Yeah, I did thought of paypal or western union.
I'll have to check with them again cos I've this impression that big companies would want to issue cheques.
Thanks.

Avoid overseas cheques as there could be higher clearing fees. TT is best. If receiving payment from overseas, be aware that there may be processing / clearing charge imposed on the payee (i.e. the receiver of the payment).

Paypal is the best option as they also allow client to oay you using credit cards. And yes, alot of company do use credit cards to make payment.
