Best Way to Pay?

[iwcforme]

About to pull the trigger on a few watches from DSN. Wondering if anyone has had bad experience with any of the payment options or other recommendation about pros and cons of the following:

1. western Union

2. moneybookers
http://www.moneybookers.com/app/

3. Moneygram

With certain dealers that require payments other that PayPal, I have always used Western Union and I have never had any kind of problem.

If you're in the US, Moneybookers is not possible anyway.

I've used Moneygram and WU without any problems. WU fee is $14 and Moneygram is $10. WU is pretty convenient for me since I can drop by the supermarket on the way home from work, pick up a few things, transfer WU money and it's ready for the dealer to pick up since it's morning their time.

used money bookers and I am in us... it is possible. best, minimial fee. requires 2-3working days to validate though (that is frustrating, but hey minimal fee)

Same for me. Can go to store and buy cheese and watch at same time, very convenient. Never been stiffed yet using WU.

Second that, Moneybookers has normaly also the best Euro/Dollar exchange rate (important for non $ native country, Paypal takes a heftiy part on the exchange rate) and hasn´t the extensive $25 and upwards fee, that WU takes here in Germany.

Is that Swiss cheese?

Just going to try Moneygram via Walmart tomorrow. Guess I can pick up some dog food at the same time! You think buying reps is expensive; try feeding 2 great danes for a week!

Let's swap feed bills: I'll buy for your 2 Great Danes, and you treat for my 2 horses!! Rep watches are soooooooooo cheap! :wink:

I just pulled the trigger on a DSN 089--which is all Takashi's fault because of his review! This is the third DSN for me and each time I've paid with a Moneygram because that proved to be the cheapest/easiest way for me here in Canada. I paid yesterday at about 2 PM and by 6 PM Davidsen sent me an enmail with the tracking number for my watch! How's that for service!

I dunno - WU socked me for a $25 charge when I bought a watch last time - that , to me is a little steep, I have paypal, been using it for years, and use it on my EBAY transactions -with 100% success, (just like my EBAY rating ) - WU, sorta pricey

The Canadian post office charges a fee of $10 for a moneygram--which was cheaper than the other methods Davidsen prefers. I'd like to use Paypal because it is the easiest, but he had his account suspended so that's a non-starter.
