International money orders?

vicky · Jan 22nd, 2007, 03:45 AM

I have noticed that many US sellers who don't accept Paypal from overseas would take a money order. I am familiar with Western Union, but are there any other money order services that work internationally?

Bidpay, is good they send a cheque to the seller. I am in the UK and have used them a few times

Yes, I used them once or twice last spring, but I thought they closed down? There was a notice on their website some months ago that they were no longer in business.

Bidpay is still around. I think they were taken over by another company and changed some of their policies. It used to be free for the seller and the buyer used to pay the fees. Now the seller is responsible for the fees, but they are is less than paypal.

Great with an alternative to Paypal.

Hello Westiegirl, I've tried BidPay and to receive payment by BidPay but it looks I need to have saving account in my credit card bank issuer, doesn't it? Do you've an idea if my bank is different with my cedit card bank issuer? Thanks

Mo's scare me. too many scams. eBay recommends against using money orders or western union. not safe in case of a dispute, either.
