When trying to receive payments from abroad, you have come across the high PayPal commissions that can well take up to 8% of your earnings. 

Imagine that you have a client in the United States and he is going to pay you $1,000 if you use PayPal, apart from the fact that the client must set up an account and this takes a while... you will also have to negotiate with him, who covers the high commission or simply decide to lose up to 8% of your earnings.
