Really glad it came through!
Definitely drop Paypal as an option. I give clients 2 options if they don't want to pay cash. I offer bank transfer, but the money must show in my account before I get naked. I give them my real name for the transfer - I'm out to everyone so it doesn't matter, but it does reduce the chances of them doing a successful chargeback. The other option is for them to send me an Amazon voucher via email (I shop so much on Amazon that this is basically the equivalent of cash to me!) Again the voucher needs to be in my email before we start. If they have an existing Amazon account then it's usually within 5 mins. If they've made a new account to do this, it could take some hours as Amazon do anti-fraud checks.
