Something that I've been asked consistently is how come you don't use Xoom anymore? And, the key reason why why is due to the fact Xoom is only limited now to U.S. and I once did use Xoom given that its fees are fewer than Paypal but given that has recently been restricted and I'm in Australia, and without doubt there are plenty of people beyond the States outsourcing towards the Philippines, you ought to get another way.

Something that I've been asked consistently is how come you don't use Xoom anymore? And, the key reason why why is due to the fact Xoom is only limited now to U.S. and I once did use Xoom given that its fees are fewer than Paypal but given that has recently been restricted and I'm in Australia, and without doubt there are plenty of people beyond the States outsourcing towards the Philippines, you ought to get another way.

Yes, Paypal is a little bit higher in price but I found a quite good way so that you can pay on a more affordable fee compared to using Xoom. So whatI'm probably going to be showing now is how I use what we call the Mass Payment system in Paypal - not a typical way but Mass Payment system in Paypal. And, this techniqueactually lowers your rates. It does demand that you submit a text file and also do some extra part of clicking through but it can save you on the rates as compared to paying $4 US or so per procedure, there's a chance you're settling up to a dollar essentially. So it's four times less. Let's just hop over and I'll present to youthe right way to work itinside your system.

Initially, what I advise you should do is log on to your Paypal account by just simply browsing Paypal.com. So I'm logged in now. As soon as you've logged in, I'll usually go towards the "Send Money" as a way to provide money to my virtual assistant and I usually do this monthly. Okay, so if you want in order to transmit money, this is the normal way to do it. You just enter To: whoever, and you enter your ranges here and you can click Services, and then click Continue right down here. In that way, usually either your virtual assistant or your virtual staff will get charged a fee of $4 per financial transaction and also you probably might get charged as well according to what country you're in. Alternatively, I use this approach called Make a Mass Payment and I've just clicked on it. To establish a Mass Payment, this is what you must do.

You can actually transfer up to 5,000 payments simultaneously. Say you got 10 virtual staff in your business, you can actually post it all inside this little text file that I'll teach you the way to set up. Then, add it once and you'll do all the payments all right away. So reading it right here, it says here you can actually add a payment on this page and you also meet the information you have using the APIs. Those are a few strategies. What I suggest you do is using a payment file and it's just a simple text file or CSV file. All you should do is definitely pick your file by clicking "Upload here" and look for your file. So I've uploaded data called MassPayment.txt and you also need to solve the payment receipts acknowledged by the email, and then in your email subject you'll be able to type something in like "This is your transaction" or "Your invoice payment" and you'll type your receipt. I in most cases just forget about those fields. The most important thing is to process your payment.

As soon as you've done that, just simply hit the Review button and what will happen is it will take you through the payment process. It'll automatically pay to your virtual assistant the ranges that they require. So that's the way you create the Mass Payment. What I'll tell you next is how to make the text files that you've uploaded. We'll go towards the text file now. As you'll be able to see here, here is the MassPayment.txt file and all of these is you simply have to type in three simple fields. The initial field is the e-mail address that you're just going to be transferring the payment to, it's the Paypal email. It can be anything, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , or the This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it then an amount without dollar sign or any currency sign, so 325.31 then USD or whatever payment currency it is. Amongst here, these are generally all tabs. If you clickTab key, these are typically all tabs. At one time you've done that, that's the initial payment that I choose to make for the person. You can actually hit Entry button and then it will generate a new line for you and it'll do the same principle. It is possible to pay up to many, several currencies available inside Paypal. If you do it in this process, you'll save quite a lot of money on your payment payments.
