[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 7444385, member: 46237"]I've used Transferwise before, but any bank wire from the US abroad is a hassle. I prefer to use PayPal, and then I specify to be billed in foreign currency and on the transaction I check off that my credit card should handle the currency exchange ([B]PayPal's currency exchange fees are a solid rip off[/B]). Several years back though I found a broker in Budapest that I started using for all my international transactions. While I pay a percentage fee on each transaction, I also save a great deal on other fees and shipping. They have also been able to inspect lots for me in person and save me from making some mistakes, and are also able to locate and purchase coins for me that are not listed online or for which international shipping is not offered. For anyone that makes a lot of international purchases or bids on international auctions, I highly recommend using a broker to do so.[/QUOTE]
