That, my friend is why they invented the money order: reasonably cheap for the
buyer, costs nothing the for the casher (I think, dont quote me on this) and • is
accepted worldwide (you just get it in the correct currency). The buyers end
handles the currency conversion so the seller gets it ready to go in us$ or • euros
or whatever.

Unfortunately, when you are dealing with certain credit unions and banks, the
rules tend to become more rigid. I finally got to the point that I would
accept NO orders from Canada because I'd inevitibly get burned. Check, MO...it
didn't matter because I still wouldn't get my money. Even check cashing places
wouldn't help out because it was foreign currency drawn on foreign banks.
