<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3996356, member: 56859&quot;]Like several others, I use Transferwise exclusively now for non-USD transactions.&nbsp; Setting it up was a little confusing and time-consuming but once done it is simple to use.</p><p><br /></p><p>Related:</p><p><br /></p><p>I never will forget when I bid and won in a Nomos auction (2014) without first checking the accepted methods of payment.&nbsp; As it happened, I had to wire the money.&nbsp; My bank in the Virgin Islands charged $50 for the wire!&nbsp; If a coin costs thousands of dollars or more that&#039;s not a big deal, but with lesser coins it is a significant percent of expense.&nbsp; I think the auction house also charged a fee to accept the wire.&nbsp; &nbsp; I bid too much for the coin in the first place.&nbsp; By the time the buyer&#039;s premium was added, plus solo shipping, plus exchange rate, plus wiring fees... it became an unexpectedly expensive coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Those memories have a negative impact on my enjoyment of the coin.&nbsp; My fault though-- should have thoroughly understood the terms and procedures before participating in that auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
