Re: Selling out of state
with postal money orders if they get lost inmail you can not put a stop payment on them and will take you 3 months to get a refund from the post office,if it is not cashed by then,,if someone else cashes it you are on your own recovering the funds,,,
if you take a personal check and it is lost he can stop payment and send another one,,when you receive a personal check and take it to your bank it will take 2-3 days for it to clear and then you ship the whatever,,
most people demand a postal money order but once you go through the hassle of getting refunded when they get lost you start to reconsider,,
I have refused to use paypal but after going through a lost money order ordeal I have been thinking hard about switching views on it,,
