Sending A Cheque From The Uk To Japan

[andyzplace]

bit of a sticky one here guys,

i bought an item from some dude in japan and forgot to check (pardon the near pun) that he has a paypal account.

so now i am a bit confused with how the whole sending a cheque thing is going to work.

do i send it in ($) or do i send it as the equivalent in (£)?

also, would there be a charge for me (or possibly him) to convert the cheque.

cheers in advance, andy

Doesn't it take like 5 minutes to set up a PayPal account?

And you should be able to send it in Sterling whereby they can exchange it into Yen or whatever when he get's it. But ask at your bank to be sure.

[andyzplace]

are you talking about sending a cheque or through paypal?

if cheque then isn't there a charge for converting money to your curency to put it into your bank account? :lol:

oh and he wants it in dollars.

Just send it in GBP then there bank will sort it.
