I am selling something on Ebay, and received a question asking if I would accept a money order from Canada. I am thinking that this would put the seller in more jeopardy than me. I would deposit the money order, and would be able to tell if it was fake straight away from my bank, wouldn't I? I know that right now the American dollar is weaker in relation to the Canadian, so the buyer would be getting a better deal than say, a year ago. How does the conversion factor work with money orders? Does anyone know any other drawbacks to this, from my sellers perspective?

What about shipping to Canada? I know it is more expensive, but are there cons from the selller perspective in shipping to Canada?
