Thanks to all for the comments on the Eurocheques - it was actually a german customer buying some CF adapters!!
We have solved it - he is paying by money transfer direct into my bank account using my international bank account number (didn't know there was such a thing, but there you go!! Just shows what a call to the bank branch can bring) this apparently is completely charge free as it is all electronic. cheers, Darren Branagh, Bank of Ireland - Cards And Loans Business, Nassau House, 33/35 Nassau Street, Dublin 2.
