I need advice on buying online oversea's please?
they have emailed me back saying;
Payment we accept is bank transfer or western union.
Do you have courier freight account?
I'm all new to this...what do you think I should do? shall I ask them to set up a paypal account? Is Western Union as dodgy as people say? What is a courier fright account..is it simple & straight forward?
Any info would be great. Thankyou!!

Hi mate, I bought a camera at $375 from America some time ago the sellers also did not have a Pay Pal account. I paid using Western Union, call me a lucky one but I had no problems as they held the funds until goods were received, its a happy medium if you like. I did however have to pay duty on the package which was £37 and collect it myself from a postal agency or pay another £25 to Royal Mail for delivery, so watch out for the hidden costs.
Good luck
Tim
I'd be wary of sending money to foreign firms using Western Union.
