Is there any way for a shareware author to make it easier for overseas
users to register?  I've heard various figures from about $10 and up to
get a check drawn on a US bank, so it hardly makes sense to go through the
trouble and expense for a shareware program that costs < $20.

(I left this in c.s.amiga since the problem seems particularly applicable
to Amiga shareware authors, with the bulk of Amiga hardware sales in Europe.)
