Thanks in advance.
Answer: Online purchases from abroad by Indian residents is quite common these days as more and more people get
used to shopping on-line.
Payments can be made by:
•
Credit Card
•
Debit Card
•
PayPal
•
Western Union
•
Money Order, Bank draft etc.
First find out what options the company you are buying your gifts from has for accepting payments. Then you can
speak to your bank and get advice on the best method of sending money abroad.
Before sending money for your purchases, ensure that you are indeed dealing with a reputable organization. PayPal is
one way people can to some extent be assured that they have someone to turn to if they do not get the items they
purchased. To learn more about using PayPal from India to send or make payments click HERE. Most people in India
