$384 in check fees!!!

Lol.

While we don't get cheque fees in our country, double taxation laws between the US and my country (the Philippines) deducts our cheques an additional 15% aside from the cut these merchants get from us. That means we roughly get 55% off Handango sales and 65% off Pocketgear.

Sometimes I wish I should have lived somewhere in the US.

I'm not sure about purchasing from another city but in our case, the Philippines has no "tax treaty" w/ the United States (as mentioned by Handango), thus we are liable for double taxation. I'm not sure why Handango does this and Pocketgear doesn't though. I still haven't discussed w/ them this matter yet.

As far as receiving money goes, Handango and Pocketgear has the option of transferring the payments to you electronically so it will reflect to you account w/in 2-3 business days (w/c is better than cheques because of the clearing time) BUT, they charge a nominal bank fee for this. In our case, Handango's bank charges $40 per transaction so we usually have them wire us the money if we have more sales for that particular month.
