urm.. there are numerous ways..

the basic is 30%-50% (depending on the project spenditure) before any work begins and the remainder to be paid after client reviews the final work and must pay before the surrendering of any files.

the complex method will not only concern Deposit and Remainder but also termination fees and etc.

oops, forgot that i didn't mention of ways to be paid..

international - TT money (i dun use PayPal and etc)

local - online banking, cross cheque and cash

Western Union can be dealt at the POS MALAYSIA office or branches if I'm not mistaken. That's what I glanced at one time around their website.

Telegraph Transfer or Electronic Transfer of funds is normally done at the banks and you'll need to fill up a form if not mistaken. I've never done it as well honestly.

But if I'm not mistaken, both methods will involve a small processing or transaction fee charged towards you when either sending or receiving money.

cheers.
