yeah, I know it's termed high risk, my question was more about the realistic level of risk attached to accepting clients from the nation, as so much of what I read online was contradictory. thanks for taking the time to post, I appreciate it

thanks for that, and what you posted matches every other opinion I've solicited from pay site owners and payment processing company employees; namely that the term 'high risk' and actual high risk are often two separate things. thanks for taking the time to post, much appreciated

Unless you know the person well, it could be a risk, I would be asking how these Slovenian clients normally pay her.... and why she has the need to suddenly share the money with you by passing it through your business.
There are actually a few chargeback free methods of payment in Europe including for example paysafecard. That is available in Slovenia I believe but I have never had a sign up through that from there personally.

Really good points, thank you! In the case of my site it's not at all unusual that she's approached me, as I actively advertise my site in the community in which we both participate, and while we're not 'friends' per se she's a peer that I know from around the net and I have no concerns about her legitimacy.
She's actually thus far been using Paysafecard with Neteller with her clients, the issue for her is that her volume of business exceeds the limits imposed by the services. She also wants to branch out to clients outside of Slovenia, and most clients in North America (for example) aren't familiar with Paysafecard.
Thanks again each of you for taking the time to post, it's much appreciated and you've given me a lot to think about and research. Based on the totality of what I've read here and on the other board I think I've made my decision, but I'm definitely going to do my own due diligence and research Paysafe/Neteller limits based on what you wrote lagcam, before I make a firm decision. Gracias
y'all are awesome, hope everyone is having a wicked night
