You've felt this
frustration before.
The Waiting Game
- Invoice sent: Day 1
- Payment "processed": Day 5
- Actually in your account: Day 8
- You need to eat: Every day
The PayPal Problem
- "Sorry, we don't support your country."
- Or worse: "Your account has been limited."
- Your money held hostage for 180 days.
The Fee Robbery
- Client pays: $1,000
- PayPal takes: $50
- Bank conversion: $45
- Wire transfer fee: $25
- You actually get: $880
The Currency Trap
- Earned in dollars. Paid in dollars.
- But stuck converting at terrible bank rates.
- Value lost every single time.
Your actual rate just dropped 12%. And you're still waiting.
