Receiving payment from the Maldives

I am not too sure if this is the best topic to put this in.
I have a friend who lives in the Maldives and wants me to post off a copy of Football Manager 2009, when it's released on Friday. He will pay be back for it. It's very difficult for them to get FM as it's not a popular game there.
Does anyone know what is the best method of payment for him to pay me? I am looking what's cheapest - buying it from the internet and having it sent directly to him or I receive it and send it myself.

is paypal available in the Maldives?
Send as a "gift" fron a non-credit-card funding source and no charges incurred.
regarding where it should be sent diurect to him from the merchant or whether you should act as an intermediary will depend on a number of factors ... including Merchant shipping fees and whether they will send to an address that is not the payee's address. Customs could also play a part I guess.
Probably easier to get it yourself then forward it on - again marking any customs declaration as a low value gift0 -
either try and order it using his cc to your address or paypal the payment to you??? paypal fees shouldnt be that much.0

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.
