<p>That's funny about hubby not knowing. I recently had somebody pay for a transcript through PayPal. Dang if my husband didn't find that money and start spending it! It was like it was freeeeeeeee money to him.</p>

<p>Deborah, I don't understand. I keep money in my PayPal (it's a great way to buy something w/o hubby knowing -- lol). When I use the "personal" way to send money, it deducts from the money I keep in PayPal. It doesn't touch my bank. You do have to hook up your bank account to PayPal, so if you don't have money in there, then it might do that. It would be like writing a hot check. So just keep mula in PayPal. :)</p>

<p>My scopist bills me on the 1st and 15th. She sends it via email. I try to pay it within a few days. And she knows if she doesn't get it within a week, she'd better tell me because I forgot. I tried using Paypal but if you want it to go on your credit card, they will charge no matter what. The only way to get it free (after talking to them on the phone) is if you make it Personal and take it from a bank account.

<p>It seems like every new scopist I start with wants to be paid up front on the initial job they do. I have no problem with that bc it's usually a small job. </p>
<p>HOWEVER, once I accept this scopist, I tell them up front when I pay them and expain the schedule to them. I also tell them if they haven't received payment in 5 days after it's due, to send me an email and let me know. I sometimes make a mistake - or should i say my husband does LOL</p>

<p>I agree with Laura, scopists/proofreaders get paid whether I get paid or not. I generally pay my bills every weekend, so that's when my checks go out. </p>

<p>I try to pay my scopists as soon as they bill me, like within a few hours of getting the bill. I don't like when reporting agencies keep me waiting forever for payment, so I'm not going to do that to someone else. The work a scopist does for me isn't dependent on when an agency pays me, as I see it, so I'd rather not risk forgetting to pay a bill, which can happen when there's too much going on.</p>

<p>1. I prefer to pay right away via Bill Pay (no worries over PayPal percentages that way). But I think a lot of reporters don't pay till 30 days, since that's about when they are getting paid themselves.</p>
<p>2. Two weeks after the agreed-upon/stated-on-your-invoice due date. That's how long I wait, anyway, when an agency is late in paying me.</p>
