Unless using PayPal, I recommend stating on your auction page that all payments MUST be in your own currency.


Most banks and payment handling companies charge exorbitant fees to convert international money orders in foreign currencies. Better to insist on receiving the currency you want in the first place and push any conversion costs onto your buyer.


Also consider cash payments, which are quite safe and legal if you use registered post.
