    Have him send you a real paper international cashier's check made payable in US Dollars.

    That way any exchange rate nonsense is already done on his end, and it won't cost you any $50 fees like a wire transfer.

    It can't be reversed like paypal.

    It will take a month to clear your bank, but there is nothing safer.

    Make sure all this trouble is worth the amount of goods you are selling.

    Collect 20% more for shipping than it should be, because it's somehow always more than the online estimators say it is.

    I just had a guy from Germany do it.

    It was a "Citi" brand international money order made out in USD

    He said it was MUCH cheaper than Westernunion
