Transfer money to Korea

can anybody recommend a way to get cash into a bank account in Korea? I have bought some things from the internet from a korean company, and im not sure how to pay them. I have their bank account details to deposit into, but the only way i can come up with is with my bank to do it and they will charge me 30 quid.
I tried 1 company called xoom, but they just emailed me saying they were refunding my money, but didnt say why.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Xoom most likely think your are possible being scammed you could try western union otherwise bank transfer is your best bet although im surprised the company wont accept debit/credit card.0

Will they take a payment via Paypal?
I have to transfer around £100 to Japan on an annual basis. The first time I tried using bank transfer and encountered this £30 charge which my bank would also have levied. In the end the person I was transferring to signed up for a Paypal account and I sent it that way. You get a poor exchange rate with Paypal but it's much more cost effective than bank transfer for relatively low amounts.0
