<P>It depends. Some countries apply a surcharge on an international money
order (for example Norway and the Netherlands). Other countries like
Canada have a very relaxed arrangement with the U.S. and you shouldn't have
any trouble.</P>
<P>A bidder in Germany once paid for items in a U.S. auction with a check drawn
on a New York bank. It worked very well but his bank in Germany took two
weeks to prepare the check.</P>
<P>You can usually wire money -- a bank-to-bank electronic funds transfer --
for a reasonable fee.</P>
