money from abroad

Hi Dave.

Talk about timing ! Squeaky seems to like PayPal.

I've not found a method better than Paypal - there are other money transfer agencies (Bidpay?) but I've never used them. I suppose you could ask them to send cash (insured) and then change it at the Post Office. They don't charge a fee for doing it, but they're not that fast.

I realise this isn't very helpful...

When you say you received an IMO for $11, do you mean one in USA dollars, or in GBP?

Before PayPal, I would send an IMO, available from the US Postal Service. I would purchase a money order for $x (plus pay a fee of $y). The US Postal Service would convert dollars to pounds and mail an IMO to the seller. I always thought this meant the seller wouldn't have to pay a fee; at least no one ever complained, and I can remember making multiple purchases from at least one person.

I use and like 2CheckOut. Personally, I hate PayPal and would never consider doing business with them. I found 2CO when I was looking for an alternate processor that didnt want my first born.

They accept people worldwide, have a "request payment" feature for auctions, offer an ATM card for international clients so you can suck the money out of an ATM and they'll wire you or send you a check. They also support foreign currency for your customers, which may be of intrest to some of them.
