Questions regarding paid subscriptions

[AlexisMedia]

I've read through the help files but they seem more software/setup related.

Is there anything to know, be aware of, avoid, etc of allowing paid subscriptions from other countries?

I would like to use paypal only. Will that be a good option for mostly US, UK, Canada, and closer surrounding Countries?

Is there any laws to be aware of from forum topics or something? Random country taxes etc?

Do I need to calculate the actual cost for those in the UK etc myself and type it into the subscription options or will paypal convert it for them itself automaticly (not familiar with the process)?

Probably my biggest dumb question... once I've setup my paypal account and 1 subscription option (already done both)... where does one go to view this subscription option? I don't see it in the registration area or in my own user settings (of course that's an admin account)?

Sorry for so many questions. Just not sure if this is something I should be targeting ONLY US people or if it's easy to open it up to the broader world without hassle?

Thanks!

Is anybody running an international paid forum here that could give some insight?

Anybody have insights on any of these questions? Thanks!

Sorry, I don't know about the international aspect. To subscribe, you go to your control panel (not admincp). Theres a link on the left in the "my account" section called Paid Subscriptions. It will show up if the usergroup is allowed to sign up for that subscription.

Thanks! I think that problem was that I was logged in as admin so I created another account and it's visible now.

I had a friend in the UK tell me that it's pretty normal for them to see the US price there and they just proceed to paypal for the auto currency conversion. That would make it so I don't have to worry about filling in the amounts for other countries and just leave it to paypal. Would that make sense to do? Seems like that's how they are used to doing things...
