    I do not know if travellers cheques would work, as my understanding is that it would require my signature to cash them in right?
    You can make a travellers cheque payable to someone. As my post above you sign both top and bottom of the cheque putting the beneficiary name in the middle - then pop it in (secured) post.

    I would write to them to say something like ‘I’ve spoken to my bank, HSBC, and they’ve informed me that they don’t have the option to pay in US dollars by check or bankers draft. I’m happy to make payment if you can offer an alternative method that can be used from the Uk. I appreciate some methods of payment do incur higher charges - but as it was your original error that we are correcting, you should bear these costs, and allow payment by credit card or Paypal. If we aren’t able to find a suitable method of payment, even though I’m happy that I repay the relevant monies, then I’m sorry I won’t be able to process the payment you require. I’m happy to discuss options, but the payment has to be made in a way that I’m able to complete easily’
