i know for a fact that the bank transfer from the US to indonesia costs around $35. (from Citibank in the US, to BII here in Bali)
the US bank charges $20 for international transfers, and then the bank here charges another $15 to process it.
however each country, and even every bank has a slightly different rate/charge.
what you want to make CRYSTAL clear with your bank when you do the transfer is that you want to take ALL charges as the sender, also the fee on the other end. otherwise you risk that the seller (Bikers in this case) don't receive the full amount, lets say you bought $400 worth of goods, but they get $385 clean. then they might be fussy and ask you to send the remaining $15!! which would be crazy, since you would have to pay more for the transfer fees, than the actual money you are transferring, lol...
