This webinar addresses using payment methods to your advantage to keep the most amount of money in your pocket, rather than losing it to fees or exchange rates. We will cover the pros and cons of payment by check, direct deposit, wire transfer, credit card, prepaid bank card, PayPal/Moneybookers, as well as companies like Travelex and AMEX that facilitate currency exchange for those of us with international clients or vendors, as well as other related payment issues.
