Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

hmmm !! Here comes a very interesting and most wanted post!  We see that the lot of online jobs or freelancing work is being outsourced to the developing countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. But they get disheartened when they come to know that their client can only pay through PayPal. Now what these freelancers do? They beg paypal accounts from people and when they get failed, they have no other option except for refusing the project.

But now!! We have a solution! Here it come. . . .

2Checkout is internationally trusted and reputed company. They allow you to accept PayPal or CreditCard payments. This will allow customers to pay for products and services with the funds in their PayPal account, even if the supplier does not have their own PayPal account and only uses 2Checkout.

The PayPal payment option will be available for all non-recurring orders in the following currencies:

  • Australian Dollar (AUD)
  • Canadian Dollar (CAD)
  • Euro (EUR)
  • British Pound (GBP)
  • Japanese Yen (JPY)
  • U.S. Dollar (USD)

2CO’s one time setup fees is $49

I have seen people wondering around and searching someone who has a credit card. I remember when I registered my first domain name, I was 15 years of age that time. It was a tiring experience.. after some research work, I rushed to my dad and asked for his credit card. He is kind of tech superstitious he doesn’t trust using credit cards online, since he had heard many credit cards fraud cases. So that time I managed my Uncle’s credit card to pay off for the domain.

But now.. the scenario is changing. Great financial tools have been introduced, now you don’t have to beg for a credit card because you can have your own. Yes! it is for Pakistanis also ;)
