I used paypal once which was pretty easy and had no hidden charges although it was € to €. I reckon western union is a bit of a rip off. Got charged €40 on top of a pretty poor € to $ exchange rate so I don't think I'll use that again.

Always with Paypal.

I use paypal myself. I think its a lot more popular than western union, and there's only a very small fee if you have to change currency.

Used Paypal, CC, Western Union and Bank Draft, gotta say my mind is much more at ease with Paypal... Bless it

paypal or cc i suppose...bank drafts are hassle

Trouble is some people don't accept paypal from international buyers. Well not some people. Americans mainly. Kills me when you see a great deal but in the small print 'lower 48 states only'...

That always happens. Americans usually get great deals but a lot will only ship inside US for expensive things like guitars because its less hassle returning things that dont have to go through customs

I always pay with CC through Paypal

I'd never pay an EBayer with a draft, though I have used one to pay a shop. Otherwise I always use Paypay.

A few shops I have used have restrictions on shipping certain brands outside America as well.
I use Paypal myself

if you use www.thomann.de you can pay by bank transfer... and shipping cost is €20 per order, you place yer order they send you the bank details and you lodge the money through yer local bank.... there are bank charges to consider though, i´m not exactly sure how much they´d be, it may depend on the amount, and they send you yer stuff
