Is it a bike cover?

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!

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%.
