Here's a few extra resources: *PayPal Here* has had a soft launch in Australia, with a card reader coming soon. Basically it is an app for accepting credit cards on your smart device. I've joined this - the PayPal staff are very proactive and keen to get you up and running. https://www.paypal.com/au/webapps/mpp/sell-in-person
*USA2Me* - not fancy, but the most affordable way to get a US address and (optionally) have your mail forwarded. I've used them for a few years. http://www.usa2me.com/ *eTrade USA*. I forget the complete process, but it's another way of getting a US bank account. The trick is to get a free brokerage account for buying shares. It comes with a bank account and a debit card. No fees at all, even your ATM fees are refunded. But you might have to make some share trades or deposit some cash. *OzForex.* If I am receiving payment from overseas and it is more than say $2000, it is well worth the extra steps to get more $$. You can save 3-6% or more on fees and exchange rates compared to PayPal or a bank. The two hassles are "booking" to receive the payment, and that the sender has to note your account number in the transaction description (I guess some folk could screw that up). I've used them once, and it worked well. Macquarie Bank are an investor. http://www.ozforex.com.au/ -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
