After all the fraud , anyone still taking credit cards or Paypal and such services? Any fool proof method to verify such cards? Paypal will also do a chargeback if there is problem rite? Currently my policies for all overseas order pure money transfer through bank. Cant find any safer method. Prob is clients from India, Pakistan normally have quite restrictive banking rules. For such countries, any suggestions?

very true,
you should try using money orders for those countries. I myself am an Indian & used to live in India, sending a money order was not such of a hassle especially considering the numerous amounts of western unions there...

but not sure if western union does chargeback :(

I think western union is a better choice for sending small amount (for that I mean in the hundreds of US dollars). This is because the money transfer (TT or bankdraft) might cost you almost the same price as what you are supposed to pay for.

For example, if i make a TT of US$100, i have to pay almost another $100 in the UK. which I would think doesn't worth it in a way.

Just to point out, what if there is a real case where you need to do a refund? are you going on the same route? (Money transfer or TT or western union)? well just to point out in case you might miss a point.

Good Luck

I've never received a fraud order. We have legit clients from Poland, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Belgium, Brazil, Argentina, US, Canada, UK, and probably a few more that I can't name off the top of my head.

Of course, Pakistan we receive quite a number of orders. And valid paying business sites.
