australian money problem

HELLO, THIS IS GARY K.
I BOUGHT A MAGAZINE FROM A GUY IN PEAKHURST, NSW, AUSTRALIA.....
HE SAID TO SEND CASH I MUST ADD $15. US BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT COSTS TO CONVERT US CASH TO HIS MONEY.....
THE ITEM I BOUGHT COSTS $7.29 AUS. INCLUDING SHIPPING......DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT?.....AND....
IS ANYONE FROM THAT AREA COMING TO AUBURN INDIANA MEET WHO CAN SEND HIM CASH AUS. AND GET MY US FUNDS FROM ME AT AUBURN....IT IS SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT I CAN NOT SEE PAYING TRIPLE WHEN THE ACTUAL MAGAZINE WAS ONLY $1.49...ANY IDEAS.??????

Hello Gary,
try to buy some AUS $ at the money exchange at any airport or foreign exchange outlet.
You should be able to get a few note there.

Re: australian money problem

Hi Gary
Being from the UK I ship from aus and the US and find the easiest way for small ammounts is to get the $ australian this case from the bank or money exchange , saves all the wondering if its right or not . Have to say I have never had any problems.

Re: australian money problem

Gary - you are being conned by an Smart Ass Aussie. Both Australia and New Zealand accept US Dollar notes without question and pay up to 20% over the face value. Send that joker US$7 IN CASH and he will be making more than his selling / shipping price. That is if you can trust him to on ship the goods. Best of luck Graham
