Liabilities auction in front of me does not formulated . All they send a check for the exact amount that a person should receive. So they and I in Russia could theoretically send a check , which I have attributed to the bank for a couple of months , can leave a deposit to pay for cashing service . And no state bank Sberbank , VTB, Bank of Moscow this service do not.
So I tried through SWIFT . They do not want to transfer via SWIFT, but while doing them this extra confusion , unforeseen costs time. In principle, as we have already discussed , within Europe can be transferred via IBAN, commission penny. Such brutal Commission as SWIFT transfers through a bunch of intermediary banks . Auction warned me that if I refuse to take the check , all transfer costs money I 'm paying .
For me it's not such a terrible loss , just learn , understand, as I have on.
I do the financial part of many details unclear . That painting sold at the fair in Basel. How ? Do not give the picture until the buyer does not transfer the money to a Russian bank ?
