Hi,
We live in Australia and receive US dollar cheques from Amazon (yes, cheques in this day and age!) which attracts delays and charges (and a trip to the bank!) It can also take six weeks to receive them - and sometimes we do not even receive them and have to have them reissued! We cannot for the life of us understand why Amazon Seller Central DOES pay us straight into our bank account in Australia but not Amazon Affiliates.
Anyhow, we came across Payoneer as we had heard that others in our same situation seemed to have found it to be a successful solution and we now set up an account, which was pretty painless.
But we note that in Amazon's information on paying associates it states that if the billing address for associates is outside the US they can only be paid by cheque.
My question therefore to anyone who is successfully using Payoneer in the same situation as us, am I being overly concerned about the "billing address" issue and should the Amazon now proceed to pay our earnings into Payoneer having now set payments to be by "Bank Deposit" ?
And is there the ability to provide a Payoneer "billing address" in the event this can indeed be an issue?
We are reluctant to contact Amazon about this as the Amazon support experience is one of the worst we have ever experienced - and we also do not them to raise any red flags needlessly.
We did previously send this to Payoneer as a support issue but received no reply.
Many thanks for any advice that can be offered.
