Overseas Transation fee
I recently joined a US based website where freelance workers can bid for work. As it's only £4 a month I thought I'd give it a try. Only thing thats bugging me is my bank charges me £1 every time the charge is taken. I know it's only a £1 but its 25% of the original fee. I concidered taking out a PAYPAL credit card but…
