Hi all, i am trying to help my girlfriend out. Her parents are living in Poland and want to send her some money towards a new car. her father has been to his bank and wanted to know the rate to transfer £1000 to her hsbc account here in the uk. he was told that he would have to pay approximately £200 of that £1000 in fees to be able to do this. I could not believe my ears when she told me. This is just disgusting greed by the banks......no surprises there. Has anyone on here used paypal to do this. I have only done a little ebaying myself and never bought from outside the uk, so not too sure what the rules and fees are. if anyone can help shed any light on this then please post on here as i need to solve this asap. thanks.
