I've read the instructions about submitting something to the store, and it says I'd get a check in the mail every month considering I've earned a minimum of $20. I was wondering if it's possible to set that limit higher, so that one could choose to wait till there's say.. for example $40. The reason I'm asking this is simple: most people have to pay (sometimes a LOT)extra to be able to cash an American check. If I received a check of $20, I would get only about $8 since cashing it would cost me about $12 and that sort of hurts... :/

i think pay pal is a good idea, as long as it's an option. like, you could choose whether you want the cheque, after whatever minimum (over $20), or the paypal option. for me, it doesn't cost me anything to cash a u.s. cheque, but the exchange is excellent. however, with the paypal, i'd lose on the exchange. but that's just me. so long as we get the option, i'm happy!

It's a free way to send money via email. Especially geared towards smaller transactions and auctions.

We have been exploring the Pay Pal; however, we would need a good amount of participation. Styxx, normally the receiver pays the Pay Pal fee; however, with enough participation we can do mass payments and Renderosity would pay the fees instead of you. And, Pay Pal would reduce my work load for paying you--that's the part I love :) The minimal payment of $20 may need to be raised, but it would have to be raised for all. It becomes an accounting nightmare to keep up with each merchant having a different minimal pay amount because that would have to be tracked manually. It is also time consuming to have to keep up with all the unpaid previous amounts.

I'm like Styxx, and benefit from the exchange rate here in Australia. It costs me $5 AU to cash the cheque but that doesn't really bother me :) I lke things the way they are, but I'm just one person, and the system has to work for everyone.
