it's normally take 1-2 days arrived to your account. depending which national bank buyer used with. just make sure post items out after money received.
PayPal, use gift / others, and let buyer pay the PayPal fee, so seller must state the NET figure, you may do this if you are an individual. for a company, usually there is share on the PayPal fees, or seller will mark up due to PayPal fees. this way you need to give your email linked to your PayPal ac. and confirm the address to be sure, before everything else. need to pack nicely so your items are protected, it is going to travel far away - need to keep that in mind. take a photo after you packed them and before post them. so there is proof.
I was one of those buyers (from Canada) and yes, I'd much rather do Paypal, it's just you stated bank transfer only. Paypal gives us both a bit of protection. I'm scared $#!$% transfering that much money to a random bank account and just hoping it gets mailed! Also having address/phone is also a help on my end to verify you are who you say you are. I was going to ask for a picture of your id with address on it for my own comfort so I know it's legit to at least some extent. But ya, setup a paypal account, the only thing I hate about them is the huge margin they take on currency transactions.. I'm getting so sick of ebay/paypal! I can't believe there are no other real viable options yet. Up here in Canada we also have Interac money transfer between banks that you can do online, it works well, but I guess not avail in AUS. Anyhow still interested, but I also posted about a 1oz gold proof dragon I'd like to trade for (or sell if anyone's interested) I'd give priority to that to save on those crazy paypal rates, but still willing to do otherwise.

Normally, when my oldman need to shuffle funds from overseas, the bank will need the 'Recipient Bank' address and the account details plus the bank SWIFT code as well (easily found in google). Never ask for the account holder's home or email address. Hope that helps.
I did a transfer of monies with a member in Aus and my bank (Bank of Scotland) needed all of the above ^^^ The transaction was smooth apart fromt the fact that I pay a fee of about 20 to cover the transaction AND the recipient's bank ALSO charged them a fee (which they automatically deducted from the amount I had transfered to them) just to accept the funds into their account!!! I now use Paypal and have had no problems with this so far. I think it's a bit much to expect a member to give out a home address (most on here use PO Boxes for mailing anyway) and a telephone number. If you are worried about whether items have actually been sent then ask the seller to send by 'International Signed For' which gives you a tracking number or at least a pic of a 'Proof of Posting' slip.
Major alarmbells. Drop it like it's hot. NEVER do this. Untraceable, and scammers favorite. I'm not suggesting anything about Ozi though
I sold a proof Dragon to a bloke in Malaysia ,all my details were needed Home addy , Cost him $6 for the transfer & it arrived in my account in 24 hours
To get around the fees I just get a International Bank Draft (Bank Cheque) made payable on that countries bank/s and mail it off, it may be a bit slower but you save money in bank fees both ends and never a problem..............
Sure, traceable as filling in a form and showing ID at pick up. There is no verification. Its been around for ages and popular with countries associated with scammers. They have it all over Western Union. Not being a scammer myself I dont know all the tricks. I wouldn't use it unless I was sending to family in an emergency. Dan
Yes if you are doing a international bank transfer then you need to provide this, but as others suggested paypal might be a better idea.
