icarusHiya International Friends-Who-Use-Paypal!
My dad is helping me out with my car. I suggested he use Paypal to send money rather than the complicated hoops of international money orders, wire transfers, etc.
I have a Paypal account linked to my bank account. I know that if he sends money via Paypal to my Paypal account, I just have to transfer it to my bank account.
Doesn't he just do the same? Set up a Paypal account and click the "send gift to friend/family" button?
What's your experience? How do you buy things/send money to the US?
