Then treat it like a check, don't send the mdse until it clears your Bank, the buyer cant complain about the delay because he didn't pay As requested. Unless it was big bucks the chance of someone going to GREAT GREAT effort to try to make a good enough fake print of a money order is nearly nil IMHO. That's all I am saying... jco

And while I realize that the chances of this guy's mo being a forgery is mighty slim, it can happen. But the real issue is i don't want to run all over town to cash this jamoke's mo - I wanted a USPS money order. Why is that so effin' hard to comprehend. It is more convenient and faster for me to take a USPS mo at this time. Need I explain everything that's going on in my life right now. See my other posts. In fact, someone on this list just purchased something from me. In most cases, actually, in every case, I'd take a personal check from a list member, and I also do for eBay sales, but, as I explained to the buyer, there are circumstances right now that make anything other than a USPS mo a PITA to deal with. The PDML buyer had no problem sending a USPS mo. Shel > [Original Message] > From: J. C.
