What is the least expensive way (besides paypal) for an international buyer to send me payment? Her bank transfer fee is quite high. Is there any other option? TIA!

Bidpay and international money order. But if this is going to be the buyer's first bidpay transaction and it's for a significant amount, it may not go through (Bidpay policy, etc). And there's always Paypal, but you may have to ship to an uncofirmed address
Western Union offers an online service from the UK, the cost to send £500 is £37. They are offering a pretty paltry rate of $1.93 to the £ though.
They also seem to offer tracking.
I don't think it's possible to get an international money order in the UK.

^^^forefinal (I believe) Posted some rules for acceptable payments on ebay under another topics and google is one you CAN NOT use.
google checkout is only banned on ebay because they don't want the competition for paypal 
if a buyer wanted to use it i'd absolutely accept it, i just wouldn't state it in my auction.
how large an amount is it? if it's thousands then a wire might be the cheapest way to go (except google checkout since it's still free).

Cash is never a good idea. There's no tracking on what goes in the envelope or what comes out of it.
