what would be the best way to get cash to an overseas account... i dont have paypal and to me in theory bank transfer would be the best option...

will i be raped with a bank transfer fee?

noob question i know but ive never sent money overseas and dont want it to end up in oprahs bank account.

The last time I sent money overseas (to the UK), Commonwealth bank charged about $25, but at the other end the UK bank also took a charge out of the money and I ended up being short. Not worth it in my opinion.

I wouldn't be doing it without Paypal. You will get slogged with bank fee's on both ends - even though its already been said.

If its ebay let me know?
Also, if its a UK company I do everything through my family to avoid unwanted costs.

its going to JELLGTR from the ftooc. for the widebody arches.

- $25bux is alright for aus bank fee but im guessing i should send over a few more $$$ to cover their bank fee... which i honestly dont mind paying.

Jay, sign up to paypal. If you have a credit card or debit card (like me) you can just link it to paypal and when you pay someone, you set an amount and it takes it out of your account.

Plus paypal is really secure as well so if you lose your money somehow, they'll most likely cover you. I dont use it that often buts its been good when ive had to use it.

OK .. Now this is my area ...

You get charges sending TT's ... Telegraphic Transfers ...

The bank that gets the inward TT will charge you a fee, cause you are not converting the money through them, and since they will only hold the funds for a day or so before passing it on the the account, they are upset that they don't make enough money ..

So, here is the plug ... If you have an Aussie account, my product will do your transfer for you for a flat fee of $5.00 ... And give you closer to a wholesale rate, so better then any other bank or paypal ...

The product is run by Westpac, and is branded as XYLO ... I launched it about 18 months ago, and it is done all on-line ... But it can only send to banks that have a valid SWIFT code ... The receiving bank will still probably charge you, but hey, that is just the norm when sending a TT ... If you bank through Westpac, your deal will go out the same day .. If you bank through NAB, Com, ANZ etc. the value date will be 3 days after the deal date.. This is so we have enough time to debit your account, and let the funds clear before we release overseas...

You wont be able to use a credit card to debit, but will need to have the funds already in your bank account... Check out our rates on ...

www.xylo.com.au ....

Cheers...
