class=MsoPlainText>I am very surprised by this. There must be a reason why DW won't accept such a large paymemt, perhaps the issue is with Visa.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Just to put things straight - well a bit :-) As someone in the UK who has had to receive payments from US, the biggest problem has always been at the US end. Many smaller US banks simply don't want/can't be bothered/don't know how to deal with international inter-bank transfers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>It was usually a question of going back to the US bank with the correct SWIFT/IBAN number and just telling them to get on with it! I had one client who had to go to his bank four times before the bank finally go their act together.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>The bit about $-only is also untrue: I was being paid in Euro. If I want to buy something or pay a bill in France (say) all I do is do make the transfer on-line; or I call the bank in either case the transaction is completed, generally within an hour certainly within a day.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Payment in GBP isn't really surprising, after all how many US suppliers would want to accept GBP direct into their account? :-)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Paypal isn't that common here, I agree. Since HSBC is one of the largest banks in the world I would be surprised if they can't accept it. It may be that DW doesn't want to deal with it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>One of the issues with Paypal has been traceability and guarantees. From a supplier's point of view bank-to-bank transfers offer traceability and since they are (a) a guarantee by yours bank to the supplier's bank that you have the wherewithall to pay; and (b) a guarantee by your bank that the transfer will be made offer both you and (say) DW are much better for the supplier. It has a final benefit, that of traceability: the supplier can see where the payment is coming from and lets all sides deal with any issues.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Hope this is of some help,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Peter<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>On 10/03/2020 06:41, Charles Rice wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>> I ordered a head and related parts from Welch.
