Dealing with AUS Customers From US? -- Need Feedback

[MaskedArmory]

Hey all.

When dealing with a low-rep user that is based out of Australia, how do you handle payment?

I am not one for Paypal unless I can ship something to him. If Paypal is the only way that is cheap (the WU and Bank Transfer fees are insane for international from what I understand), I am thinking of having a friend mail him the information as my friend lives in Australia.

Any other payment methods that I am missing?

Thanks.

Also, does opening/closing a dispute with Paypal keep the buyer from being able to do a chargeback?

Buyer will still be able to do an unauthorized payment chargeback.

The Western Union fee for a money transfer Aus > Usa is around 50-70$ for an average 400-500$ account.

They can still call their bank/CC company.

Easiest way would be to have them do a direct deposit into your friends bank account and have him Paypal the money to you.</span></span>
