I manage a diverse range of digital tasks, including building and selling websites on Flippa, hosting websites, managing servers, optimizing website speed and security, performing SEO, customizing code, and developing WordPress plugins. My work spans multiple countries, catering to clients worldwide.
For years, selling websites on Flippa was straightforward, especially when Escrow supported Revolut—a bank known for its fair USD-to-GBP conversion rates and low fees. However, when Escrow removed Revolut as a payment option, I had to rely on Halifax, which introduced additional costs: a bank fee, a higher currency conversion fee, and the Escrow fee. Combined with Flippa’s fees, the process became less profitable.
I sought an alternative to avoid these high fees and unfair currency conversions, and cryptocurrency stood out as the perfect solution.
Why I Choose Cryptocurrency Payments
Cryptocurrencies like XRP, SOL, and LTC have revolutionized my payment process. Unlike traditional methods, crypto ensures instant transactions, negligible fees, and fair exchange rates. For example, $100 worth of XRP is converted to GBP at the current market rate without deductions. This transparency and efficiency make crypto ideal for receiving payments, especially in USD.
From now on, I prefer accepting cryptocurrency for website sales and services. Upon receiving payment, I immediately convert it to GBP via Revolut and transfer the funds to my bank account. This approach avoids:
- Bank Fees: Traditional USD-to-GBP bank transfers often include hidden costs.
- PayPal Fees: Crypto eliminates the standard 3-4% fee charged by PayPal.
- Unfair Conversion Rates: Cryptocurrency transactions use real-time market rates, ensuring fair value.
By adopting crypto payments, I’ve significantly reduced transaction costs and optimized my international payment process without holding onto the crypto for long.
The Benefits of Cryptocurrency Over Traditional Payments
- Global Consistency: The value of a cryptocurrency remains the same worldwide, unlike fiat currencies subject to varying exchange rates.
- Speed: Cryptocurrencies process transactions in seconds or minutes, compared to traditional bank transfers that can take days.
- Lower Fees: SOL, XRP, and LTC charge minimal transaction fees, ensuring more of your earnings stay with you.
Cryptocurrency has become my preferred payment method for website sales and digital services. It’s faster, cheaper, and more reliable than traditional banking or PayPal. By embracing crypto, I’ve streamlined my business operations and ensured fair, cost-effective transactions for clients around the world.
If you’re in the business of international payments, consider switching to cryptocurrency—you’ll save time, money, and hassle.
