Send cash $$'s by International Signed-For post (Registered Post) costs you
£3.30 plus the cost of postage. Get the forms from the Post Office, they are
purple and white and work the same as Recorded Delivery or Special delivery.

It's fully insured as well, we just sent a load of euros that way to Spain.

Maximum insurable value is £600 BTW...

We always send in a small padded jiffy bag.

You can buy IMOs from American Express Bureau de Change outlets (or at
least you could a couple of years ago when I last did that).

Auctionchex will send a money order on your behalf - you pay with
paypal, they send an IMO or some sort of US money order. I haven't
heard of any problems with them but I'm still waiting for an ebay
item that I paid that way at Christmas so I don't yet know how
well they work.

Send cash. Get it insured and signed for. It was much cheaper then any
other way last time I had to do this
