I don't know how anyone else feels about it, but when dealing in Autralia, I
prefer to either deposit payment, or have the payment deposited in one of my
bank accounts. The major benefit of this is that it allows the person
getting paid to receive the money almost instantly, so there's no delays
before the seller can get the item posted. It also allows for people to get
something that may only be on sale for a short time from someon who has
already spent their lego budget for the month/whatever [this is becoming a
regular occurence...looks like the budget needs an increase]. Other benefits
are that you're not giving extra money to Aus post when you don't need to,
and you don't have to pay bank fees on a cheque.

For the moment, I'd say no, as the fees would be rather high unless we had a
minimum $500 or so in it. However, if after we organise the group [1] we
decide that an operating fund may be useful/needed then it could be worth
seriously considering.
