Wire Transfer.?

Question

I want to setup a Wire Transfer at

http://rapidshare.com/en/premium.html

How safe is a Wire Transfer? Is there anyway they can take more money from me? I don't know anything about a Wire Transfer I know I go to my bank and probably speak with someone and then I ok the Transfer right? Can the company take money money from my account even if I do not setup any more transfers?

I know the company could take my money and not give me an account etc but I am ok with that its only like $30-$100 and not thousands. Also sense the money is not in my currency I am Canadian can I still complete the transfer at my local bank?

Thanks for the info if theres anything else you want to tell me go ahead.

So I think my main question is Am I giving away any info that could let other people freely take money from my account kinda like a credit card number in a way. A my second question is how to go about setting up the Transfer?

know I apply at the site then I write down or print the info and bring it to the bank. Any other steps I need to take or anything else I need to know?

Answer 1

Their website says they take payments through paypal - why don't you just do it that way? You can set up a paypal account easily if you don't already have one. Paying through paypal is safe, they won't be able to take more out of your account that you authorize, and it won't cost you anything - a wire transfer will.

Banks, or paypal, can handle the currency conversion without a problem.
