besides western union, what is a safe way to receive money from an international buyer? i would prefer to not reveal my bank account number. is there a method where i don't have to worry about a chargeback being filed?

I would only use paypal.

I just had an int'l buyer pay me with an echeck via Paypal. Your fee will only be 5.00! and no chargeback, they can file a dispute but if they lose no threat of chargeback. Also go into your Paypal account and make sure you require exchange fees to be paid by the buyer otherwise you will be charged in addition to all other fees. I just talked at lenght with Paypal about this and they said echeck was the cheapest way to go, I was receiving 2k into my personal account). It just takes a week to clear.
Cheers,

How do you make sure to have the buyer pay the exchange fee on PayPal ?

what other methods of payment would you guys suggest besides Paypal? Can you do a bank wire transfer internationally? Or would a postal money order be better?
