How do I send my money to another country?!

Recommended Posts

Trying to send a payment to New Zealand for various goods and services... what's the best way to do this? I tried to find a way through my bank, but was unsuccessful.

Anyway, if somebody could point me in the direction of a reliable and affordable way to send some $$ over there, I'd really appreciate it.

PayPal? I'm pretty sure they'll service such a transaction. I sold a Pink Floyd album to a guy in Australia a few years ago, no problems.
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Western Union will work, but the recipient will have to go to a WU outlet in NZ to get the $. They are probably all over the place there.

I hear there are some good transaction handlers through Nigeria. :D:D


Seriously though PayPal will charge a fee like everyone else but it is easy and reliable.

...and no one has to leave their house.

The best way is to send it directly to me and I'll take it there for you. PM me and I'll send you my address. Never mind that post above, I'm more reliable.



I used to be a moderator. Dont trust these people. I know stuff about them. Bad, bad stuff.

Trust me instead.

Paypal.

They'll take a few percent off the top although that's a lot cheaper than a US wire transfer and the convenience is worth it.

Yesterday I bought pinball machine parts from Germany; and on other occasions I've sold things to various European countries and Australia.

Paypal does have a good level of reliability, but its level of protections is probably less than wire transfers between established, reputable, highly regulated, highly-insured banks. It's kind of like insurance: to get more protection, you pay more premium.

Dearest sir,

It is in best regards that I hope I am found thee. I am the son of the late venerial prince Philip Zimbosa of Nigeria. He has left me in posession of $15 million euros but they are unfortunately locked ina News Zeland bank account.

In finest hours of need that we found the odds to help one another. Please respond with your correct contact details so I may initiate the extrication.

Fool me once, shame on me.

Fool me twice, well, the second offer looked legit.

But I draw the line there.

Banks won't pull the money back out of a wire transfer recipient's account if the goods you buy aren't delivered. Paypal will.

You get more protection from paypal.
