They tell me "delivery is impossible"\nFor example, \nSay I trade USD for JPY and want to buy some EUR with my JPY - well hell I can't do that - I have to sell my JPY back for USD and buy the EUR with USD\n\n        That makes me mad and angry as I could make a killing if I didn't have to trade back to my baseline currency before making another trade.

It depends on your broker and what he does with your positions.  This is probably something you should have discussed before creating the account.\n\nI think Hotspot and the CME do it correctly.  I'm not sure about the middleman exchanges.

Yes! I experienced the same thing. I am on a fixed income and the amount that it took for me to try to go in to it was alot that I shouldn't have tried. I called them the same day and said I would like to have my money back, and I got the answer that it wasn't refundable, at cash flow direct.

You are talking about BLACK BOX SYSTEMS. They DO NOT WORK.\n\nIf you really want to be successful in forex trading, you must learn how to do it yourself. There is not one true way of trading. If there was a magic box that would just make money automatically then that box would essentially be worth infinite dollars right?\n\n\nPlease read:\n\nForex: Beware of Frauds\nhttp://www.forextradinghq.com/forex-information/forex-resources/forex-trading-information-beware-of-frauds.html

Trading currency means borrowing in currency X and converting it into currency Y in the hope that currency Y will appreciate against currency X.  When you are ready to close your trade, you convert back from currency Y to currency X.  If Y has appreciated against X, you make a profit.  \n\nNowadays currency trading has been made very easy.  You just have to decide whether you want to buy or sell a particular pair of currency.  For example, if you buy EUR/USD at 1.30, you gain if the rate goes up and lose if it goes down.

To receive money, there's a charge for business and premier accounts (for US users).  There's also a 2.5% fee when different currencies are involved, for example changing euros to dollars (or vice versa).

i too have been done by the almighty ebay, unfortunately for them i have been in touch with national newspaper and friend who's a trading standards officer, ebay in uk is in for a very nasty shock within the next month or so, i prewarn all people who make a fulltime living on ebay, start searching for new premises as ebay is about to be served by trading standards governing body and will be made to halt all activities until it gets a better vetting system for illegal sales, from porn,bootleg gear and illegal substances.

It's definitely legal. It's called the ForEx market and there are scams on TV trying to sell programs that supposedly tell you when to buy and sell various currencies. Anyway, it's probably the riskiest market possible for trading. Also, you lose lots of the money in comissions, etc, so you're probably better off just buying a bond.

Hello: I already sent you the money, I paid you this money from my paypal address, I didn't buy that coin it was my partner and I made the payment, he was the one that bounced (booted, kicked out, threw out, rejected) you, not me.  I pay for the purchases since he does not have a paypal account.  Cheers.\n\nNote: moneda can refer to both currency and an actual coin.  I'm guessing that this was regarding the sale of a coin, and that's why I've translated moneda as coin in one place and money in another.  Am I right in my assumption?

Your bank will do it slowly\nA currency exchange will do it (at the airport)\nWestern Union will probably issue you an international money order

Call around to various banks and ask rather than just showing up. Call the one you use and have an account with first. I'm not sure what they will do now that Germany uses the Euro. When you call a bank (preferrably a big bank), ask for the International or foreign currency exchange dept. I hope you get a good exchange rate! Good Luck!

I just bought something in Australia on EBay through paypal.  NOOOO problem.  They do all the converting work for you and simply charge you in your local currency.  Isn't that a kick?

Scottrade does not do that (its so lame!) You have to either go there, or mail something to them. They are much better than sharebuilder though.

That's bogus.  I suspect that salesman is not properly informed of the options that are available.  If that is the only way to buy things there, I personally would not shop at that store unless the total price plus the interest is somehow still lower than the price you could get at another store.

The Japanese only understand trade.  A worldwide trade embargo against Japanese products and financial interests would do the trick. Hit 'em where it really hurts, their bank accounts.

Did you change a password on the account recently? Money has been known for missing things every once in a while, and sometimes I just have to go to Ameritrade site and download the activity manually.

There are people who make their living with just that very theory. They speculate which currencies will rise and fall against which other currencies, and buy or sell in advance. There really is no way for a layman to tell, even the "experts" rarely agree. \nThe only advice I can give is to look up the performance of the Pound over the last year or so and compare it to today's rate. If it is near the yearly high, then wait a little. If it is near the bottom or about average then go ahead and buy now. \nRemember, this is by no means expert advice I am giving. I have traveled extensively and exchanged numerous currencies over the years, so this is just a good educated guess. \nGood luck and happy travels.
