There is no paypal in Morocco.  Mailing checks or money orders could  
be vulnerable to theft or the recipient subject to customs taxes, if  
the Moroccan banks accept them at all.  Bank wire is the safest means  
of conducting business, but as Jim stated comes at a fee - in my case,  
$50 for transactions up to $3000, and incrementally increasing with  
the amount of funds being transferred.  More suitable for bulk lot  
purchasing than small single items.  Shipping from Morocco is another  
expense one must consider, and FedEx is not the only player - shop  
around.
