 Good evening all,
I have to send $35 to the USA for a item of tooling, the recipient
doesn't except PayPal but requests a International Money Order, how do you
go about sending one of these plus costs as all the items I have bought
previously have been through PayPal.
Many thanks, Ben

Ask your bank or post office.

If the recipient is willing to give you destination bank details, you
can get your bank to make a direct payment into their bank account. I
regularly send and receive foreign currency amounts by that method.
None of these methods are nearly as cheap or convenient as using
Paypal though - one or other of you will need to pick up the admin
cost of making the transfer (or getting the money order made out),
which will be a significant chunk of your $35.

Regards,
Tony

International money orders do not exist in Europe, you will need to
find another way of paying. Last item I ordered some ignition parts
for a model engine I was lucky in having a relatio who has a dollar
bank account for their business and got a cheque from them.

Try your Bank and ask for International Cheque Payments.... they
should be able to supply you with a cheque drawn upon a bank in the
recipients country....
I presume all Banks have this service... the Halifax-BoS does ... and
I presume they do this for USA ... I've had them for Germany in Euros
and Canada in Canookian-dollars - so I;m presuming that they do it for
all major currencies/countries. It aint cheap though and IIRC it
takes about 10 days to process, ... I seem to recall that the german
one cost about =A317.50 last year. (So much that it has made me double
check that all sellers accept Paypal now. International...no
Paypal ... no purchase!)

Good luck

Ian

For Small amounts (such as this) I have in the past sent $ bills in a
double envelope by airmail. cost is not to much, and just bills feels
like a letter to the postie. cheaper than an international bank
transfer. If the seller will take a credit card then just ring them up
and pay like you would over the phone on this side of the pond.
