This depends on the banking system. Service fees for foreign cheques, or international money orders drawn on your country's bank, are including in some account services where I bank. I often order lace supplies from overseas and apart from the postage, it is like buying over the counter here - and I would have to spend money on transport to go to that counter anyway (if there was one) ;) However, it is good advice to overseas buyers of your book to buy within their country if there would be a source. I don't mean to instigate a discussion of the pro's and cons of paypal, but - lace content: With thanks to Jane Partridge who mentioned the exhibit at Charnwood Museum,in the UK I was able to purchase their exhibit catalogue. I paid by Paypal and included a small donation to the museum; it was more convenient than having to find a day to drive to the bank to buy a money order (and they didn't take Visa, which I didn't want to use anyway) the book was delivered by post within a week of my paying for it. Everyone was happy ;) And I'm looking forward to Edition 4 of Threads for Lace :) -- Bev in Sooke BC (on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
