Re: [MOPO] Bidpay

[Offaleater]

I just used a site called-

www.moneybookers.com/

you can upload $$ from your bank account and send like paypal direct to the
seller account. The seller i used it for is in China, so should be available
to most countries.

No fee to put $$ into your buyer account, and spend when you need, the
commission is I assume in the sellers account.

fast and easy (although it takes a few days for the money from your bank to
reach your online account)
