I would just accept the Western Union money order. You should be able to redeem it at any Western Union office. Some buyers will assume that a money order is a money order. You're never going to convince him that it has to be a USPS money order. Ebay probably won't buy that argument either. Generally, if a buyer makes payment with anything other than a personal check, the seller has to deliver the goods. Paul On Sep 19, 2006, at 9:12 PM, Shel Belinkoff wrote:
