Payment can get tricky because of different currency so we used PayPal and it worked great. Other than that, it should not make any difference where the client is. __________________ Pam www.adminetcetera.com

The only tip I would give it use Paypal or something similar to accept payment, because like Pam mentioned currency can get tricky. Actually, my bank would charge a fee for depositing business checks outside of the US..so Paypal works out great for me. Otherwise, as with working with any client not local to you..just keep in mind what time zone they are in! Good Luck! __________________ Darlene Victoria Gonzalez The Voice & Vision Behind Your Business

Paypal has always been good for handling payments in various currencies and I can withdraw the funds straight into my own bank account.
