how are you paid for translation jobs? | | | Payment options | Jun 6, 2003 |
There are several options depending on where you are, where your client is and a number of other factors. Some of these options: wire transfer, check, credit card, Paypal... You could type "payment" in the search box and check forum threads on these options. Good luck! Andrea | | | Paypal & bank transfer | Aug 11, 2003 |
I only accept payments either through Paypal (mainly those who wish to pay with a credit card) and transfers to my bank account (for greater amounts). I usually let the client choose which method he prefers. I had some problems with checks without funds, etc., so I no longer accept these methods. The fees associated to cashing in those checks were (specially in the case of international jobs) also too high. (Paypal also charges you, but it does cost me less than the other method)....

The method that is cheapest to you is obviously the bank transfer & it gives the client the assurance that he is paying a legitimate entity - but beware: the exchange rates are going to be killers!

Dear Colleagues, I need an advise from you. Last spring I've translated a lot of files for a Translation Agency. They have sent me the PO per any file I've translated, and they agreed to pay the files after 60 days fro their receipts. Up to now they have paid me only the first files and they have at least two months' delay in paying the others. I tried to contact the project Manager to get an explation for the delay but he does not answer at all my E-Mail. Wh... See more Dear Colleagues, I need an advise from you.

Ralf Lemster Germany Local time: 21:38 English to German + ... Send a reminder | Nov 5, 2003 |
Hi Tonina, The first thing to do once the payment deadline has passed is to send a (written) reminder, perhaps by registered mail so you can prove they received it. Have you checked the ProZ.com Blue Board as well as payment practices lists for information regarding that particular outsourcer? Best regards, Ralf | | | Antonella DI FAZIO (X) Local time: 21:38 English to Italian + ... ;-) same situation | Nov 26, 2003 |
Hi Tonina, I write you in English cause we are in an international forum, but I'm facing the same situation: I translated for a Spanish agency, they gave me a PO we agreed a rate and a payment term and I saw nothing till today... I wrote twice and the first time I received an answer and I'm waiting for the second anszer where I simply asked them if there are any news... Don't worry, if they do not pay I will "spam" them! | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » getting paid Wordfast Pro | Translation Memory Software for Any Platform
