Failing that there's international money order, but I'm not sure where you'd get one from.

Western Union seems to be your only choice.

How do they make their money? I want to only pay $100

I think any way you do this, you're going to pay a fee. I think the cost is somewhere between $5 and $10, if I remember correctly from solving this same problem going the other way across the Atlantic. Never thought the cheapest place to buy a laptop motherboard would be the UK, did you?

Yep. Built this whole PC (Top end of mid range at the time) 300 or something

America from Britain eh?<br><br>Well, if the reason you can't send cash is because you / the payer is worried about safety, then read this, see if it helps.<br><br><a href='http://www10.brinkster.com/ankaris/ozyhelpfile.txt' target='_blank'>Small File For You</a><br><br>If the reason is because the people you're paying won't accept cash... I'm stumped, sorry <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Didn't even think about this, but is there such a thing as a "postal money order" on your side of the pond?

Yeah, theres a postal order here but I dont know if i can send dollars with it.<br><br>Thanks Anarkis, btw, but it screams <br><b>HTTP1.1 STATUS 403 Remote Access to this object forbidden This file cannot be directly accessed from a remote site, but must be linked through the Brinkster Member's site.</b><br>at me.

Ozymandias... whenever a link does that to you, try copying the URL for it and pasting it in the address bar of a new window. You might have better luck.<br><br>Right click, "Copy Link Location", Ctrl+N (for new window), select the entire contents of the address bar, Ctrl-V (paste), and [Enter]

ok im stupid but i know how to paste a link <!--emo&-_---><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /sleep.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sleep.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>Thanks for the advice, tho, it worked! I might try that, its probably quicker than paypal, and I e-mailed the person, explained, and they said that there was no rush.

I figured you knew how to do it, but then I couldn't tell for sure if you did it. I've known many people to have a knack for overlooking the obvious, and I'm sure the instructions are helping SOMEONE out there. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I understand m8 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>actually I'm surprised (and respect to u all for this) that nobody's asked what I'm buying yet.
