[HG] Paypal in Europe: off-topic, but HG related

[Arle Lommel]

Hi all,

Does anyone on the list in Europe use PayPal to receive funds from  
customers? I need to send some money to an individual in Hungary and  
I have not used PayPal internationally before. He needs to get a  
PayPal account, but can anyone tell me if there are any hidden  
worries or issues with using PayPal to move funds from the U.S. to  
European countries? On paper it looks like the cheapest payment  
solution by far. A bank transfer will have charges of $60 minimum  
(perhaps more: my bank couldn't even say for sure), which in this  
case makes moving funds pointless, while PayPal would require  
something along the lines of $5 for the same amount. My only worry  
without experience in this particular situation is that there are  
issues I don't know about.

Anyone with any suggestions? I'm sure this would be relevant to any  
of the European makers if they wanted to accept PayPal.

Thanks,

Arle
