Everything about making business with Brazil sucks, it's too expensive for them to buy stuff outside Brazil, it's difficult to receive money from Brazilian users, it's difficult to send money out of Brazil, difficult or prohibitive expensive...
You can check these services:

http://www.sendmoney.com.br/www.westernunion.comHmm. But he can send money through paypal for 3%~. That would seem better. The problem is paypal also keep an extra 2% on currency conversion. And then i have the turn the paypal money into Bitcoin somehow or find a seller here that takes Paypal.
This sound like a pain. But 12% is being retarded and not doable. The 15% tax explain the price of BTC on Brazilian exchange, however.
Still there has to be a way to transfer fund with smaller amount of fee. If BTC is too expensive then we just have to find a cash way, hmm.
Paypal can only be used for purchases, not money transfer.
He send me fund through Paypal regularly so unless you meant in service intent, thats definitively not the case. Thankfully.
Paypal can only be used for purchases, not money transfer.
If the funds are sent through friends and family you can transfer money through PayPal. VirosaGITS could use that method (without having problems) if he's receiving money from his friend.
Almost 100% correct, everyone has the option to "send funds" but "to friends and family" that let you avoid fees isint even an option to Brazilians. And if you send to friends and family internationally i've still been hit by the fee. So the only fee-less Paypal transfer i ever done was Canada to Canada and US to US accounts.

Thanks for all the replies, but yes thats correct, the Brazilian exchange has a 12-15% markup, so thats not very workable =/. As such Paypal is the best option currently but its a pain to deal with Paypal and then spend the Paypal funds.
I'll have to see if Western Union could be less fees... This sucks however xD
