I disagree with that, I believe using a letter of credit is more secure for both parties.

Ah, the age-old debate: do you trust your international buyer or not? I'm with Magda on this one. Better safe than sorry when it comes to my hard-earned money.

You guys are overthinking this. The answer is clearly A, payment in advance. Why risk it with open account when you can just get the cash upfront? Safety first!

I was torn between B and C, but I think open account makes the most sense. Less paperwork and red tape to deal with. Plus, who doesn't love a little international credit?

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option C, open account. It seems the most convenient and flexible for small purchases, as long as you trust the buyer. What do you all think?

Come on, this is a classic international trade question. We should all be familiar with these payment options by now. I'm ready to tackle this one.

I'm not a fan of this question. It seems too focused on specific payment methods rather than broader international business concepts. I'd prefer a more open-ended question that tests our understanding of the overall import/export process.
