Hi I am a freelance web designer. I want to know how can I receive my payments from my clients sitting in another country without using Paypal? Basically I charge 50% payment in advance, rest of the payment on completion of job. I need a payment system in which the buyer has protection and surety that his money will not be stolen away, he feel confident while paying me, same on my side, that my client will surely pay me of he is asking for some draft design job, how can we make it sure and easy for each other? Please give me option without using Paypal as that is not available in my country. And mode of payment has to be low transaction cost to attract to buyer to pay. Regards
Have you looked into using some form of escrow system, such as escrow.com ? The fees might be a little higher than you're looking for, but you might want to check them out.
