Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2021 8:44 pm Post subject: Need help with bank transfer to Germany |
|
|
I need help, I don't know where to send this information. I bid for items on eBay in Germany. The seller only bank transfer is possible. It is very inconvenient for my bank to transfer money to Germany. I hope someone can help me transfer money in Germany. I can pay you in advance through PAYPAL (add Paypal handling fee and transfer handling fee) .
The transfer amount is 137 euros
Thank you very much. _________________ My CPU collection: www.T-CPU.com |

I'm sure you're aware, but just in case, keep in mind that recovering money in the event of a scam is significantly harder through bank transfer, compared to PayPal. _________________ My WTB List

I don't know more expensive option to handle payments/exchange currencies Today than by PayPal. I think it is time to check in Transferwise. _________________ Visit ABC CPU - Virtual CPU Museum. |

I have used Transferwise several times for paying people.
The rates to India are VERY good (where I have some programmers that I use)
Its simple and fast _________________ New for 2025! The CPU Shack has a co-processor!

Good point and good question.
After we (WFS2005 and me) checked that there are nearly 10€ of fees we decidet to use Chip-Pay to transfer the money if there is a second thing like that. _________________ i440BX

I'd do bank transfers with xe.com (best rates), Transferwise or Paysend a lot more often with known collectors if offered that option. Sadly, US banks charge $25 for receiving international payments, so to pay US sellers, Paypal is still cheapest. Not sure about other destinations. For EU and UK payments, bank transfer is certainly cheapest. _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.

Transferwise works with transfer in the same state, es. a my payment from Italy (euro) to an US bank ($) account figure like a US ($) to US ($) transfer not like an international transfer |

CPUShack told me that even using services that do domestic transfers, his bank charges $25. Only reason I still use Paypal with him. _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.

No. I probably wasn't clear, I meant to receive international transfers is free. US seems to charge for domestic transfers, from what John said a few years ago. _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.
