A bank wire will most likely be a lot more expensive than the 2.5% credit card fee.
You could try to check out online wire services like XE.COM
I have used them ages ago for international wires, as both the costs and the exchange rate were a lot better than sending funds through my bank internationally.

Hello All
I am never surprised at the greed that's out there but Heritage does keep a pretty admirable pace in this ever wonderful state of late-capitalism. Maybe they hid this announcement in an update email that nobody reads or something but all of a sudden I cannot pay my poster invoice through Paypal. I don't use credit cards for online payments after being stung once so now I'm seemingly in quite a predicament. Oh, wait, they're also charging a 2.3% processing fee on the Visa/Mastercard use so I'd be extra insulted if I was going to choose that anyway. Soon I expect them to just list available titles of interest in text and propose we will fly down on our dime (small percentage of flight/accomodation fees to them for processing, naturally) to photograph and do a condition report for them.
I've talked to client services twice.The first rep said she thought my best bet was doing a debit card payment but my bank seems to feel that would mean setting up a separate account and, frankly, I don't want the hassle. Then the second rep said to wire the funds so I am just waiting for my bank rep to get back to me about the reality of that option and whether there are fees on my end. Does anybody out there have a good, cheap reliable method for this type of transaction between the lowly Canadian David versus the Dallas Goliath?
Any help would be appreciated. Next option is divorce from Heritage in totality and keep awaiting the revolution.
Thanks,
M
