If you use the IBAN (international Bank Account No.) and BIC (Bank
Identification Code), which you should find
on your UK bank statement, then there is NO CHARGE for receiving payment in
Euro.
However they still clobber you on exchange rate !

I've just received a 7140 today.

I'll have a play and report back.

I send the amount in UKP from my NL account online to the UK. The charge
is levied by the NL bank - so it's reasonable! I get almost the
commercial rate and it clears faster than a standard BACS transfer, 1-2
days.

There's no charge for sending euros with IBAN/BIC assuming it goes to
another euro currency account. I once sent euros to a UK bank from NL
and I got stung twice for charges, since it was cleared by 2 UK banks on
the way. Never again! Rip-off UK banks.

How does this relate to the charges levied on cards used abroad in
'hole in the wall' machines? I do know that, in this case, Nationwide
do not make a charge although they do say that a charge may be made by
the foreign bank where the cash is drawn.
IF this is similar, then, presumably, there could be a transfer made
from the UK to a foreign vendor at no charge - but is it similar or an
intirely different affair?

Never been charged extra by the ATM withdrawing money except in Canada
and that was stated when I made the withdrawal. Nationwide card is handy
I know.

Wanna send them your ATM card and PIN then? :) Unfortunately it's a
different story. As I said before I don't see why companies can't accept
Paypal. Load up your account in pounds and then transfer in euro to the
vendor.

You can also try [url]www.moneybookers.com[/url]. No experience but seen them
recommended.
