How to get paid?
 

I'm starting (or hoping to start) a graphics/site design business, and pretty much everything has been set up except the payment-getting process.
I need an online service which will be able to collect payments from my clients, take a %, and send me the check. I live in a country without credit cards, and I cannot use paypal or propay.
clickbank.net is something I found and I could use it, but they have a set-up fee which I cannot pay (no way how to do it).
Is there something free and reliable, with below 15% commissions?
Thanks.

Paypal. Paypal and then Paypal some more. cant be beat

Unfortunately Yugoslavia is not on the approved countries list so I cannot use paypal.

If your designs and prices are that good ... people will take the extra effort to send you a money wire ... or Western Union.

We accept more than 50% of all our payments that way ... we have Paypal also ... but for some reason, most customers are more comfortable with money wires or Western Union.

OK, wire transfers will be available in a few months (we have just exported Slobodan Milosevic, our evil FORMER president to court), and banks are now connecting to the world. That's the same reason for no credit cards. Western Union has a monthly limit of $900 for my region set, and a few other downsides when used here.
Oh, I am confident about the quality, and the prices would be lower than any web design company I found so far. Another problem is that I don't have a portfolio. So let me say - The first GFY'er tho gives me an offer will not be charged if he's dissatisfied. If you like my work, small charges apply http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif
And this offer is valid only for GFY members who have been active for a long time, not those with less posts than I have http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

For those who live outside PayPal, Western Union works just as well. I've been paid for my work that way.

Paypal is suck, there would be no way in hell I'd touch that company with a 50 foot stick.

I used to use it a LOT when trading hardware across the internet, and I've had more problems than I can even remember. Couple that with their unwilling to help PoS customer service dept. "Oh, that charge we accidently made on your credit card will go away after 14 days because it was only an auth, and will time out... No, we will not credit you in the meantime even though it was our fault".

Bah, I hate paypal with a passion. They will soon go the way of the other processors like them.

Hey brother ... as one web designer to another ...

If you are serious about this business, then you will take the rest of this week and the weekend to design a few samples of your work ... (even if the domains are ficticious)

A portfolio is a NECCESITY in this business !
Include 3-4 good paysite tours, maybe 20 banners, and a couple full page and half page ads ...

It might take a week of your time ... but will increase your credibility at least 10 fold ... ICQ me at 122638232, and I will give you the URL of our site to give you an idea ... we do very well in the design business.(As a matter of fact, we want to spend LESS time doing designs, so we can focus on our content biz ... maybe we could give you a couple leads to start you out as well ... )

But you NEED to put together a good portfolio, there is no way around it ...
NOBODY will buy without seeing what you can do .... TRUST ME !!!
