International payments-HELP!!!
 

I have won something off e-bay that is in Germany,unfortunatley the seller does not have Paypal and my bank wants £25 to send it to his bank!!Other than sending Cash(it's only 25 euros),is there another option?:puzzled:

Give nathanu a shout ! he lives out there!!!! oops i think he may be in the FALKLANDS... not sure Jasp !!!!!

Is it a bike cover? :puzzled:

No,why?

just wondered. I saw a guy who was based in Germany, who sells a lot of things on ebay. I nearly bought a cover around that price. Id of been stumped on the money front aswell then!

Jasper, Just send hime some euros in a jiffy bag. Done it a bunch of times.

I've sent cash before,it's just that why does the whole of the European banking community only charge 10 Euros to send a transation to a foreign bank,but Uk banks all chrge upid money.I wondered if anybody new a bank that doesn't charge the Earth!!I will send cash,probably!

Nope, I got ripped for 20 odd quid when I transferred funds recently. Xmas is too busy for me to risk the cash route.

I think you wher right the first time Mav.

Jasper, send cash by recorded delivery with insurance. Thats what i did when I paid Nathan

I usually send cash taped inside a folded piece of card. Have done it loads of times without any probs at all, but there's no guarantee.

The only other way is by Western Union, they charge around 6%.
