IBAN

[cecilia]

One person living in Europe is interested in buying my CD but he doesn't want to use PayPal. He asked me about IBAN and with a bit of research I find that the US doesn't participate with IBAN.

So, my question is, how in the hell do people pay for something that is being shipped from the US??

And, don't say "cash" because I just don't want somebody losing their money that way.    ;-)

he doesn't have a credit card

thanks for the suggests folks.

this person is from Finland, btw. naturally, I have no clue as what is availble in that country. According to him he has no Western Union.

it appears that SWIFT may be a potential solution as my bank seems to have SWIFT numbers - at least for some branches.

I'll report on the progress so that others having the same issue will have the benefit of my experience.

Thanks for the help, folks!

SWIFT worked just fine!

I made another customer happy (not to mention myself)  :lol:

Tell, your friends! :banana:

just curious, did he tell you how much comission he payed for swift ?

no, I didn't ask. But maybe it depends on the bank you use.

I'll ask around and see what i can find.
