Mais celles-ci s'adressent surtout aux acheteurs non européens.
Hello,
my faith not to send anything except good news failed once againAs many of you realized, US citizens (and maybe some others -- Canada?) for some unknown reason can't use MoneyBookers for sending money. It's possible only via some obscure way when I'm ebay seller and/or registered partner on their "shopping" tab, i.e. nothing I could pass (because ebay does not allow pre-sales and our web form is not definitely eshop of any kind).
OK, so that ruled out US guys in the pretty same way as with Paypal. I was investigating a possibility to use that US Postal Money Order but it seems quite impossible on both sides (USPS website contain only a very few international countries where is possible to send money to and my bank has got no knowledge of anything like that). After look on the website of Slovakian post office, there was only one mention about international money transfer and that was -- Western Union.
I fear, this is my final station, I can do nothing more, if you can't / don't want to use money bookers, only two options left: bank transfer and western union what is pretty much same in fact. WU website says transfer from California to Slovakia is $22, so you have to check what's cheaper, if bank or WU (I'd say WU but you never know).
Speaking of WU, I'm aware of the fact you US guys are quite mistrustful about it and I can't blame you, I've heard about many scams with WU and Eastern Europe involved
===== Important part =====
So if you are OK with Western Union or bank transfer (hint: if you can, join your payments with some other atari friend(s) -- you can significantly lower that WU/bank fees):
- login into our system and choose "bank transfer"
- this will show you my full address and bank account information (I'm afraid Western Union does not allow bank transfer in Slovakia so you just tell them my address)
- go to western union agent or use website to send me the sum you see in our web form
- ensure I'm going to receive that sum and not the sum minus WU/bank fee !!! (WU website even offers such options: 1) send XXX Euros 2) make recipient receive XXX Euros)
- wait for acknowledge from my side (WU says the money should be transferred within 10 minutes, since I must to go to WU agent personally each time, I assume I'm going to check it once per week)
==========================
As I say, this is really the final step about the payment receiving from our side, believe me, I explored probably all possibilities which are in my power. Even when I appreciate every your idea how to get out of this, believe me, Google Checkout, eBay, another guy's PayPal account etc etc can't help us for very serious reasons.
If you would like to be keep posted as soon as possible, keep your eye on
http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=16112 (Atari Forum thread about UltraSatan payments), sometime I post there some information before I send "official" email). But it's optional, of course, I always send emails about important things.
So once again, sorry for the troubles, I appreciate all the support and patience from your side, it gives us an energy to keep our word to give you the best possible storage device for Atari ST/TT available!
