Has anyone either sent or received money in Canada from books using **. There are several books I'd like to fund but my CC won't work with them they don't take moneybookers so I'm looking for a way to fund. I see people from the states using ** a lot but when I went on line to sent to say costa rica it says canadian dollars or local currency. So I can't preselect US$. If anyone in Canada has used this method I"d like to know how well it works.

Thanks

You can bring cash to any Canadian ** office and send it that way. You will get screwed on the exchange rate 4 or 5 points, but most books will reimburse the fees for sending.

Exchange rate is a killer. I wont use ** and **.

Books will give you bullshit about coverng all fees, they will not cover what you lose on the exchange rate.

Remember you lose twice once when depositing once when withdrawing.

I suspect a lot of people who use these options arent aware of how much they lose

How often do you use ** or **'s Baus?

[BAUS]

Only when it is the only option available. As a last resort basically.

** takes a nice little cut on exchanging cash from USD to CDN.

Does your book accept **********? It's only for Canadian banks, like *************** and ***************.

Thanks everyone. I went to a ** office and they will NOT send US$ to costa rica. Only CND or coronas (sp) which is the local currency. I'm not sure what a book would do with the CND$ for a US$ account.

Have used ** option from Canada,both in and out. you are not usually sending to CR but peru or other country.
do multiple deposits if you want over a dime.
never had a problem sending usd.

I have used both ** and ** from Canada many, many times. Often it's the only way.

As for currency, there are some tricks with different books. Like BetAtlas has been known to give a Costa Rica receiver for ** - and they get very confused (even belligerent) if you don't send U.S. dollars - yet, as has been pointed out, ** won't send U.S. dollars to CR.

But try to explain that to some of the clerks there.

There are ways around it.

Don't hesitate to drop me a PM if ever want to discuss specifics of stuff like this 20Four7. I missed your thread here when it was originally posted but I do check PM's every couple of days.
