Western Union ... Agggh.

Someone sent me a Western Union money order, the paper form (they 
purchased from a 7/11 store in the US), not the electronic 10 digit 
number variety. No-one in Australia can use it outside of a 4 week 
verification process and having to turn up in person at a bank, and pay 
a commission too!

This is the 21st Century - Dinosaurs like Western Union will die!

PayPal - now there's another dinosaur waiting to die unless they realise 
the world doesn't pivot on the US $. My real PayPal costs, after they 
give me a shithouse exchange rate to AU$ and after they charge me a 
cross border transaction fee (what bullshit!), is at least twice the fee 
they advertise (6 to 7%).

Credit cards - don't get me started ....
