You can send her money through "western Union" (available at most travel agents) and all she has to do is take I.D & go collect it from her post office.\n\nYou could send her travellers cheques that many places accept as cash (you can buy them in dollars).\n\nYou can just send her some money through the post (I'd recommend sending it as a sign when accepted secure post)

Transfering money from anywhere is not a problem.  You can physically send the currency, get a cashiers check or money order, or electronically wire from one account to another.  You could even purchase some goods like gold/jewels and send those (with shipping insurance!) Credit cards have nothing to do with transferring money - unless you use them to get a cash advance (which some lines of credit allow).

If youare worried, do not send your item until the payment has cleared and you have cash in hand.\n\nIn the future you can restrict bidding to your country only.

British Pounds Sterling is the currency of Great Britain, but in London now, you can also use Euros in many shops to buy stuff. Euros are probably not the kind of currency you can use for things like pubs, clubs, taxis and trains. Its mainly retail shops that allow purchases with Euros.\n\nIn addition, in some shops you can also use dollars but these are rare. Harrods for example, gives you the option to pay in US Dollars.

Some US banks have international departments that will do it for you. The easiest way is to stop at a Bureau de Change in the Barcelona airport. You give them American dollars, they give you Euros or whatever currency you want.

yes i'll sent you some money.  To make this transaction safe, I'll transfer your money directly to your bank account.  Please send me your banking and personnal information so I can't start sending you the money.

Check your local bank, especially larger main branch banks.  They often have the ability to order foreign currency for clients of the bank and can often exchange it.

There's no law saying you can't accept payments for your partner. Even eBay does not have anything that says a third party cannot accept payment. It is more between you and your partner.\n\nThe main concern I have is how to explain to buyers that cheque or money order payment (if paypal, they won't know your address as it is simply email) are sent to NY but they have to wait 3 weeks or so for the item because it comes from Uzbekistan. That's the only thing I see that you need to work out.

use paypal. they'll convert it for you, and take it right from her/his checking/banking account and put it in your checking/banking account. just you and him/her both need an account, which is super easy to get.

None. You can use Western Union or just a bank transfer. What the Government is interested in is that you earned it legitimately and not that you used illegal means such as drugs.

Yes it is.  All countries in the EU have similar identification requirements, although the forms you have to sign will be slightly different.  They cannot refuse you a bank account just because you're from the UK.

no matter what currency..See what your country's currency equals in the UK. Is going to be enought to cover what you want or are u just depleting an account or just transferring money for whatever reason...I would say have the transfer made in UK currency..Otherwise you would have to convert it to use it...let them do it and now you know exactly how much UK money u have..Just a suggestion...Good Luck
