Most banks do charge for business accounts hell they even charge you for paying in CASH into your account. I bank with BOS though and do not pay any charges, in fact they pay me interest :D
