I'm in the UK. I used BidPay years ago when PayPal was
still X-something or other and only covered the US. As
far as I can remember, I paid BidPay and they would send
a US$ MO to the recipient. Said recipient would then
presumably head off to wherever and cash it (and then
hopefully send along my goods).
At which point can they end up getting cheated? In particular,
since BidPay used to send confirmation emails to all and sundry,
how can the seller get bitten?
