Jacqui Too Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Just a quick hopefully easy question (sorry if its daft)I want to buy something from someone in Austria and they will take € only, Will a cheque drawn on my CA French account do?Thank you in advance [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 You had best ask them, as they may (probably will) be charged for cashing your cheque (same currency, different banking systems).Why a cheque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqui Too Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 [quote user="Nick Trollope"] Why a cheque?[/quote]It's a private person selling something for €25 , How else can I pay them? I won't send cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jako Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Use Paypal or a bank transfer (virement). The costs in Austia for cashing a French ( or UK) cheque will exceed the value of your cheque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I once did something similar (cheque) and I think the fee was 14€. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Probably cheaper to send € cash by International Special Delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegie Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 A virement, as mentioned by Jako, is the easiest way. You need the account details to pay it into including the IBAN number. There is no charge within the Eurozone.If you go into your CA branch they will give you a proforma to complete. Straightforward and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqui Too Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Thank you every one, seems the cheque is out of the question then!I will see if they will take Pay Pal, I have just used them to purchase something from USA and it was very simple and very cheap fees.
