HI Gang

I have a prospective customer in Belgrade Serbia who wants to download some of my files.:clap

However, he is stating that he does not see a Buy This Photo link in the gallery.:dunno I just want to confirm that we can accept business from Serbia and that I just need to give him clearer instructions; or, maybe we can't accept business from Serbia for political or monetary reasons, credit card issues, exchange rates, or what ever so the buy link doesn't show there? Can someone advise please?

Thanks.

    We don't ship to Serbia I'm so sorry :(
    The buy link should show just fine though.

    You could do an independent transaction, via paypal or Google Checkout....

    It's a file download so there's no shipping issue.

    So just to confirm, he has the buy link and he can purchase downloads from Serbia via major credit card?

    I'd expect so, but it appears not to be the case - sorry Chuck :(

    After seeing Andy's reply I was curious, so I checked both PayPal and Google Checkout. PayPal doesn't do business in Serbia, but it looks like Google Checkout can be used there, as per this page. Of course that would mean you'd need to set up a Google Checkout plus set up a page somewhere containing a downloadable image where you could limit access to that page/image.

    Only you know whether it would be worth setting up...
    Info at https://checkout.google.com/sell/.

    Wow ... Thanks Denise for going through all that trouble!

    This was just some random guy who happened to trip over some of my work and wanted to download a couple of files.

    I doubt that it's worth all the trouble setting up an account just for this guy especially since so many people never follow through on what they say they want to do anyway.

    But at least we learned something.

    Thanks again.
