Anyone have recommendations?
Too bad Paypal doesn't have service to there... (or at least I didn't think so)...
Anyone have any ideas?
Trying to wire $$ to Taiwan, I think you can only wire USD over, then the bank over there converts it... Any suggestions are welcomed.

You can use PayPal to pay someone in Taiwan who has a PayPal account. PayPal does support money withdraw from bank accounts in Taiwan.I meant the person you want to pay to is able to withdraw the money from his/her bank accounts in Taiwan as long as s/he has a Paypal account.

One is it for personal or business, and two do you know the person you are sending it to? Moneygram is pretty cheap through Walmart, but you pay the fee and I believe a currency exchange fee.

Just go to the service desk or money center at walmart, fill out the money transfer form, and give to person at the desk. Since this is new to you, might want go in at 8 in the morning.

hey thx jason, i went at night after dinner...
the person behind the counter is absolutely clueless, she have no idea half the questions i asked... such as, why does the receipt shows up as $ amount in USD, but prints out on TWD.. how fast it gets transferred.. but luckily with some collaboration of another lady next to her, i think we got a tad more info...
all is well as the money is safely transferred and picked up.
yay!
Thx again all. $10 fee for my transaction, turns out $8 transfer is only good up to $200 USD.
