USE VISA or some other card! I've bought several Items from US companies  
just giving my visa # to them. This works perfect. What a bank charge to  
handle a visa transaction differs. My bank charge only NOK 2.00 which in  
todays exchange rate is about 30 cents. (In Norway, you need a bank  
account to get a VISA card 

I would think though, that you somewhere might run into problems with the  
authorities if the amount of your transaction is in the order of several  
thousands of dollars.
