Thomas of A Clayton's Secretary Kathie, I have kind of a random question for you regarding how you handle billing for your U.S. or Canada-based clients. I'm wondering how you manage the exchange rate - or how that works. I've always billed in U.S. dollars but wasn't sure how that would pan out for someone who is operating on another currency to begin with. Thanks for explaining this silly detail for me I just got to wondering about this today.... __________________ Virtual Assistantville SEO-supercharged VA directory

Thanks for explaining this silly detail for me I just got to wondering about this today.... Thanks for asking - great question! I always bill in my own currency, AUD. I accept payments by credit card or Paypal - both will do the currency conversions so I never have to worry about doing it. And when the client receives the receipted payment their end, the credit card statement or Paypal history shows the exchange. __________________ Kathie M.

Thomas of A Clayton's Secretary Well, that makes sense! Thanks Kathie. I've been considering accepting credit cards...I mean, I already do via Paypal of course, but I mean directly. Is it direct CC transactions you process or is it via a payment gateway like Paypal? __________________ Virtual Assistantville SEO-supercharged VA directory

I've been considering accepting credit cards...I mean, I already do via Paypal of course, but I mean directly. Is it direct CC transactions you process or is it via a payment gateway like Paypal? Both. I have an EFTPOS machine in my office so some people might fax me their payment or fill out a secure server form so I can log in and then process it on my machine. Others prefer to use Paypal as their credit card is already listed there and they don't have to give me the number. __________________ Kathie M. Thomas, VA Coach A Clayton's Secretary, VA Blog
