Does it have to be a transfer via bank account or can someone pick it up?

You could do a money transfer via somewhere like Thomas Cook. There is a fee to pay (unsure of how much) and it takes 10 minutes to "arrive" at the destination.

Go into your bank and do an international money mover payment (BACS/CHAPS transfer). Trouble is they will charge you £10.00 admin fee on top of the amount you are sending.

I'm going out to Oz in 4 weeks, could maybe deliver it personally

what about something like paypal?

50 aussie dollars, jeez, what's that these days, 'bout 15 quid?

LMW - i need a direct transfer to a banks account. damn my eyes for not reading the payment tems on an Ebay auction. they guy only does wire tranfer to his Aussie bank account. any other ideas that aint gonna cost me a fortune (my fault i spose, but you know how Ebay is. if you want an item badly you will pay for it in the end!!)

Ah I see, just tell the awkward bugger to do it another way.

Last time I looked the Aussie dollar was worth around 40p which is the highest it has been for a while. All good for me. Keep rising I say!!! (Will make trips back to the UK a shed load easier on the pocket!!!!)

Second the comment on CHAPS transfer, tis what I'm doing here, either transferring from my UK acccount to Canadian one (and getting a nice suprise when it reaches it's destination ) also going to do it the other way, *shudder* exchange rates, *shudder*

I see no reason why Western Union wonnt convert from £££ to AUS $$$$
They will charge a handling fee anyway. Paypal is easier though, and a bit safer I think.
Does the purchase price of what you are buying include postage???
