Thats the worse thing about buying off ebay.de hardly anyone uses PAYPAL, Ive always had to use the bank transfer method , even when Ive told them to open an account and that PAYPAL i free...
Sorry Nohelp to you

:lol::lol::lol: dont think anyone takes me that seriously!

if you have phone or internet banking you could do a transfer, lots easier, you'll just need their IBAN (international bank account number) is a pain tho, dont you just love banks!

:saint:I'll hold off with the jam for the moment,i've got internet banking,does the recipient have to have it as well?:cool:

dont think so, you should be able to set up a transfer, takes about 3-4 days to get there. varies with different internet accounts, got to be worth a try??

:puzzled:I'll ring the bank thanks for the help,i'll save the jam for some tarts.:eureka:

now that sounds like a party! not sure calling young women tarts is the pc thing to do anymore:lol:

How strange, I'm in EXACTLY the same situation for a set of lovely machined exhaust rings for my Duke.

The guy has given me all his IBAN details blah, blah, etc but since the value is only £25 - I'm reluctant to pay more than a tenner or so to get the money to him.

DO a search for money transfer in google or ask.co.uk - there was very cheap one I found that lets you transfer money to someones Visa card.

My amount is only very small so I'm actually considering just getting the Euro bills from the post office - sticking them in a jiffy bag and sending it via some insured method - I remember doing this before and it worked a treat!
