Paying invoices from abroad.

Questions:

"I received the item in good shape. I will send you cash (US$125) instead of the bank draft?"

"Am I correct that I can send US dollars
($132.45) to cover payment and thus avoid NOK 300
bank charge?"

Answer: 

Invoices of minor amounts issued to customers living abroad are
often a problem because the bank/transfer expenses are proportionally unreasonable to the total. Very often we are asked to receive banknotes instead, but this turns out accordingly unprofitable on our hand.

The exchange rate offered by our customer is commonly 5-20 % higher than our banks rate for crediting our account. The multiple handling of the invoice, calculating currency before and after visiting the bank, asking for the deficit or depreciating it is troublesome.

We are clearing the entire auction in NOK. Norwegian banks are deducting bank charges. Our concern is the amount credited our account in NOK in order to avoid losses.
 
We therefore would appreciate the invoice to be cleared by ordinary fund-transfer using this bank details:

Question:
I would like to renew my auction catalogue subscription.
Can I do so by sending bank notes?

Answer:
Yes. Amounts this small would completely disappear
after the handling by greedy banks. You are welcome to submit USD, Euro, DKK and SEK in banknotes. You will receive a receipt when your payment arrives.
The subscription fees are to be found here.

Question:
"My international payment order went wrong.
Because it is a small amount would you please be so kind to charge my Mastercard. (of course I will pay the extra costs)"

Answer:
