hotwire 352 Report post Posted September 16, 2010 Seriously - I would go for Paypal, fees are cheaper & is a widely used & reputable site. I have recently had to use WU for a few transactions with one person - I find it a pain in the arse to use. TT is also a pain for filling out details Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fees - 3 -4% from memory Will load to your credit card that you have loaded in your account I would imagine - reverse of paying Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) In your PayPal account, setup the seller section so you'll be linking up your NZ bank account details in your profile. Then when you want to withdraw the PayPal balance into your NZ bank account, let them know and they will TT it into your account. Depends on what currency in your PayPal account is holding, there is some conversion charge/fees involved to the tone of few percents. To receive TT, you'll need to give the buyer your bAnk account number and your bank's swift code (ask your bank for this). I believe there are fees at both ends (I.e. to send and to receive), which in NZ is around $10 Edited September 16, 2010 by my_e36 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
