Have you been paid online? How do you want your money get to you? What methods have you tried and which one do you like most?

I been paid for web design and development services rendered to clients from different countries. Most of them I met through GetAFreelancer. I've also been paid by Google for adsense, my first was last year (2008) and been paid twice this year (2009).

For payments from Google, I opted to receive it through Western Union Quick Cash. It's quick and very easy to claim the money. Also, Google pays for the remittance fee so I get the amount in full.

For payments through GetAFreelancer, I prefer using Payoneer debit card. GetAFreelancer sends out payments on a weekly basis and it's done within Mondays - Wednesdays. Like Western Union, money transfer through Payoneer is quick but the fee is a bit expensive but you can't almost feel it if you are to get $200 or more per transaction. You get the money in any ATM machine where Master Card is accepted.

For any other payments, my last option is Paypal. The thing about this method though is that, payments you received are applied with transactions fees. If you are to collect say $200, you will get it a few dollars less. Then, when you have it transferred to your bank account, if you go beyond the lower limit, you also have to pay for another fee.

Any other method? Perhaps, for those who are into writing reviews and any other tasks online, there are other payment methods either preferred by the payor or the payee.

No matter what the method you use, you should make sure that you will get what you have worked for. Moreover, no matter what the payment method is, IT IS ALWAYS GREAT TO BE PAID ONLINE :)
