A bit of both Feb 11, 2005

I use Paypal or Ikobo for international transfers and my bank for European payments. The bank option is convinient only with amounts of 600 Euros or above. I have found Ikobo (www.ikobo.com) better than Paypal in some occasions.
Good luck

it depends what country the payment is coming from Feb 11, 2005

within the EU it's generally easy enough for the client to pay directly into your Spanish bank account (you will need to know the BIC and IBAN numbers of your account). From other countries I've heard (haven't used them yet) paypal & moneybrokers are good.

both of them Feb 11, 2005

Hi, as someone else has already said, it depends on the country from which you receive the payment. If it comes from a country within the European Union, you can simply request a payment via wire transfer, directly to your bank account, since no fees are required for transfers within the EU. If the payments comes from outside the EU, then choose a system like PayPal, so you can avoid paying enormous fees for bank transfers.

Good luck

Cecilia
