Here raises another question " how to attract clients for a novice here, even though I have got some experience in native land"?

Hello Gloucesterqi and welcome,
Unfortunately Paypal.com and Paypal.com.cn aren't linked yet so if you have an account with Paypal China you can't use it with the Paypal that the rest of the world uses! Sucks I know.
I'm not sure about the other methods you could use. Maybe you have a foreign friend who could pay by credit card and then you could pay them the equivalent in RMB? Maybe you can get Proz's bank details and wire them the money from your bank account?

As for getting new clients and what to charge, you really should have a search through the forums and the article database where there is wealth of information on the subject.
Good luck and best wishes:) ▲ Collapse

Thanks for asking, gloucesterqi. We would like to make it as easy as possible for members in China to pay? Any suggestions on how we might do that?
Is Paypal commonly used in China? If so, is it possible for us to set up a Paypal-China account from outside the country?

| pay for membership via Moneybookers | Jan 29, 2007 |
As far as I know Moneybookers is widely used in China as well as PayPal. So you can try to pay for membership via Moneybookers. Details of this procedure you can find in FAQ. It takes some time but it works sucessfully. Good luck!

TOPIC STARTER | Your replies convey your generosity and conscience! | Jan 30, 2007 |
Firstly, thanks a lot to everyone who is concerned with my questions.
Secondly, Paypal, in my view, is relatively popular among, especially, translators in China. Because it's very convenient and free to pay and recieve cash through it. I think it's a good idea to set up a China Paypal account, then my colleagues and I can take advantage of it.
Thanks again.
