Receiving money from abroad

Hi, could anyone tell me the best way for my cousin in Australia to pay some money to me?

I don't want for it to cost him or me any more than necessary.

thanks

    paypal could be a very good option
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

    I use international bank transfers for Euro payments into my British bank accounts. Whilst I cannot comment on costs at the Australian end, I wrote down a few comments in [thread=110659]Foreign Transfers: different banks - different exchange rates![/thread].

    The banks mentioned I mentioned in [post=1088373]post #1[/post] do not charge a fee for foreign currency receipts.
