| I'm hoping someone here knows a solution... I'd like to buy something from Europe, but I hear Paypal (only method I've used for international transactions) can be iffy there. Does anyone else have recommendations for payment methods? I'm in the US, seller is in Denmark.
Edit to say my potential partner and I would still like to deal, but my bank (small credit union) doesn't do direct transfers and she can't accept a Paypal payment. Is there anyone in Europe preferably who'd be willing to help? I'd make the payment to you via Paypal (plus a little extra for your trouble of course and not funded by credit card), and you'd transfer the payment to her. She just needs to get the shipping quote, and we're ready to go. Thanks for any assistance!

| PayPal is perfect in Europe, too. But you have to check if the seller accepts it...I think Germany is the only country where a large part of the private sellers distrust it, because of the buyer-guarantee In other countries PayPal is accepted unless otherwise stated, in Germany PayPal in NOT accepted, unless it is mentioned. _________________ SUSANNE |

In Germany is a bank transfer for free and Paypal not, thats it :) _________________ www.spielzeugtiere.com STS members can merge Andreas |

| Thanks, everyone! The seller is distrustful of Paypal, and it would be a private transaction. I've never used anything else for international, and have never had a problem- nor have my partners to my knowledge. Hmm, hope we can figure something out. |

| SO sorry for the delay, I was admitted to the hospital Friday morning and just got out. Yes, they needed Iban. The purchase total is US $57, with whatever a helper wants to charge as a fee on top of that. Thank you. I apologize for any delays answering in advance, I'm still quite weak and not able to be online much. |
