difference between getting payment and requesting payment in paypal

maverick_ymca · 01-14-2008

I see two options to bill my clients. Either I send them request for bill via request money option or they directly send me money. What is the exact difference between two of them?

Sending them the bill is a pro active way to get the funds. Letting them pay directly is like allowing them to pay in their own sweet time.

Sending money is just sending the money without any request. When they also request it Paypal will notify you that "Whoever" is requesting this amount and if you accept or not.

For getting payment, that mean you have received payment from someone via Paypal. However, for request payment, you are sending a Paypal bill to someone for request payment. Some people they need this bill before issue the payment.

I too have wondered many times on why my clients always ask for requesting payment from them for my service rather than them sending it directly through paypal. Now i know why. But is there any cost advantage to it?
