If you have a HSBC account (Canada, UK, Europe, Israel, Asia, and south to Australia) see if you can open an HSBC.com (US) on-line account. Try it yourself, it's all on-line, or have your HSBC customer support in your country connect you with HSBC International to go over rules and paperwork procedures.
Then you can do "Global Transfer" from HSBC US to your HSBC account in your country, for free (no fee, but there is a couple of percent currency exchange mark-up). The account also comes with a debit card.
CapitalOne360.com does not charge to receive Wires. Just the $15 CCBill charges to send. The account comes with a debit card, and earns interest. I don't have experience if non-US residents can open an account, but it is worth a try.
US citizens can open accounts in Europe, but I don't know first-hand if that works the other way around as well!
