Hi guys, My friend in the UK is going to order the iPhone 4 from the Apple store and use her credit card to make the payment (since they are not accepting cards issued in India) and then she'll sent it across through a colleague of hers. She has Paypal but she is a little hesitant using it given she doesn't know the fees it will charge. I wanted to send her 500GBP (for the iPhone) and want to incur the fee charges as well. So does anyone know how much will Paypal deduct it from her account once the money goes through? So for instance its a 30 quid fee, I'll just paypal her 530GBP. Another other cheaper way where I can transfer her the money? I have a ICCI bank account but not sure abt their wire transfer fee. And I think WU doesnt allow international payments from India.
The best way to order an iphone is through Amazon.co.uk, either using Amazon GC's and a credit card. If you are going to use PP, then it would cost you atleast Rs 5k - 7k approx extra, given the conversion fees
If you send 500 GBP then she'll get approx 482 to 483 GBP in her account after fee deduction IMO. DON.
