Terry the last time I got my bank to do a transfer to another currency it cost me about AUS 30.00 for a $150.00 purchase in USA ;-( The Paypal option is definitely the cheapest and safest.

That may be the best route. I did that once some years ago, but had forgot about it.

PayPal sure would be an easy way of collecting payment. Does anyone know whether PayPal charges for a payment? I'm have a basic, no frills PayPal account.
