Money orders, postal or through the bank, are about $7.50 I believe. I'm not see what kind of exchange rate you'll get with those, but the recipient can just deposit it in their bank account in the US.
Yeah....I think this is my best bet. I sent some money a while back through paypal, checked the "goods and services" box and the recipient was hit with the 3.9% out of country charge which was in turn passed back to me. This time I think I'll give it a try clicking the "personal" box. Hopefully there's no charge for that. I can't find anything regarding it with a quick scan on paypals site.
