I remember someone posted a link here before for a website you could use to pay for bank transfers - I've been searching endlessly to no avail.
no general bank wire transfers that some vendors offer - alertpay does not accept my credit card. unless bank transfers just means services like alertpay and such, but I always thought it was referring to real bank transfers. i remember someone here posted a link to a site that does the bank transfers online.
Usually you go to the bank's website where the funds are coming from and do it there. You can get Paypal to make a payment for you from your own bank account to a vendor. But if the Paypal refuses to work with the vendor, then you can't.
I have done two wires for large purchases of Research Chemicals. One to China and one to a unnamed US vendor. I was sent an account number by the vendor and then went to my bank and wired the money to their account. Real easy. There is a site called www.libertyreserve.com that will help you send money if you trust banks overseas.
You can do bank transfers at your bank (from your account to the recipient's account). Or xoom.com you can do them through or buy a e-currency like LibertyReserve.com or Pecunix.com and sell it to an exchanger for a bank wire to your recipient's account. That's how to do it pseudononymously.
can you do the bank transfer straight from a credit card with either xoom, libertyreserve, pecunix, or do you use xoom to do it with either libertyreserve / pecunix?
I don't know a lot about xoom. You'll have to check it out. I know some people do wires with them, that's all. You cannot do a bank wire from a credit card. If you put the credit card funds into your bank account, then you can send a bank wire transfer [aka "bank wire"; "bank transfer"; "wire transfer"] to the recipient's bank account. You can buy liberty reserve through a few exchangers with a credit card and then out-exchange for a bank wire, but that is really expensive. If you don't care about anonymity or making it hard to investigate, I would not go this route.
Yes. I used to use xoom. Now they have a damned cap on transfers to China, I'd have to break it down into a lot of little bites - so might as well use Western Union anymore as them, by my word. -1 customer, xoom.
