I bought my bumper directly from Carlsson in Germany and had to wire the money from my bank account to theirs. Here is a website for converting currency: XE. Here is a translation site as well: Babelfish. 190 EUR currently converts to $224.95 USD but could change any second. I know he won't take credit cards (neither did Carlsson) and bank wiring would be the way I did it so I have a transaction record and also his bank account and routing number. Hope this helps. Good luck...

I have purchased a lot of things from German ebay. The bablefish web site works well enough but isn't alway acurate. It is the best out there for now. Paypal is starting to catch on and you can pay directly in euros too if the seller accepts it. You need to ask them. Most of the sellers want a direct wire transfer but this is expensive. You can also get forien drafts from your bank in euros. The best thing that I did that has so far worked is to transfer your dollars in to euros at the international airport or bank. It is the same as sending cash in the mail so don't do it for those high priced items. Be aware that they stiff the buyer with the ebay charges and shipping is high.
