i haven't actually sold any books via LSI australia.However, they are at least willing to pay my US and UK royalties via direct deposit in AUD to my bank account which is something.I only have to pay postage costs within Australia when I order books for myself.

Createspace now offer the same deal for amazon.co.uk and european amazon sites that they do for amazon.com . It seems that if you are based in Europe you can also get paid by direct deposit now.It seems that I will get 3 cheques: USD, GBP and EUR.

it's not easy to open a US bank account from overseas.Nor is it easy to get a bank to do a wire transfer remotely.

QuoteNor is it easy to get a bank to do a wire transfer remotely.Wow! This feels like Europe before the laws were made more customer-friendly.Cheques, gosh.Wiring funds from US to Europe is no problema.

if you are at the bank doing the origination it's easy. If you are a long way from it not so easy.
