I received this question today...
"will you take a money order from the post office?"
but the guy lives in the US and I'm worried that I'll be charged a
commission on any type of fund he sends over.
1. What's the best way to accept money from overseas
2. What type of payments should I avoid?
I have a business bank account the money will go into if that makes a
difference.

Given that it is likely he will end up sending you a money order in $US
(dumb yanks) I'd only accept Paypal if I were you.

Insist on PayPal because a money order will almost certainly be in US
dollars and incur bank charges to convert it.

Inform the sender to have his bank issue a Sterling draft which will be
drawn against a UK bank. His local Bank of Bumfuck, Idaho, might have to
arrange it via head office, but it's perfectly do-able.
