How to perform a wire-transfer?

[PPC_Problem]

When I search Google on how to do a wire-transfer... The results showed PayPal.  But, I can't seem to find how to perform a wire-transfer using PayPal.  Help?

[Quandary · Accepted solution]

That's not an option with PayPal - PayPal's system is based on email addresses.  Basically a wire transfer can be made from one bank account to another bank account or through a transfer of cash at a cash office.  PayPal's electronic transfer process is based on a person to person transaction within the PayPal system - in other words, you must have or open a PayPal account to send and/or receive funds.

[Whac-A-Mole]

some overseas money transfer via Paypal is indeed done as wiretransfer,but rare and expensive,I recall seeing Paypal charging wiretransfer fee for a payment to Vietnam.

But if you want the real wiretranfer,you have to go to your bank and be nice to their intl dept ,give them all they need plus a fee.

or you do this yourself online if your bank has online banking,saving you some money
