petal · Post by **petal** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 7:15 am

As some of you may hve noticed I'm trying to sell a couple of pluginpacks. Any recomodations on how to transfer money and plugins between two people so that both parties feel secure about getting what is agreed upon?

Cheers!
Thomas

paypal? both would need a credit card.
free for the payer, who receive has to pay a fee

then, if you want to tranfser less than 100$ from paypal to your bank account you have to pay another fee.

Thanks Bosone!

Any other good services?

There's also the issue about making the switch. People who has done this before, how did you do it. Was it a matter of trust, first the money the ok was given to transfer the keys to a new account? How did you do it and what would you recommend?

Cheers!

I am having my bank take care of that. I haven't checked it, but I believe it will even be possible to make them draw it back, if something goes wrong?

Anyway my bank is processing money to Germany for me right now ... another card to the set-up. I pay in advance, but who wouldn't trust Ralf

Bank rates for transfering money to an overseas bank are astronomical. Paypal is the best for me.

Western Union??

Expensive but safe. International postal order is worth a look. Other party can just bank it and fees are minimal.

Thanks a lot for all the inout guys - I really appreciate it!

How do you do with the switch? Is it money first, product after? Or do you agree upon a signed contract of some sort?

Cheers!

I've just made a payment from Italy to Germany. I've transferred the money to an international account of the person who have sold the plugins. I've payed 6 euro for the service, but this cost is very variable from bank to bank and from country to country. (another bank has asked 20 euro for the same service...)

I've also tryed western union in another purchase and I agree: it's expensive. Anyway it's very confortable and secure, expecially if you have to send money to another continent.

Internet banking between European private persons is free:-)
You just need the bank's BIC and the other person's IBAN number, which in fact is his accountnumber plus some country identifying code letters.
I used it several times, just from within my lousy chair

Ok, cool and thanks!

Ok - I think I have the moneytrasfere covered now, but not many notice that I also ask about the switch of plugins - Could someone please tell me how they have done this successfully, without one of the parties being afraid of being robbed?

Cheers!

There's always a risk...
Don't use web based email adresses, exchange non mobile phone number and call the other, you could check the given adress, you have his bank account, being member of planetz is a pre, etc.
Also ask him to ask Ralf to sent his plugin change request thrue to you.
If your/his keys are changed there's not much of use for him/you.
cheers.
