Hi- My happy dance stopped flat...My Framed Poster has to be shipped to Japan. The buyer did not mind the unreal shipping cost of over $200.00, but now Billpoint won't allow me to accept his payment (I can only accept payments under $200.00 total, mine comes to $635,00). What do I do now? I contacted Billpoint, but God only knows how long they will take! Any other suggestions? Buyer needs to use a Credit Card.

I'd use bidpay, and break it up into two payments, I believe their max is $500 per transaction. Hope this helps

BidPay works really good and fast. My international customers have used it several times. It's free for you, and inexpensive for them.

bidpay has a $500 limit, and I believe they won't allow the buyer to send two payments. You can try writing [email protected] and see if they will raise your limit, you never know. You might try http://www.propay.com It allows international payments for 3.5% + $.35, but they have a 30 day float on the funds before they transfer your money to you, unless you're in dire need of the cash that's not a bad deal. I'm not sure what the limit on the transaction is check on that first. ProPay needs some serious work on their web site.
Worst case senario would be to use CCNow, you'll have to bend over and pay them 9%.

What about iescrow? I know they ship internationally since they have a Japanese language logo on their website. They do have a fee, but might be the same as Billpay.

KYMS -
Can they send PART by bidpay and part by Billpoint? $200.00 at Bidpay and $500 at billpoint gets you over the $635.
