bank transfer

[Rusty]

...and another thread heads south...

As ever, the information presented is well meaning but it's the straight talking that brings out the best in people

prj's musings are indeed the reason why most people on here haven't jumped in to help; a fact that's sad but true and is a reflection of how cautious people are nowadays. I've helped a few members out on here and had the same courtesy paid back but usually with people who I've dealt with before. When dealing with those on mainland Europe, it's well worth looking into what methods of payment are available, as I've been caught out by this before In that instance, it all worked out OK. Those in Germany seem especially keen on bank transfer as a payment method.

It sounds like the OP has had 2 options present themselves, which is nice.

No one was doubting the integrity of your friend, its just when you read a post like that without knowing who it is alarm bells ring if they did not then your a fool.
Lots of people can vouch for me, but could you varia? Of coarse not you don't know me.
If we know were honest sometimes we take it forgranted and word things without think how others may read into it, there are alot of dishonest people out there to scam you.
Paypal only protects the buyer. If your the seller your screwed.
Its good audicoupeparts has come up with a solution because if this is a regular thing he does not want the hassel of requesting help each time he buys something from Europe I know I would'nt.
Its not just where Prj lives its the world over unfortunatly.

I can only vouch for AudiCoupeParts as far as purchasing parts from him online....Never met the guy, but seems like good people.

It's unfortunate that we, as an Audi enthusiast community, have to have our shields up regarding the international transactions/purchases that are necessary to support our passions. I, for one, would be happy to help out any of you blokes in a jam if needed.

Yes, there are a great deal of the stereotypical 'Ugly Americans' that proliferate the media and are indeed embarrassing, but I hope you guys understand that they in no way represent the lot of us.

I shall now retreat off my soapbox

Thanks
