last time, I accepted a bank transfer, I was charged $48 to receive it from my bank!! plus, my guests was charged on her end too - no problem, I just suck it up as it was for the balance due...but this one is just a deposit for a future booking and I hate to pay those fees for a very small amount of money.
This is the info. my guests has given me:
"I have several times tried to pay using three VISA cards and two Mastercards, but the answer is always the same: you can't pay using this card. I wonder what the matter is."
usually, I tell people to make sure they are not using a debit card as I find the European ones have small daily limits?? but that doesn't sound like the case if he has tried more than one. Any suggestions at all of what to tell him to try? (don't want to loose the booking, so, if I can't figure out what's wrong. I will just pay for the bank transfers) oh - this is paypal Finland, BTW (if that makes any difference)
Thank you for any hints of tips!!
-I could have a bank transfer to my Banco Posta account without the high fees - good option I hadn't thought of!
