I have contacted an e-bay seller on a bag I would like to buy (been looking FOREVER for this bag), and she indicated that she doesn't ship to Canada due to customs issues in the past. I then asked if she can ship it to my cousin's place in California and she indicated that she can only ship to confirmed ppal addresses (so my cousin would have to pay from her account)...or I can pay by money order and she'll ship it anywhere. I would ask my cousin to pay from her account but it is a high amount (over $1000) and I don't want to put her on the spot like that. Any ideas anyone?? I'm aware that ppal protects the buyer so I'll lose that protection if I pay by mo...but how risky would it be to pay by mo?
