I Need Helpful Advice

22 replies
Hello everyone,

I live outside of USA and I promote Amazon.com products, and I just got my first check of $140 and my excitement quickly faded away as it came when I went to the bank to cash the check. I was told that the check will be sent bank to the USA so as to cash the check and the whole process will take about 4 - 5 weeks and I will have to pay the charges which is very high.

Two major issues:

1. The time it will take for my bank to cash the check
2. The charges for the whole process

By the time the check is cashed, there will just be almost nothing left for me.

Please, any suggestions on what I should do.

Thanks

    You should make a higher limit for that check, make it 1000 $. I know for people outside us there are a lot of fees. Of course depends from country to country.

    1. Allow your earnings to accumulate before requesting for it.

    2. Work on improving your sales drastically and you won't have problem having a huge chunk of your cash every month even after charges.

    3. Amazon do a pay direct to U.S and I think other few countries, if you have a trusted person who also trust you then there could be an understanding to help you out every month.

    You can also try to find a "check cashing service" if they have that available in your country. Some places "buy" the check from you for a lower amount, and then they will deposit it for themselves. That might be possible for them because they might be able to save the fees if they have a proper system in place.

    I suggest you use the Payoneer card, for cardholders they also offer the US payment service that allow you to receive direct deposist from some US companies, like Amazon, Paypal etc

    The direct deposit is then loaded to your card

    Get yourself an account at a bank that does business worldwide, that has branches in your country and in the US. That might eliminate your problem. Of course, you should check it out first but I have heard that others solved similar problems this way.

      Not easy, I know of HSBC was offering this, but not everyone can meet the requirements

    It is a problem, but why not promote amazon.co.uk; .fr; .de etc ?
    There are more people in the EC than in the US.

      It would only half help as you would have to pay US taxes, but opening an a/c in a foreign country in next to impossible.
