Hi
I have just received a message from a French photo editor. She wants to use a photo (that I took at event) for a magazine.
She did indicate the budget but I have not asked for the price yet.
I will send her an email to confirm the price shortly
Here are some questions:
1) The budget is in Euros. I am thinking if there is any difference for getting it via Bank Transfer or PayPal. Transaction fees?
I did a Google search. But it seems to talk more about US banks.
2) The editor mentioned about sending her an invoice before I can get the payment. I am not a professional so I don't have any company name. Any advice on this? Can I just use any template online without any company name?
3) For the invoice, if I billed it in Euros, will there be any issues?
4) She has given me a VAT number. I know VAT is related to taxes. So do I need to file a tax or something overseas?
5) Lastly, she asked if I can send the high resolution photo and invoice her later as it is quite urgent. After the invoice, I will be paid within 7 to 10 days. Is it a common practice? I have looked at her Facebook account and the website link that she gave me. All seems quite reputable.
Given all the time in the world, I maybe able to find some of the information online.
But time is a factor now (they need the photo urgently), if you can help, it will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you for reading.
