Hugh: Direct bank transfer can work, but It can cost thirty dollars or more to transfer funds. I'm not sure what you mean by minimum charge on Paypal. The Buyer is not charged any service charge, but the seller pays on a sliding scale. I've looked at my prior sales records and Paypal's charge on a $10 sale was about 7% and on a $1200 sale the commission paid to Paypal was less than 3%. When I was distributing the CD discs of the Hetchins Rally for $2.00, the payment went through, so there shouldn't be a minimum. If all else fails, send Amex Travelers checks, if there lost, if you keep the receipt, they are refundable to you.
