International bank transfer (wire transfer) is the standard for international transactions for decades. Either with or without a Letter of Credit. A wire transfer with a Letter of Credit is totally safe but very expensive. The buyer has to arrange for a Letter of Credit with his bank which which will collect the money and fees and transfer the sum to the sellers bank. Only after the seller has shipped the items and provides shipping and customs documents the money is relased.
I agree that Western Union is to be avoided by all means.

That may be, but it has been all over the news that if they request
wiring the money it is usually a sign of a rip off. I avoid anything
that looks the least bit fishy on the internet. Too many scams.

Look at it from the seller's point of view... foreign credit card
transactions are a huge risk. Why shouldn't they require a form of
payment that's safe for them?
