Receiving international payments

These tips to help make receiving payments from buyers in other countries easier.


Find out whether your preferred payment methods are accepted internationally. If they aren't, add new payment options that will work for the buyers you're trying to attract.


Note: If you accept PayPal payments with a Premier or Business account, you can accept credit card payments from buyers in many countries.


Be flexible and responsive to buyer needs. If your buyer suggests an alternative payment method that is faster, easier, or safer, consider using it. Being flexible could get you your money faster and will improve your buyer's experience.


If you are passing shipping costs on to your buyers, review our tips on shipping internationally and use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping costs. Your buyers can then add this to their payment. If there are any duties, taxes, or additional fees, be sure to explain them clearly to your buyers .

Recognizing a counterfeit cashier's check scheme


Sellers of high-priced items sometimes receive requests from foreign bidders (often located in Africa) asking them to accept a foreign cashier's check as payment or deposit for the item.


The cashier's check amount often far exceeds the value of the seller's item.


The buyer asks the seller to send the overpayment amount via money wire transfer service.


The problem is that the cashier's check is most likely fraudulent and it can often take weeks or even months for the seller's bank to know if a check is real or is fraudulent. Some checks may appear to be from a US bank but upon closer inspection, could include foreign country or city names. If the cashier's check is fraudulent, the seller is held responsible. Sellers should never accept overpayments from buyers for items where the buyer is asking to be reimbursed for overpayment.
