Unfortunately the bank is your best bet but as you say the price is too much, i use to get international money orders all the time and send them off to the states but they charge a minimum £7.00 to transfer it for you, so i started to send cash registered as still cheaper untill i got paypal now i only use that.

How much do the Bank's charge you for an International Money Order....just curious.

I recently sold some stuff to someone in the UK and I was paid with an International Money Order, is it difficult to get Money Orders in the UK?

I was told that its difficult or impossible to buy International Money Orders in Germany.....anyone know if this is true?

Wow £22!!
Can you not do a bank to bank transfer, these carry a set fee of £8 (I think) or they do with my bank (LLoyds TSB). :)

You may have to pay another small fee at the other end when the payee collects the money. :)
