Iban and Nic bank transfere

[motorman]

Believe me guys i have learned my lesson with these Bank transfers, never again.

Mick, Viewfield I was unaware that you guys were able to do these transfers on the cheap being in the EuroZone. I am not sure if that is enough of a sweetener to pursuade me to ditch the pound just yet!!

Next time you want something from Germany, let me know. I'll pay by bank transfer and you can reimburse by PayPal

This is good news Guys, is this my forum 'Pen-Friend' idea starting to take-off, hope so, because it can only bring some benefit to various forum members chasing models in foreign parts but hindered by currency conversion costs and I suppose EBay wrangles.

Ghosty.

Good advice there about not doing it for relativley small amounts.......They can cost more to change monies like you say....I just had a buyer of Matchbox stuff a few weeks ago[was one of my last buyers aswell ]who was in Germany and would only send me a cheque from his bank....My bank the Halifax have stopped doing free exchanges now and where charging me 10% or 15%...Then his cheque got rejected as he had changed the date and not signed it....To save time as he was not checking his messages on Ebay I sent his cheque back with a covering letter and requested cash if that was OK with him..Guess what?.....No reply...So if by chance you are on here mister ..Wheres me cash?

I am not in the euro zone - I use both Danish and Swedish kronor living both sides of the border ! British banks tend to be greedy offering very high charges and take a greater bite on exchange rates compared to our banks here - when I took my funds out of the UK cash was the cheapest way to get the most kronor here.........

It's simple for me. I do not accept checks from outside the USA, I do not accept any form of electronic payment other than paypal from outside the USA. The reason: fees are excessive for bank transfers (even within the USA) and checks are even more expensive. I do plenty of business in Germany and all my German customers use paypal. If german collectors are serious about wanting to buy outside the euro zone, they should establish a paypal account.

And so say all of us.. ------------Well sorry I cant speak for everyone but you know what I mean.

It's not the buyer's that's the problem, it's the sellers! Some just think the world ends at the German border. (Just like many in the USA)

I have a friend who repeatedly buys stamps from everywhere in the world and he has no Paypal account, mainly because he is not a computer Freak and does not understand the ins and outs of intermet banking and the like. I make his PayPal payments for him and he gives me the money, simple.
