Ask HN: What's a better way to send USD to GBP than PayPal?

wire transfer usually pays about ~$35 per transaction. So if 3% paypal fee is greater than wire transfer, then use wire, if not, paypal is your only choice. if you are able to save the money then do a lump sum, you can even save more vs weekly transfer.

I calculate it for you. If the amount sent is larger than US$1200 per transaction, you better of using wire transfer than paypal.

Seems like a direct bank transfer might be your best choice. At least that's the route I'm taking right now.

Bitcoins, with the added bonus that you can use them for speculation

xoom.com has been pretty good for me so far.
