I've got a feeling that particular seller must have been burned badly through Paypal before. Oh well...

Like STL suggested, an International Money Order could work but will it arrive ok?

When I bought my Minty Fresh G1 Shockwave, I ended up doing a behind-the-scenes deal with the seller whereby the only means of payment he wanted was Western Union (maybe his Paypal account could have been traced through his Ebay Store - I don't know). Anyway, That was the first time I sent money through Western Union & the seller received the funds without a hitch .

If the value of your TF/s is considerable, then I'd definitely recommend using Western Union. The processing fee of $25 may seem a little steep but if you can't use Paypal or Direct Account Deposit, I'd definitely say Western Union is the way to go.
