Advice needed for sending money to a US bank, by discoduster on Jul 30, 2009 11:03:11 GMT 1, Hi
I'm buying a print from a well respected forum member in the States.
He's given me his Bank details but I'm a bit in the dark what to do next. (Yes, I've lived a sheltered life :
Thanks

If you have all the info make a bank transfer, most of the banks made it trought the web. From UK to USA the money will arrive in a 3-4 labour days and then the "seller" will send you the print...

Advice needed for sending money to a US bank, by ramo on Jul 31, 2009 11:38:19 GMT 1, Use international bank transfers if possible! You will need swift code and BIC code, I hope it works with the US; within Europe its easy. The currency is also very important, there can be different currency rates if you transfer in USD or GBP. It could also be a suprise for the seller when he gets the money in GBP and his bank gives him a bad currency rate. You should also ask your banks about the fees..
I would not prefer paypal, they charge high fees and give bad currency rates. For smaller amounts Paypal is ok but higher amounts can cost you a bunch of money! Or the seller could be pissed of when they charge him high fees.
