How to receive $$ from Overseas?
 

I'm in the US and someone in South Africa needs to send me a few hundred US Dollars and I was wondering what you folks recommend... No PayPal on this one, maybe wire transfer or Western Union? I don't want to deal with checks or international money orders, is there a better (safer / quicker) way to handle an overseas payment?

only western union

How about Escrow.com? Anybody have any good / bad stories about them?

It's for a domain name so I guess Western Union would be the best, that way I could have cash in my hand quick.

Escrow is pretty good. I used it for domain purchases and everything went fine.

Also, it's very good if you are a seller cause, unlike paypal, you can collect the funds even if you do not have a US bank account.

Western Union is deffinatly the way to go

Yup Western Union....... no mess no fuss :thumbsup
