A while ago there was some talk about Ebay and not wanting to use Paypal
there for assorted reasons. Since I'm a relative newcomer to this list, I
figured I should wait before saying anything along these lines. So...
I'm in the business of selling classic computer stuff on Ebay under the ID
of "frotz661". See if you can guess the hidden references in that name.
Anyhow, I let some people talk me into accepting money orders. Then I got
burned by people who like to wait forever,
That's a common problem no matter what payment method you use. Add a
statement to your listings stating that payment must be recievved within X
days or negative feedback will be given and the item relisted and then do it!
money orders from Bumpassville
Supermarket,
and? Who cares where it's from as long as it's good. the ones to watch
out for are US Postal Money Orders since they're currently being forged.
and so on. So I decided not to accept them anymore. You
guys seem to be a more reliable bunch, so if you email
me ahead of time,
I get money orders all the time and I've never had a problem with them.
(Knock on wood!) I also take checks and never had a problem with those
either.
I'll accept a US Postal money order.
See above!
