    Hello,

    I want to share something with you.
    This week I have been selling stuff inside the EU. 1 Person complained that his bank was charging hin around 23 euro.
    I looked it up in my bank and guess, .. is cost for private persons € 0,00 within the EU.
    The law about this is EC 2560/2001. Just type in "EC 2560/2001" in google and you can see
    www.ecb.int/pub/pdf/TransformationEuropeanfinancialsystem.pdf on page 45
    "This price regulation applies the principle of equal charges for electronic payment transactions, whether they are within-
    border or cross-border "

    For privat persons the money transfer between EU countries must be the same as inside a country of the EU.

    So you can transfer money to a seller and it won't cost you nothing less or more than in your own country.
    Bank who tell otherwise are not correct!

    So no need fo paypal

    From: aGaS & CUAZ Al...
    In Spain (we are in Africa, you know :-/ )
    Banco Santander charges you 22€ for a transfer inside the EU.
    I complained a lot but I didn't get my money back... and that's the minimum they charge. I bought a Concierto module for my PicassoIV for around 60€ and that was what I had to pay to the bank to make the transfer.

    Recently I have bought a Prometheus using paypal and I still have to check how much these bunch of robbers have charged me.
