Question About Money Order

[ChrisOsCreations]

how does it work?
i only accepted pay-pal since i can't activate dc but some1 asked me to pay with m.o. and i know nothing about it
i'm not sure if i should tell them ok

It's kind of like a trade, if you've ever done that before. You add Money Order to your payment options, the buyer chooses Money Order when they are at checkout, mail it to you. After you get the money order and cash it, just to make sure it's valid, then you send the item.
Hope this helps!

I assume it's an international sale but I don't know how exactly it works. All I know is that the buyer needs to get an international money order that can be cashed in your country.

Personally, I stopped accepting money orders. They seem to only be used by scammers these days! There are much easier ways to shop.

I do MO- I can still remember my mom buying them to pay bills with; she would mail both the business check and a MO for the personal account at the same time. I've even used them a few times, too. A lot of people wtill use them to pay bills with, and a lot of older poeple use them becayuse they feel it's better than cash. As with checks, wait till you recieve the money order and then take it to Wal-Mart or the bank to cash it.

Honestly, I doubt somebody is going to go through all teh trouble of sending a mo to scam you out of $20 worth of merchandise. Now, $100? That I might think differently about.

That sounds more like a Money transfer a Money Order is when they go to the bank or a party store and purchase a certain amount and then they mail it to you and then you cash I heard it is a big hassle for International Monday orders if they do not get one for the country it is going to and someone told me it can take months to clear. I stopped using them as they were a pain to remember to watch for them and I only have maybe two in six months.

Yes, that sounds more like a transfer. Living here in Germany I won't accept money orders as the bank charges an outrageous fee to cash checks because no one here uses checks. I think I would lose money on the transaction.
