I was reluctantly selling Bitcoin through QuadrigaCX due to lack of decent exchanges available to Canadians. I would have used Coinbase but they dropped support fiat withdrawals in Canada. Since I didn't trust them, I kept the value there at < 1k USD by doing it at a slow pace.

Google's approach of sending wire transfers is terrible since you end up being charged $20 in fees and 2.5% currency conversion fees. I got rid of the conversion fee by giving them the RBC US branch information with a USD account but I still lose $20 from each bug bounty payment.

They recently sent $200 for a small finding so 10% was wiped out by fees. It's also incredibly annoying needing to convert large batches of money from USD -> CAD via an ETF since our banks won't provide a reasonable currency conversion rate or a no annual fee USD credit card...

I strongly prefer not using PayPal but I don't have many other options to receive money from people outside Canada. If they won't use Bitcoin and can't easily send an international wire transfer, there aren't many other options that aren't worse than using trying to use PayPal.
