    PayPal Fee Increase - where's the uproar? ;s

    No, that wouldn't work. PayPal requires USD account to be based in the US. They refused to add our USD account with HSBC.

    PayPal Fee Increase - where's the uproar? ;s

    I am glad it worked. Initial withdrawal might take 2-3 business days. After that, it will take 1 business day which is pretty good.

    PayPal Fee Increase - where's the uproar? ;s

    Don't bother emailing them. You need to phone them to add the USD bank account. Mention the bank as Community Federal Savings Bank which is what Transferwise is using. They will be able to add the bank account for you. If the agent refuses then hang up and try again. I had to call them a couple...

    PayPal Fee Increase - where's the uproar? ;s

    There is no need to get a US bank account. If you have Transferwise borderless account with USD then you can withdraw directly from PayPal with zero fee. I have been doing this since last year without any problem. I am withdrawing over $100k every month without any issues. Do NOT convert the...

    Bank KYC Forms - is this some new law?

    It seems to be standard policy now. I would recommend completing it quickly or your account will be suspended or terminated. I had to go through this last year and it did take them a long time to resolve. They even suspended one of my account due to their delays. It was activated once everything...

    Can i create a company in UK by adding a public privacy

    Lots of companies provide nominee director service. You can use that to stay anonymous. Do a search on Google for 'nominee director service'. Please keep in mind you will still be listed as a person with significant control (PSC). If you want to avoid that then you can form an offshore company...

    PayPal and USD Balance Transfers

    This is possible but you need to phone PayPal to add the account. What I did was open a Transferwise borderless account and added that account to my PayPal account. When you phone PayPal, do not mention Transferwise since some of their customer support staff will not add the account for you...

    review sites

    I need product review. Other sites are offering it for lower cost. For example, reviews.co.uk is charging £72/month for company and product review. Trustspot.io is around £64/month. Yes, I am aware of it. My only concern is that if I need to upgrade in future, it will not be cheap. Reviews...

    review sites

    Yes but if you need to upgrade then their cheapest plan costs £149/month on 12 months contract. Plus if you need product review then you need to pay £349/month on 12 months contract. I don't think you can move reviews between platforms.

    Thank you for explaining that. Does anyone have experience with reviews.co.uk, trustspot.io or feefo.com? These providers are within my budget of around £100/month. https://www.reviews.co.uk/front/pricingplans https://uk.trustspot.io/Pricing https://www.feefo.com/business/gb_en/pricing

    This post is not regarding genuine or fake reviews. I am trying to understand whether Trustpilot's higher ranking will make any difference to my site SEO compare to other providers like feefo, reviews.co.uk, etc. Trustpilot is very expensive compared to other providers, so I am trying to decide...

    This is why I want reviews from verified buyers. I don't mind bad reviews from verified buyers since it will help me improve my service but I don't want competitors leaving fake reviews which can hurt the business.

    review sites

    I am not looking to use more than one site. My question is whether these companies ranking provide a better result with Google. For example, Trustpilot ranking is very high compared to rest of the review sites. Global Rank - 731 Rank in United Kingdom - 71

    review sites

    I am looking to sign up with feefo but I got a question for other users who are using a similar service. Does the ranking of these companies affect the performance? According to alexa.com, Trustpilot has the best ranking. The problem with Trustpilot is that anyone can leave a review which can be...
