Photography Question 

Danea Burleson
 

Best form of payment from Europe?


Some of you may have been following this already but here's where I am at now.

The German magazine wants to send payment but the editor says that paypal wouldn't let her unless they have an account-to which she was looking into opening but wasn't sure if it was possible. So instead she has mentioned sending it via bank transfer to which she would need a bill and bank info.

She needs the original file by next week and I am assuming (and have stated this to her) that she gets the file AFTER payment is made. I have seen the pdf file of the magazine page and how my photo is being used. Is a bank transfer safe? Is there any other fast way of making payment. Is there usually a norm for this sort of thing? I still think this is a legit deal but a bank transfer makes me nervous, then again I know nothing about them. Help...haha!

  I just called my bank and they said that wire transfers are perfectly safe and secure. Yay!

Yep, Euro is good.
But get it in USD because you'd lose more in currency exchange.
..., you get a lot less than 100EUR for 150USD. Bum deals for tourists and businesses.
