I work for a veterinarian from Candada. We are looking for a convenient method for him to pay me, and I already have a paypal account. The problem is that he is concerned that if he pays me through paypal he will incur a cash advance fee on his Visa card. He is considering payoneer instead, but I'd like to stick to paypal if possible. Does anyone know if this is true? I know I will incur international fees, etc. and that he can assign the fees to me which is fine, but I need to make sure that if he pays me through his Visa for services that he will not receive a cash advance fee. Any help would be great 🙂
I don't think he'll be charged for them, but it would be best for him to phone the VISA Customer service center and check ( the number is on the back of the card).
Since you're going to have fairly large amounts of cash in your Paypal account if he does this, it might be a good idea for you to get a Paypal Security key - it makes your account hijacker-proof.
It's $5, available from the Security Center, if you're interested.
Thank you for the tip. I will have him call his card first. That's a great idea. Also, hijacker proof? I will check into this today. Never hurts to have more security.
