Payment Methods

I accept the following forms of payment:

• PayPal
• Western Union - contact me for my address if you would like to use this form of payment.
• ICC "checkels". Make the payment before the lesson by typing the following command in Dasher:
  c-offer Tiger-Lilov [amount] real-time chess lesson payment
  Replace [amount] with the appropriate number of Checkels. You will need to have a valid ICC account, and have already purchased sufficient checkels. Be sure to see the note below, if you are considering this payment method.
• bank transfer - contact me and I will send you my bank account information.

Please remember, as with any other commercially available service, my fees are due in advance.

Note: Although I have listed ICC checkels here as a possibility for some students who can’t get a PayPal account and prefer not to make Western Union or Bank money transfers to me that may take considerable time and service fees in some cases, the payment with Checkels is an option that is 20% more expensive due to the same transactional costs that ICC applies to the system. As there is PayPal handling fee of roughly 5-6 % and service fee for Western Union and bank money transfers, students paying with Checkels directly to my account are also required to submit 20% of the fee for any service on top of the basic fee listed on my website, because that is the commission ICC would take from me if I choose to convert my ICC checkels into real money. Thus, if possible, try to use the other cheaper methods or include a 20% commission/sales fee to your Checkel transactions. In addition, my fees are in Euro and this may reflect the amount of Checkels (which are directly related USD) you want to submit when ordering the personalized program, because the exchange rate is changing all the time.
