Payments Question

Looking for some advice on payments

[metg123]

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. I am looking to buy a SEO service for $500 from someone who lives in Romania. I wanted to pay via PayPal for this service. However, PayPal doesnt accept Romanian citizens. This person has suggested that I deposit the funds to their bank accounts, but I dont feel happy doing this. I was wondering if anyone knows of a similar service to PayPal that allows Romanian citizens to signup, and also accepts funds from PayPal.

Many Thanks,
Tom

can I ask why not? Get them to send you an invoice then wire transfer the money. It's pretty easy to do and quite secure.

Assuming the guy has a business account (he oughta if you're buying SEO services of him); all he needs to do is ask his bank for his SWIFT BIC and IBAN numbers (the global equivalent of a sort code and account number).

You then call your bank with the numbers, the amount to wire, and his invoice reference (or whatever reference he asks you to give) and jobs a good'n.
