I actually just concluded a deal like this.
What can happen in some countries is: your
buyer will go to his/her post office, pay
that post office the required amount. That
post office will then wire the said amount
to a "clearing house"/post office in the
south (US) who then issues a greenback postal
money order and then sends that to you. It will
be sent to you in a US Post Office issued envelope.
While you will not be charged when you cash it, your
buyer will have to pay an extra $6-$8 dollars US as a service fee (just like we pay $3 for an International
money order.
You might want to have your buyer check out the specific
fee at his/her post office ahead of time--that way
the buyer won't get cranky with you over the fee.
If you would like more details, let me know.
Hope that helps! |
