I am not sure about Italy, but in Poland wire transfer is the most popular method of payment for online auctions, surely the cheapest and easiest with online banking at both sides. Also across-the-pond transfers seem to be cheapest this way, unless seller accepts (foreign) credit cards directly. In your case all 'risk' is on the buyer, who is willing to wire you the $$ first. I do not think there is any risk giving out your bank account number. The only thing anyone can use your acc. number for is to wire you some money :) >Can't that be done in Europe as well? > Any comments from folks in the EU? Comments on some simple things that cannot be done in Europe would require much stronger language than allowed here... cheers Tomasz (just received some enablement (good) mailed from a NY photo store. $240 VAT to be paid...
