Go to www.paypal.com, open an account. Send your paypal account email with your invoice.

After you got your money in your paypal account you have to transfer it to your bank if you wish to spend it in Argentina.

It is easy.

It is on the very top "sign up"

Thereafter it is ready for use.

Hope that I did not forget anything - it is a long time ago since I openend my account.

If you need further advice... Feb 18, 2009

just let me know, I will try to help.

One more thing: you may add several currencies to your account.
This has the following advantage:
Should you only have a USD account and somebody pays in GBP or EUR, the money will not be credited immediately. You will have to use to accept/decline button. This can be avoided, if you ad the most important currencies which you expect to receive.
