Besides if you're really needing paypal as an option, you're not pushing thru enough volume for them to really consider paypal as an option, and they couldn't really pay you via paypal if you were actually pushing that kind of volume.
i was just wondering what the advantage to being paid by paypal was? don't they charge you money to get your hands on the cash so to speak?
To answer both your questions this is why I love getting paid via PayPal so much, usually networks are on a net 15 or most are on a net 30 payout structure which for me means the following.
I make some income between March 15th and April 15th, the network sends the checks on May 15th, the checks take another month to reach me so I get them on June 15th.
Now if its an international check the banks sometimes like to hold that money for another 30 days, which means the money I make between March 15th and April 15th don't get into my hands until June 15th or sometimes as long as July 15th.
That's a 3 month wait to get paid.
Now if I get paid via PayPal this is what happens....
The money made from March 15th to April 15th get put into my PayPal account between May 15th and May 18th, it takes 3 days to go from my PayPal account to my bank account.
Other option is getting paid direct deposit which I find a lot of companies WONT do if your outside there country of business, instead they want to do a wire transfer.
Whats the issue with wire transfers?
Not much they are just as quick as PayPal except for the fact that I have to go around giving out all my financial information to everyone and not to mention its a real bitch to get the right routing numbers from my bank.
Hence the reason why I usually only deal with networks which offer an option to be paid via PayPal.
P.S. Another reason why I hate getting checks besides the wait is that I've had several checks NEVER make it to me, I've had to contact the affiliate companies, get them to cancel the check, re-issue another one, wait for that one to get to me and then wonder if this was the check which was canceled, I have to go to there bank have them verify this is the check which is not canceled then finally deposit into my account.
So mix that in and you can tack on another month wait to get paid.
Also I find people don't really understand how PayPal works, lots think if you push large volumes paypal will boot your ass - NOT TRUE.
The fact of the matter is that if you have a new paypal account or have an account with some age but don't do much with it then yes doing large volume will probably get your account banned.
Pretty shitty for most right?
Well if you have an account which has a long standing reputation of doing numbers and a large business reputation (Another words you get 1 point after every payment if there are no returns or arguments after 6 months) then you won't have an issue.
I've personally never had an issue with being paid PayPal......but yes I've had my account in good standing for......well I think over 5 years now.....not exactly sure when I signed up it was a very long time ago.
