Germans haven't used checks much for 40 years. The last time I even saw a check in Germany was as a kid 20 years ago, and they were considered bizarre and antiquated even then."

Also, banking information and wiring is the way everyone moves money around in Europe, but it isn't nearly as easy to do it in the US. Let me ask my business partner what the truth is and I will get back to you.

Do you know if the Deutsche bank in Berlin issues money orders? I make handcrafted fishing lures and have a customer near Berlin whose telling me the closes bank that does is 100km away and that he's not driving that far. He is trying his best to get me to send him my bank information and use PayPal which I will not do! He is located about 12 miles west of Berlin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
