Hi Steve
I have purchased once with PBR Aug 2010, it is a little bit of a hassle but went through the local building society with a money transfer to the specified Western Union account - swift number was the unclear thing as the Aus banks require that here but the in the USA they call it something a little different. It was about $22 for Western Union and my BS all up though it was advised costs to process would be about $30, any funds left over from the payment he leaves is left as a credit for next time - so I have about $8 US sitting at his business. He had the funds in about 2-3 days which was quicker than he thought.
I did offer to use paypal and I pay his fees but he did not want anything to do with it. He packaged the gear well and I got everything that I wanted.
Hope that helps.
