Default Overseas Billing
I have potential work for a relative in Australia. I am based in the UK and have worked with him before in the UK. I just wonder what would be the simplest way to bill, process and receive payment. Feedback most welcome.

Hi Ann, I'm in the US and have a client in NZ; I use Freshbooks to invoice my clients and she receives either pays with an e-check or uses Paypal. Same with clients I have in Canada. I highly recommend Freshbooks. Hope it helps :-)

Congratulations on your potential new client. I found this link: http://www.linkedin.com/answers/fina...679418-6455952 It lists a few alternatives including PayPal & Western Union.

@Susan many thanks I will check Freshbooks. I notice there is a link featured.
@Stacy thank you for Linkedin Link. Lots of information. I think Western Union maybe the simplest way to begin with as my relative has used this many times before to transfer overseas.

Thank you both again.

Send the money via Tranzfers http://www.tranzfers.com/ as their fees are really low. I've been using them since 2005.
