Carlos, Thanks for this well-written rundown on wire transfers. We often ask for wires for important or expensive transactions.
Paypal is all well and good, but a buyer charging an expensive item on paypal is totally in the driver's seat. The seller had better hope the buyer's honest - and most are - because there is little recourse for the seller if something goes south.
