When you use Google Checkout, they take a 2% fee out of anything you transfer. Assuming Alex was paying his guy $50k a year we're talking $1000 just to transfer him the money. If the money is wired instead using Xoom for example, it'll cost $5 to send, and probably another $15 or so to receive, for a total of $20 a month - or $240 a year. >From a legal perspective it doesn't matter how you transfer the money. Just because it's via Google Checkout doesn't make it legal - it just means you're treating him like a vendor. You could do the same thing with a wire transfer if he gave you an invoice. -- Nitzan Kon http://www.future-nine.com/ http://www.comparevoipproviderrates.com/ _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
